Policy Routing

[keef]

Hello. I am trying to to setup a pc to go around the VPN tunnel. Using OpenVPN I have policy rules enabled with VPN and WAN as the active interfaces. I entered the pc's ip (192.168.1.135) and selected WAN as the interface with no luck.

I run Merlin 384.13 and its driving me nuts.

thanks

Can you build another network and route around the VPN?

Maybe create a routing statement for 1 IP?

Would that be using Dual Wan?

- assign manually an IP for this PC, so it doesn't change (important)
- enable Redirect Internet traffic -> Policy rules (strict)
- Block routed clients if tunnel goes down -> Yes (this is your Kill Switch, in case VPN goes down)
- All Clients | 192.168.1.0/24 | 0.0.0.0 | VPN (for network-wide VPN)
- Special PC | 192.168.1.135 | 0.0.0.0 | WAN (to exclude this PC from VPN)
- Apply (don't forget to save the changes)

Perfect! Works great, thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
