I have ppp0 (external interface)
 
I also have ppp1 through ppp200  (vpn connections)
 
How can I apply a rule to all the vpn connections but omit ppp0
 
 
Is it some combination of ppp+ and ! ppp0
 
Or is it two separate rules.  And which rule would go first if they are
separate?
 
Thx,
doug

silly question - Can you rename your ppp0 interface to something else?
That is what I did for a similar problem.
