Been using this method for years, first using OpenVPN and now Wireguard (actually I have 2 Wireguard gateways and a road warrior setup), the firewall rules, NAT and alias are the important parts. Never had a kill switch before but meh seen you do it so couldn't hurt to have it as well.
thank you for the detailed video.
here is my fail safe method for privacy vpn's. its using the remote command with server and port under custom options within Pfsense:
remote 1.1.1.1 1196 that is an example IP obviously 1196 is the port used
this means if the connection drops it reconnects with the next available server on the list, i've added multiple including another countries in case all of US servers go down.

--remote host [port] [proto]
I remotely access my home network to access stuff on My iPhone. Is there a way to change the outgoing gateway of my connected iPhone to one of these gateways so that when Iām connected I can still remotely access my network and my outgoing traffic is still private?
I tried making an alias for my iOS stuff and made the same LAN and NAT rules for the OpenVPN interface but my outgoing traffic is still my ISP IP.
Any tips would be helpful. Thanks!
