Hello, I'm having trouble trying to configure Asuswrt Merlin so that only my torrent client (deluge running on the router) goes through openvpn. I have tried the following methods:
1) Binding the torrent client to a specific IP (192.168.1.10) and using the VPN Director feature to route this IP to OVPN1 interface. This appears to work partially, but the torrent client is unable to download many torrents and speeds slower than usual.
2) If I route all traffic through the VPN, the client works fine, but I don't want all my computers to use the VPN, just the torrent client on the router.
3) If I use the VPN Director feature to route traffic from my router WAN IP to OVPN1, the torrent client works fine and my other computers don't use the VPN, but other services on the router are also routed through the VPN, and my torrent client will lose VPN every time my ISP changes my WAN IP.
I'm wondering why method 1 does not work properly?
