OpenVPN client "Policy Rules (Strict)" Issue

[sl4fko]

Hi.

I configured NordVPN OpenVPN client on my AC86U (Merlin 384.15) and it works just fine. However, since Netflix does not work on my Fire TV with VPN, I somehow have to exclude it from connecting to VPN.

My settings are as shown on screenshots in pasted links!

As soon as I turn on the "Force Internet traffic through tunnel" setting to "Policy Rules", my ISP IP is visible on ipleak.net, so VPN is not working...

Further more, I installed all options of x3mRouting in Putty and ran:

sh /jffs/scripts/x3mRouting/load_DNSMASQ_ipset_iface.sh 0 NETFLIX netflix.com,nflxext.com,nflximg.net,nflxso.net,nflxvideo.net


Netflix does work after enabling Policy Rules but I think because VPN doesn't (visible ISP IP!!!) and not because of the script...



Hopefully it makes sense, what I wrote...


Thanks for your help!

Make sure you do add rules, because the default is to NOT redirect any traffic. Only traffic covered by rules will be.
