Can I set up Protectli Vault ports to create two different LANs, each with its own VPN installed on the Vault? (alien.top)

I'm getting a 4-port Protectli Vault, and would like the option to choose between two different VPNs—a PIA dedicated IP address, and a standard NordVPN server. I'd like to run my personal computer directly into the LAN port using my dedicated VPN address from PIA, and put a router on one of the opt ports to make a wifi network which uses the standard VPN.

I don't even need instructions as I don't have the Protectli yet and can probably figure it out once I'm in pfSense, I just want to make sure it's possible before I purchase the device.

Thank you all.

yeah totally easy. and you dont even really need to seperate into two LANs, use a policy for your computer's MAC address and redirect the gateway and visa versa.

you can do it practically any way you want.

Should be possible, multiple subnets will get you two different LANs. Good resource: Tom Lawrence youtube channels. He has an episode or 2 featuring VPN that should be helpful.

r/pfsense is also a resource that is available.
