    Bypassing Merlin router-based VPN for specific software

    I have an ASUS RT-AC68U running Merlin, and PIA VPN. I want to run the traffic for my LG WebOS TV through the VPN and there is no way to install a VPN client on the TV locally (which would be the easiest way to switch the tunnel on/off) so my only viable solution is to run it through the router...

    Long time reader, first time poster. I keep running into an issue with my VPN tunnel to PIA. It seems like the tunnel will drop (and need to be manually restarted) at least every other day.
