Ah, well the VPN client I config in my router so as long as Proton uses OpenVPN or WireGuard I should be able to get it to work, even though I barely know what I'm doing. Converting settings files manually to settings in pfSense is doable.
I can't speak about pfsense or router-based configs, I have zero experience there. The Proton website does have openVPN and wire guard manual setup instructions though. You could try it with a free account first to make sure everything works before committing to paying for it. If you're interested, I can show you the changes I made to the openVPN config file to allow split tunneling. Again though, I don't know how that translates to pfsense.
Good to hear they have manuals for both OpenVPN and WireGuard. Thanks for the info. And thanks for offering to show me split tunneling, but I don't think that's necessary at the moment. But it's great to know there's a way to set it up like that, I'll keep that in mind if I need it in the future.
