Connecting specific devices only via VPN?

[vpn080618 0]

Hello

I use an Asus RT-AC86U and followed this tutorial to use AirVPN which works well now.

Is there any possibility to set which of my devices use the connection via VPN and which use my normal internet connection?

I assumed before I bought the router that I can set up 2 connections, but I can't find something like this in the GUI. Is this not possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You're looking for something called 'policy based routing'. Which is where you would set the IP of the device you want to use the tunnel and then explicitly route traffic from that device, through the tunnel or gateway. Merlin and DD-WRT have this feature, but I can't say for sure about the stock firmware.

I installed Merlin on my router but could not find this feature.

Is there any tutorial for a noob to do this with Merlin?
