OpenVPN client to one or two SSIDs only

[David Arnstein]

I have an RT-AC68P and Asuswrt-Merlin. I also have an OpenVPN server in another city.

I would like to operate an OpenVPN client on my RT-AC68P and connect it to the OpenVPN server. I would like to create one or two SSIDs on the RT-AC68P that send/receive all of their packets through the resulting OpenVPN connection. I would like to create other SSIDs that send/receive all of their packets without transit through OpenVPN. As well, I would like the four wired ethernet ports on the back of the RT-AC68P to send all of their packets without transit through OpenVPN.

I suspect that I would need two WiFi routers to accomplish this, or a single network appliance that is more sophisticated and expensive than an Asus router. Any suggestions?

Outstanding! YazFi gave me control over guest networks. In the OpenVPN client menus, there is an item Rules for routing client traffic through the tunnel that gave me sufficient control over machines on my wired LAN.

Thank you for your suggestion!
