Hi all,
I have an Amazon Fire TV/Ipad that I would like to occasionally connect to a hosted VPN. One option is to enter the details of the vpn via each device (... may not be for the FireTV) But I would like to configure this via the router And not for all IP addresses on my network.
After some initial checking it appears that the ASUS RT (AC68/87/62) WIFI routers can achieve this but by installing the merlin firmware. Unfortunately there is no Merlin support for the VDSL2 version of these routers (i.e. Asus DSL AC68U) .... and I would rather a single box modem/router solution for my Fibre optic broadband.
So my questions are :-
(1) Using another pc/ Virtual machine to do the routing
Could I achieve this type of selective routing by using e.g. A Virtual machine/PC on my network running linux/windows?
I am assuming that only web traffic (from FireTV/Ipad) will be forwarded to a machine which will then decide on forwarding to the my router as normal or VPN traffic?
(2) Asus DSL AC68U modem router + Asus RT-AC87 (with merlin) on same network
My networking knowledge is rubbish so just thinking out loud ......
Is it possible to have both devices dishing out a limited range of IP on same network. Then set some clients to connect to the RT-AC87 (wired/wireless) which will do the selective IP routing....?
(1) will be ideal if possible because it means I could test without additional purchases .....
cheers
