Do NOT route my traffic through the VPN

[mousi]

Hello, I use my AC68U as a client to a PPTP server to be able to access my work documents. When it is connected all traffic is routed through the VPN connection. Is there any way I can route all traffic through my "normal" ADSL connection and only route a subnet through the VPN?

I'm sorry if this is answered somewhere else but all I could find was about "selective routing". I believe my case is much simpler than that.

Thank you in advance!

That`s something interesting I would like to know the same...

Here is an interesting Blog (in German so use google translator) about selective Routing http://www.ophion.ch/nix/selektives-routing-auf-einem-asus-rt-ac56u/

the downloadable script looks very interesting for somebody with enough knowledge (not me )

Can't you use home computer as VPN client for office network?
IMHO, it's the best solution only if you don't have many home computers all of which you need to be able to access office documents.

Look, the problem is that PPTP client of your home router changes default gateway of the router to pptp link.
It does so because office server directs it.
So the solution is either to change office server settings or to write some ip-up/ip-down script for pptp connection to set/restore router's default gateway.
Not an easy task, I think.

The main 'selective routing' thread describes the solution where a single device, range of devices or subnet is 'redirected' (or forced) to use the OpenVPN VPN client connection(s) on the router whilst the remainder of the internet traffic uses the WAN port as normal.

The OpenVPN clients on the router make it much easier to implement selective routing, however, a knowledgeable guru kindly took the time to adapt the OpenVPN selective routing script into one that works for the PPTP VPN router client:
