I have OpenVPN client configured per the image attached on an RT-AC86U with Merlin 386.1_2. The router is connecting via PPPoE to an ISP supplied fibre modem/router. The latter has it's wifi/DHCP turned off, and the RT-AC86U DMZ'd.
"Force Internet traffic through tunnel"
I appreciate any insights.
"Force Internet traffic through tunnel"
- Set to "Yes" works fine for all clients.
- Set to "Policy Rules" or Strict works fine for a desktop connected to the router via a switch and for a laptop connected by 5Ghz wifi, but results in delayed loading of websites/content for a television connected directly to the router and for a cellphone connected via either 2.4 or 5GHz wifi. When I say delayed loading I mean, for example, when I try to open a website there is a few seconds of delay before things load, and certain items on the page may experience an additional delay before they pop up. Perhaps relevant, "The Weather Network" app on the television fails to load anything under this configuration (other apps work, with delayed load times from the internet). Doing a speed test on on the cellphone using dslreports shows a good bandwidth of 50 down, 30 up.
- Both scenarios above are routing through the VPN successfully.
I appreciate any insights.
