    Okay thanks for the help. I run home assistant on a raspberry pi mostly to automate some yeelight smart bulbs and a ZigBee gateway with child devices.

    Selective routing for VPN question

    I think this probably would work but means that i have to individually write down every IP address of the devices that i don't want the kill switch to apply to (in your example, dervices like the xxx.xxx.xxx.123).

    Selective killswitch on Asus Merlin

    I didn't think of that, that's a great idea. I have about 25 IoT devices so rather than individually input all their IP addresses, I'm assuming I can set up one VPN client where i add the IP addresses for our laptops/phones and make the interface 'VPN' and then a second VPN client that includes...

    Selective killswitch on Asus Merlin

    Hi, I have an Asus RT-AC86U flashed with merlin and have just set up openVPN using Private Internet Access. I understand that you can use policy based routing to route devices with particular IP addresses through the VPN tunnel while excluding others. Can you do the same with the VPN killswitch...
