I just bought the Asus RT-AC68U and it is a very capable router with many features, even with just the stock firmware. But Tomato and Advanced Tomato can be flashed onto it if needed. I do not know much about those firmwares though. I would be willing to upgrade the firmware and flash to the Tomato or advanced tomato or whatever else there is to flash onto it that people may know about, if it would allow me to do what I am trying to do.
Situation:
I set up a VPN on this router to cover my network devices that are connected to the switch-ports mainly. But what happens is that when I have the VPN activated; it allows me to connect to servers back in the United States and use sites and stream content that I would otherwise not be able to. But family members connecting to the network via the WiFi with their phones experience a major slowdown due to their activity being sent to the other side of the world and back before it gets loaded onto their phones or other WiFi devices.
Question:
Does anyone know a way to configure the settings in the router so that I can be selective as to what goes through the VPN and what does not? For example, is there a way to make it so only the switch-ports use the VPN but data flowing to or through the WiFi bypasses the VPN? Or is there a way to be selective as to what devices use the VPN or not? For example if a device is assigned a certain MAC address, then it uses the VPN. If the MAC address is in a different grouping, then it does not go through the VPN?
