  2. Copy the entry that contains your local IP address (The one that does not contain port 500 nor 127.0.0.0 , In this example 172.17.1.0/24 is used, for you this will most like differ and will probably be 192.168.1.0/24)  by clicking on the Copy icon found under Actions to the right of the NAT entry (Add a new mapping based on this one)
  3. Click on the Pen icon (Edit mapping)  and change so that interface is the mullvad one and write a description.
  4. Make sure that both Disabled and do not NAT are unchecked
  5. Delete the other rules that contain your local IP that exists via WAN , (keep the 127.0.0.0) This will ensure that you can not reach the internet if the VPN tunnel is down from your clients behind the pfSense router.

Troubleshooting

I am running an older version of pfSense (2.3.x) and some things are not available or renamed. Where do I configure them?

TLS authentication is now called TLS Configuration.

UDP Fast I/O is not available as a checkbox icon on pfSense 2.3.x.

Send / Receive Buffers dropdown menu is not available on pfSense 2.3.x.
