I tend to game a lot but want to have my vpn to be set up for almost all traffic except for games. Anyway to achieve this? Currently im running asuswrt-merlin custom firmware just so i could use a vpn on it.
So my main question is it possible to manage traffic on this firmware cause I cant find the option to do so anywhere and if no whats the firmware youd recommend to do that seeing I chose this one as its the closest to stock experience (mostly in case my less tech savy family needs to get on it once in blue moon)

The short answer is, you can't.
But take a look at this thread.
VPN off = not good. [image] VPN on = ~9x ping and ~1/4 d/l speed.
It's not like TWC / Spectrum was very good to begin with, but since I setup my VPN now I can't play games online because my ping is too high. I can feel the glitches and some games flash the disconnected triangle icon.
TBH, I have no idea how I got Azire VPN + Open VPN to work. I followed the instructions, but there were 7 config files. I just tried them all until I got a connection. I am using the 'AzireVPN-us(1).ovpn' config file.
I realize that my crap connection has to go from Ohio to Sweden, get scrambled by their server and back to me, so I expected some physical slowdowns. But when the VPN messes with my Rocket League, we're going to have a problem.
I know the simple answer is to turn off the VPN when gaming. Is there a better answer? Are there better OpenVPN config files? Do they need to be customized for each user? Or are VPN's only useful if one has good speedtest performance with bandwidth to spare?
This is possible if you put DD-WRT on the 66U.

Basically, the default software can't do it, but custom can.

And fair enough I thought so, seeing the firmware is modded itself I thought that there might be some way around it
