computers not through VPN selective routing??

[squirrellydw]

I have my VPN setup, PIA and would like one computer and two iPhones NOT use the VPN. How do I do that? Any help would be great.

Spoiler: Read me: OpenVpn policy routine

OpenVPN client policy routing
-----------------------------
When configuring your router to act as an OpenVPN client (for instance
to connect your whole LAN to an OpenVPN tunnel provider), you can
define policies that determines which clients, or which destinations
should be routed through the tunnel, rather than having all of your
traffic automatically routed through it.

On the OpenVPN Clients page, set "Redirect Internet traffic" to
"Policy Rules". A new section will appear below, where you can
add routing rules. The "Source IP" is your local client, while
"Destination" is the remote server on the Internet. The field can be
left empty (or set to 0.0.0.0) to signify "any IP". You can also
specify a whole subnet, in CIDR notation (for example, 74.125.226.112/30).

The Iface field lets you determine if matching traffic should be sent
through the VPN tunnel or through your regular Internet access (WAN).
This allows you to define exceptions (WAN rules being processed
before the VPN rules).

Here are a few examples.

To have all your clients use the VPN tunnel when trying to
access an IP from this block that belongs to Google:

RouteGoogle 0.0.0.0 74.125.0.0/16 VPN

Or, to have a computer routed through the tunnel except for requests sent
to your ISP's SMTP server (assuming a fictious IP of 10.10.10.10 for your
ISP's SMTP server):

PC1 192.168.1.100 0.0.0.0 VPN
PC1-bypass 192.168.1.100 10.10.10.10 WAN

Another setting exposed when enabling Policy routing is to prevent your
routed clients from accessing the Internet if the VPN tunnel goes down.
To do so, enable "Block routed clients if tunnel goes down".

thanks, so if I want my wife's computer NOT to use the VPN. I would enter her IP in the SOURCE IP and select WAN?

Yes, like this:
wife-2.0 192.168.1.100 0.0.0.0 WAN

yup it worked, thank you

I was under the impression that the 'default' (i.e VPN on and configured, but no policy rules set) was all traffic through WAN, unless each device is set in policy rules to use VPN interface?
