Ok, so maybe I am just having one of those moments but I am stuck and pretty sure it can be done... 

So I have a cloud linux server that I use for some Dev stuff on. It is running Wireguard server. I can connect to it via Wireguard client on my MAC and a Windows system. 

So I thought instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting each system when needed, how about just add the cloud server as a VPN client to my FWG and setup a routing so anything that is on 10.6.0.0 will go through the vpn client. I can get FWG to connect to the server but I cannot for the life of me get ANY system on any of my VLANS to even ping it. I have all my FW rules set correctly... In theory this should work... 

So thoughts on why it would not?

  You will need to add devices to the VPN client. see https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023379953-VPN-Client

  ok, think I got it working now. Rebooted FWG after removing all hints of the VPN, then set it up again and seems to be working.
