I am considering buying a AsusWRT-Merlin based router ASUS RT-AC88U.
I am aiming to have more VPN clients, clients:
- dedicated to streaming from different countries
- dedicated to P2P
- dedicated to normal safe trafic in my homeland
- and the ability to passthru the router without using the VPN clients
But I am not sure, how I can or should set it up, so let me give you an example:
- My wife is watching some Danish web tv, and is therefore connected to a Danish vpn-server. She then wants to watch some US Netflix and therefore wants to switch to an US vpn-server.
- At the same time i'm watching BBC and is connected to an UK vpn server. Then I want to do some local banking and other administrative tasks, and therefore I want to use a connection to a DK vpn server.
- And one of the kids are playing a game directly on the wan.
We are all using Windows 7 based computers, both wired and wireless.
I now you can setup router rules, or you can logon to the router and change the setup, but that is not an option,as neither my wife nor my kids are IT-whizs.
I'm thinking of some kind of interface on the pc, where you can select which vpn-client you want to use, something like this, for example:
1. VPN connection ending in DK
2. VPN connection ending in UK
3. VPN connection ending in US
4. Connection without VPN
Please select: _
That is, that the connection isn't guided by rules on the router, but by choice/selection on the individual
workstation.
Is this an option, and how to implement it?
