Which router can do 2 simultaneous connections?

[Moat 11]

Which router, or "open/free" firmware, can do 2 simultaneous connections to airvpn, and route traffic to either VPN connection based on the MAC address?

 

computerMAC1->router->airvpn1connection

computerMAC2->router->airvpn1connection

computerMAC3->router->airvpn1connection

computerMAC4->router->airvpn2connection

computerMAC5->router->airvpn2connection

I know pfsense can, but that's not what you're asking for I'm guessing.

OpenWRT/LEDE can, but requires you to set custom Firewall zones, which is documented in the Wiki.

Possibly AsusWRT can do it as well.

If I read enough papers and forums: DD-WRT, Tomato, pfsense, OpenWRT/LEDE all can, but only through command line configuration, often requiring scripts at router startup. None can in an easy end-user experience through a GUI. I need the latter as I am no coder, just an end user.

 

Seems pretty useful for an end user to be able to GUI configure 2 SSID and 2 VPN on 1 router. Separate guests & home users, separate different machines/devices, separate different geographic bound services, etc. Hint at airvpn to create an "Eddie" for routers ?

If you live in a place where you can buy computer parts cheap you can build a machine quite suitable for running pfsense and the like for much less than a high powered consumer router costs...and yet have so much more control and the ability to run openvpn at high speed due to an AES-NI CPU.

 

Then just use your current wifi router as an access point and control which gateway devices use on the gateway itself via NAT and Firewall rules.  It's all done via a nice web GUI and there's a great guide on this forum.

Tomato can either indirectly or by way of iptables. What I would do is specify an IP range routed through the VPN via CIDR notation in the GUI and then set static leases accordingly for the MAC addresses in question. Set the default lease range inside or outside the VPN range, depending on whether you want unknown MAC addresses routed through the VPN or not.
