Looking for some help on the set up on Asus Merlin with Perfect Privacy on my RT AC-86U. My 50 mbps speed drops to 30 ish Mbps which is fine the problems in my 5-6 Mbps upload drops to under 1 Mbps sometimes 0.44 Mbps or so. To get Mbps up speed up enough to work with online back up I have to set my computer to WAN but want to do this by selecting Client Instance 2 instead of deleting and adding Laptop as WAN then back to VPN

Please let me know if you see an error or have a suggestion for my Client Instance 2. I want Client Instance 2 to bypass the laptop when I run online backup or other tasks that require decent upload speed. My set up for Client Instance 2 isn't working to allow faster upload Mbps but when I change the computer to WAN from VPN (by deleting and re-adding it) the upload Mbps goes up.

Also, how are clients not listed under rules treated? For example a smart TV a wireless printer, a friends phone, etc. that access my network how will the VPN treat them it there is not rule for that client?

My goal is this:

Client instance 1:
ROKU VPN bypasses/ WAN
Mobile Phone VPN
Laptop VPN

Client instance 2:
ROKU VPN bypasses/ WAN
Mobile Phone VPN
Laptop bypasses/ WAN

Before using Perfect Privacy I tried Express VPN first but there's no app for the 86U so I couldn't set some devices to bypass the VPN and it was blocking streaming sites it was blocking the Roku from streaming sites.

Thanks!


Background:
To get online back up Mbps speed up enough to work I have to set my computer to WAN but want to do this by selecting Client instance two not deleting and adding Laptop as WAN then back to VPN. So I change this set up:

Roku VPN 192.168.50.65 0.0.0.0 WAN
Mobile Phone 192.168.50.193 0.0.0.0 VPN
Laptop 192.168.50.24 0.0.0.0 VPN

to this set up with Laptop on WAN:

Roku VPN 192.168.50.65 0.0.0.0 WAN
Mobile Phone 192.168.50.193 0.0.0.0 VPN
Laptop 192.168.50.24 0.0.0.0 WAN
