Hi all - I have recently setup a VPN so I can watch BBC iplayer on my apple TV while temporarily living in Australia.

So far I have got the VPN connection to a UK server working. Installed x3mrouting. Configured the client to use 'policy rules (strict)' and added my apple TV as a specific device/ip to use the VPN. and.... it is working so thanks for this great project on top on another great project - merlin.

The only issue is that I have to switch VPN on/off to toggle between UK and AU services which means it's too hard for wifey and a little bit of a pain for me.

Is there a way to isolate just the BBC iplayer traffic and only push this through the VPN connection?

@Xentrk Thank you, I will try that.

Just found out my work laptop doesn't like my VPN for whatever reason. I now have reserved ip 192.168.50.60 to the laptop and want to bypass all traffic from this directly to WAN.

can I still do this with x3mRouting option 3 or do I have to install option 1?

or can I use this option under VPN Client UI.

You don't need x3mRouting for only one client bypass. Just as you have it above should work fine. It is suggested that you also route the router IP address to the WAN interface so services like ntp can still be accessed when the VPN is down.

A recent update caused some changes to BBC which required some analysis. So far, I have it working with the method below. I am routing ALL BBC traffic to the "source destination" VPN Client 4. So adjust accordingly. The other item is the AWS method may not be required. I noticed many reply records resolving to AWS EU server and added it during the initial analysis. It may work without it but I have not confirmed.

Install x3mRouting option 3. Then, in a SSH command line copy/paste the following after adjusting the "to destination 4":

Code: 
sh /jffs/scripts/x3mRouting/x3mRouting.sh ALL 4 AWS_EU aws_region=EU
sh /jffs/scripts/x3mRouting/x3mRouting.sh ALL 4 BBC_ASN asnum=AS2818,AS31459
sh /jffs/scripts/x3mRouting/x3mRouting.sh ALL 4 BBC_WEB1 dnsmasq=2cnt.net,at-o.net,bbc.com,bbcverticals.com,co.uk,dotmetrics.net,net.uk

BBC traffic will have a higher priority than the clients specified in the policy table.

For the dnsmasq method to work, you have to have dnsmasq logging enabled.

all good with current setup so far.

now I want to route traffic from vpn client 1 to vpn client 5 for website zee5.com. vpn client 1 is connected to newyrok server, vpn client 5 is connected to India server, both on at the same time.

will this work?
Code: 
x3mRouting ALL 5 ZEE5  dnsmasq=zee5.com

or should I do this?
Code: 
x3mRouting 1 5 ZEE5  dnsmasq=zee5.com

Thank you for this info - much appreciated.

I think i know what I need to do but how do I 'just' do this action for the one client - my apple TV.

I think i need to adjust the above as follows:

1. change the ALL above to just the IP of my apple tv
2. use the correct VPN client (I have it setup on 2 not 4)
3. remove the client from the list in the policy table

Does that sound right?

The first command is correct. It is saying direct ALL domains that end with zee5.com to VPN Client 5. The first parm after x3mRouting is the "source" of the traffic and the third parm the "destination".

The BBC rule will take priority over rules for LAN clients. For example, you can specify that the Apple TV get routed to VPN Client 1 or the WAN. However, BBC traffic will have a higher priority. We call this the Policy Routing Data Base or RMDB. You can use the "ip rule" command to display the list of rules/priorities.

I have policy rules to route most streaming media to Dedicated/Private VPN and rules to route LAN clients to shared VPN servers.

Is dnsmasq logging enabled? It is required for dnsmasq method.

The other issue is the site may be referencing other domains. For example, for Netflix, you can't just specify dnsmasq=netflix.com. I wish it was that easy. As a result, you will have to do some analysis.
Code: 
For example, get our network as quiet as possible. Direct all internet traffic to the destination that will work with zee5.com.  Make sure all browser sessions are closed. In SSH session, run the getdomainnames.sh script. Next specify the name of the output file and device IP address

/jffs/scripts/x3mRouting# sh getdomainnames.sh

Enter a descriptive name of the output file ==> zee

Enter the IP address ==> 192.168.20.152

I suspect you need to add more top level domain:

Code: 
dnsmasq=kaltura.com,minute.ly,qgr.ph,qgraph.io,quantumgraph.com,zee5.com

But it is a trial and error. It took me several days off and on to get it right for BBC and Paramount Plus with their recent changes.

The other thing I do sometimes is use the follow dnsmasq log feature of Diversion to spot other domains. The other trick I do sometimes is to right click on the browswer of the site and view the source code. Then search for .com or .net.
 
Below is an example of view dnsmasq.log option 2 in Diversion. It is the query[A] records we want to specify in the dnsmasq method. The ipset feature of dnsmasq will then load the IPv4 addresses of the reply records.

Thanks and appreciate you taking the time to explain this all to me!

So, for my use case (iplayer on appletv) I think i have to choose - either:

1. route the apple TV through the VPN - so turn on VPN when I want to watch iplayer on ATV
2. route all bbc streaming related content through the vpn - so keep vpn on and all LAN clients use VPN for bbc streaming

With Asuswrt-Merlin, you can run from 1 to 5 VPN Clients at the same time. BBC blocks known VPN servers. As a result, I have a dedicated or private IP in UK that is not shared. I then route BBC traffic to the VPN Client to UK. For me, this is VPN client 3. I also have Netflix and other streaming services in my home country that block shared VPNs too. As a result, I route Netflix, Hulu, etc to my Private IP in US. This is VPN Client 1 on my router. Most LAN clients are assigned to use a shared VPN servers in Los Angeles. This is VPN client 2. I also have a few sites I need to route to the WAN. So I use the dnsmasq method for that.

As a result, most of my LAN devices default to Los Angeles for most web traffic. But BBC goes to VPN client 3 and US streaming services to VPN client 1. The x3mRouting rules will take higher priority than the LAN rules for clients. So, the clients can also be assigned to use the WAN or a VPN tunnel, but when they access BBC, the traffic will traverse thru the VPN in UK.

I can clearly see from the getdomainnames.sh that the two domains the zee5 app is hitting to detect country, both are xxxx.zee5.com so I added the code for it but still doesn't work. I do not see any other domains names even with Diversion option 2 before the app blocks

I even tried the code you provided with more additional domains, still no luck, can't even get to open the app.

Thanks again for all the help. You have a very clever and advanced setup. Amazing.

I have bbc iplayer working on my ATV when i switch on my VPN so this is a good start for now.

Your reply above confirms that you should have more than one entry in the ipset list. You can view using the command

ipset -L ZEE5

Another thing is zee5.com is hosted on Amazon AWS server.

There may be a conflict with the rule you have for Amazon as you are routing Amazon traffic to the WAN.

It took me several days to analyze BBC with an hour here or there as time allowed. I created a dedicated rule to route the appliance to the VPN. I would start streaming, selecting various menu choices, etc to create traffic. Not only on one device but on laptop and iOs as well. I kept monitoring dnsmasq log and refining until I finally got them all. So it can take some persistence and patience.

You are right, I see only one entry in the ipset.

Suresh@AX86U:/jffs/scripts# ipset -L ZEE5
Name: ZEE5
Type: hash:net
Revision: 6
Header: family inet hashsize 1024 maxelem 65536
Size in memory: 416
References: 1
Number of entries: 1
Members:
23.41.169.15

I can live without amazon.com rule, should I delete both amazon and zee5 and re-add just zee5? hope it populates correctly in ipset list.
