l2tp vpn client for only one device

[Martineau]

You're a lifesaver, man. That worked.

So, to be clear, I have to turn on the VPN, run the script, and also run:

ip route del 0.0.0.0/1

ip route del 128.0.0.0/1

Is there any way to get this to happen automatically when I turn on the VPN?

I'm not 100% sure if this was a change that is now permanently included in the v386.x builds or was a v384.19 'feature'

The easiest solution would be to include the two commands in the PPTP_Select.sh script assuming it is always called manually once the VPN is UP

e.g. see this post for a technique to auto=execute PPTP-Select.sh upon a WAN event.

I don't know if this is the correct thread to post this question but since I'm running Merlin firmware will ask here anyway. I have a vpn subscription from a provider that offers only l2tp protocol, but my need is to connect only 1 device to this server as I'm using it to watch iptv which is not...

Man, you're a regular Mister Wizard. I decided I wanted a one-click way to start the VPN and configure it for one device, so I looked around and found a thread that talked about starting PPTP over SSH, and it ends up you wrote that script too: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/start-l2tp-vpn-client-over-ssh.39782/

So, I made two scripts. The first one uses the script from the link above to start the VPN, then it calls the PPTP_Select.sh script to configure the VPN for just one IP (I have to sleep for a bit before that to wait for the VPN to "turn on", otherwise it doesn't work). The second one clears all of the settings for PPTP VPN and then calls stop_vpncall to turn VPN off.

I found and app for Android to execute ssh commands, and now I got two buttons on my phone, one to turn on VPN and one to turn it off. Thanks, man.
