Just got my hands on a Netgear R7000 and successfully installed Asuswrt-Merlin so I can run OpenVPN Client.
Issue is I'd like to have only select devices use the OpenVPN Tunnel so naturally what I have read on this forum today and the wiki https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki
As I understand it, it should be as simple as setting:
Redirect Internet traffic: Policy Rules
Block routed clients if tunnel goes down: Yes (optional)
Rules for routing client traffic through the tunnel:
Source IP -> 10.0.1.14 Destination IP -> (blank) or 0.0.0.0 Ifac -> VPN
My results are All devices go through WAN (local IP) successfully. However the Device on 10.0.1.14 hangs and then returns page not available?
Switch Redirect Internet traffic: All Traffic and the results is all Devices go through the VPN as expected. (Shows my ip address as VPN)
Note I have done a Reboot after applying the setting and no change even if left for 10 to 20 min.
What am I doing wrong or have over looked? I feel like it is right there but I can't see the forest.
More information about the setup, if it helps...
NetGear R7000
Firmware 380.57
Router address is 10.0.1.1/26 (subnet mask 255.255.255.192) I choose to limit the number of hosts to 62.
DHCP Server is setup to hand out IP address from 10.0.1.52 to 10.0.1.62
Enable Manual Assignment: Yes
Manually Assigned IP around the DHCP list: I have 13 IP's assigned to devices MAC from 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.14
Most devices are LAN ethernet but a few are wireless only.
reading the forums here this seems to be a common issue for first time users. And the advice looked easy but it has proven to get the best of me and my current network skills.
