Separate SSID for VPN snd routing

[walterg74]

Hi all,

I am about to buy an Asus AC86U, and want to know about a feature I need that I saw could be done, which is simply to have a separate SSID to use with an OpenVPN connection the router would establish.

Regarding I have 2 doubts:

1) I have seen you can create up to 3 "guest" SSIDs, but can you fully define everything for these? Including DHCP scope, etc., or is it all just automatic?

2) While I saw that you can have routing through the VPN based on src/dst subnets, is that the way traffic for clients on a separate SSID gets routed, or is there a different way this is configured? (i.e. bridging the SSID with the tunnel interface, etc.).

Thanks for your help!

Edit: I guess I have 3!

3) Is there an option to create "OpenVPN profiles" and to switch between them on the fly (through the GUI) so for example on one the router connects to a US server, on another toa European server, etc. without having to configure the OpenVPN section each time you wanted to switch servers?

Thanks, I will check those out in detail, though first glance at #3, my provider is not listed there (I use Winsdcribe).
