Hi
I'm just thinking about the best way to implement VPN for specific clients only on my home network.
I have an RT-N66U (with latest AsusWRT-Merlin firmware). I understand that using VPN on this router will considerably slow down download speeds due to processing requirements for VPN encryption.
The question - if I use policy based routing, will the clients that are not sent through the VPN also have a slow connection as a consequence of processing resources being focused on VPN activity, or will those connections side-step this and be fine?
I'm not too worried about download speeds for the VPN clients, but would not like the router to bottleneck the whole shebang.
Thanks!
