What settings do I need in addition to make this work? All traffic is still showing my ISP ip address. Thank you in advance.

You should be able to access this by clicking the Status tab in your router (left side of the screen), and then clicking the Logs link. On the screen in the white area under Logs, please click on View All. Please copy and paste the log text in your next reply, and I'll be glad to take a look at what's going on here!
Thank you
Please navigate to Tools>Commands in the Tomato GUI, and paste the result of the following commands into your reply:
route -nifconfig -a
If you ever need to tag me again, just append an @ to my forum handle (@PIAColleen) and I'll be notified by email.
Thank you for coming back to me.. please see below log.
apologies, client not running again.
You've got a PIA IP, a route to the other end of the VPN and two routes going through the VPN that are more specific than the default one. You have no IPv6 so IPv6 leaking is improbable.
Have you tried clearing your browser cache or using an incognito window to check the IP, just to be sure?
PIAColleen will be in tomorrow so she'll dig deeper with you but Linux-speaking, that looks perfectly fine to me
Thanks for your comments, i've tried all the above but to no avail... I'm sure we'll get there :-)
Do I need to set a routing policy on my primary rooter ?

In your case, it just looks like it's not sending anything to the VPN at all in the first place.
One way we could possibly force it to try the VPN would be to remove the default gateway. You can temporarily do this with this command:
And then see if the VPN is being used at all this way. To revert this change, just reboot the router and it will put it back. But before reverting, can you paste us the logs as well as the two commands @PIAColleen asked for again after doing that so we can have a look at the updated state of things?
Forgive me for being a complete noob. where would i enter this ?
administration > Scripts ?
(didn't work when i tried this)
I really do appreciate your time in assisting me and advanced apologies for the lack of understanding on the router configuration.
Many thanks & my regards,
Simon.
I've had a few hours trawling the internet but to no avail.
I'm going to change vpn provider if i cant get it working.
