ASUS AC86U no VPN connection

[peterc]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my ASUS AC86U Router. I use nordvpn and have configured the client on my Asus router according to the nord vpn instructions. when i activate the client, the router interface shows me that the client is active and which public ip address i should have. However, if I check my ip address on a website, it shows me real ip, that I have from my ISP. What is worth mentioning is that the ASUS router is connected to a Vodafone cable router. The firmware on the ASUS router is the Merlin RT-AC86U_386.10 Can anyone help me and tell me what the problem is with the VPN client not running properly?

In the vPN client settings GUI are you redirecting internet traffic through the tunnel ?

So have you set any policy rules ?

no, I havent
I've now set it to yes (all) and now it show me the VPN ip address. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the settings are concerned. Just to be sure, the way the setup is now, the entire network is routed to the VPN, right!?

ok, thank you very much!
