+How do you know if it works? If you do not know your current public IP, visit [[https://www.whatsmyip.org/]] and record it. The final step in these instructions suggest you visit this same site, and success is indicated when the IP Address returned is the IP address of the NordVPN service.
+**Note**: In our case, we have a second VPN instance which should supercede the NordVPN for certain subnets. After you have completed these instructions, you can see how to do this in [[other:networking:opnsense:nordvpnplus|]]

 At this point, all LAN traffic should go through the NordVPN. A simple way to check is to open a web browser to [[https://www.whatsmyip.org/]] and see that it is different from your WAN IP (which you saw before we started)
+To perform split tunnelling, where some traffic goes through nordVPN and other traffic goes through other services, see [[other:networking:opnsense:nordvpnplus|]]
