    OpenVPN Toggle On/Off?

    I want to do this too. If I add up the amount of time I spend finding a spare laptop, logging into the router, going to VPN, going to OpenVPN settings then toggling the client, then doing the reverse once I need to watch something which is VPN blocked, and repeating this every time one person in...

    Smart home toggle for VPN Client in Merlin

    Hi, do you have a specific line of code for this please? I am not a coder myself so I need all the help I can get. Thanks.

    Smart home toggle for VPN Client in Merlin

    Definitely not my VPN. The tunnel for iPlayer traffic only works when you choose a non UK exit tunnel. If you choose a UK server from among many, the company just sends all traffic regularly and doesn't filter it. I have tried another service already. It is just the way that they store their...

    Smart home toggle for VPN Client in Merlin

    To get viewers from both forum sections. One is for VPN, one is for Merlin firmware. I am sure there are some who frequent VPN who do not have Merlin and vice versa, but the question is reaching out to both.

    Smart home toggle for VPN Client in Merlin

    Hi. Xentrk and I have been finding it impossible to solve the issue of finding all the IP ranges to effectively send just the AppleTV BBC iPlayer app down a VPN tunnel, sparing the rest of its apps. So I am trying to think of what else could be done to make the task of turning on and off the VPN...

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Do any other VPN wizards visit this site? It seems like you are the only one here or at least the only one who wants to help.

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    I have been tailing the iPlayer for a while now and something is apparent. Almost all the domains stay constant, however there is one CDN server who constantly produces new domains. If I start tailing the AppleTV log again it will always throw up new versions of these domains (Here is an example...

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Thanks. Is there any harm in having this script execute every minute? The IP's from akamai seem to literally change on the fly. For example, I just started up my new script which repeats the old script 5 times consecutively. It seemed to have found all the iptable rules it was going to find. So...

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Alternatively, how would I set the routing script that uses the BBCdns list, to execute every hour (updating the list of IPs in the iptables)? I would need it to execute about 5 times consecutively and then wait an hour or so, then repeat. This repeated execution of the script seems to be the...

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Yikes. As always with this, I spoke too soon. The ranges have changed AGAIN. I think this is going to be prohibitively difficult since it seems that iPlayer accesses Akamai CDN servers across such a broad range of IP's for different videos and at different times of the day that the only way to...

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    In trying to simplify things more and more I have gone back to the original technique. I have taken the IP ranges that have data packets in the iptables status report, whenever the script is working and have entered them as IP ranges in the GUI policy rules. Much simpler and it works. The domain...

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Hi Xentrk. I have tried to simplify my script since there wasn't really any need for the parts that showed errors consistently anyway, and only one ip was in OVPNC1 Here is my new script and it works fine, but with some issues that I will go into. https://pastebin.com/raw/MGNdb4N0 Basically...

    Try completing the script though and see if it works like mine does. As I keep saying mine shows errors at the stage. But it goes through to the next part and so fundamentally the script works.

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Shouldn't this: Route SlingTV Domain Names to VPN Client 2 go to mark 0x1000? It seems like you are overcomplicating things for now with two clients. Try to get it to work with just one first. Also, I still get those exact same iptable errors, but the script still works. As in I can watch...

    Yeah, sorry must have set an expiration time for it. Will edit this into the original instructions: https://pastebin.com/raw/9KfiVG26

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    No, it doesn't solve the errors. I still get this iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. after many of the lines. But for some reason the script still fundamentally works. No idea why. Having said that, the script currently seems to be broken again. I think the IP ranges have shifted...

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Apparently the openvpn-event script is unreliable, so for now I have added up /jffs/scripts/IPSET_VPN_Routing.sh to the Custom Configuration part of the Client GUI. (Is this what is meant by Custom Directive?) I will see how this goes.

    Selective Routing with Asuswrt-Merlin

    I think nat-start won't do it for me at least, since the script seems to run only for a couple of hours before I have to restart it again. Meanwhile there has been no restarts. Any ideas of what could be causing the stop so often? Maybe the VPN is restarting? Also, do you know how I can get...
