Greetings Redditors,
I stand before you, router in hand, on a quest to elevate my WRT32X into a networking deity. The mission? To implement the sacred rites of OpenWRT or DD-WRT, imbuing my ancient router with powers of VPN wizardry and WiFi transcendence.
For my movie collector, a VPN sanctuary is essential. I seek brethren who’ve ventured into the depths of encryption tunnels and conquered the VPN configuration maze. Help me shield my movie trove from prying eyes, ensuring each byte traverses the web incognito.
But wait, there’s more! My WiFi hungers for more bandwidth, lower latency, and a connection speed that mocks the laws of physics. Enter, ye technical maestros, who’ve fine-tuned the frequencies and maximized throughput. Share your incantations and scripts that will turn my WiFi into a symphony of data efficiency.
Unite, fellow code sorcerers, as we hack our way to networking nirvana. Share your spells, snippets, and wisdom to breathe new life into this WRT32X.
May your packets be optimized, and your latency nonexistent!

It may be easier to find a sorcerer that can turn the leaden WRT32X into enough gold to buy a pfSense firewall, an ethernet switch and a WiFi6e Access Point.
While the WRT32X does look like a capable xxWRT contender, the networking gods will raise the drawbridge on low latency and high throughput while your packets venture into the dark magical VPN world.
VPN routers are pointless, just pay for a VPN service using only In RAM memory. The whole idea of a VPN is two fold, it masks your IP by funneling it through a singular IP that many other people are funneling through, and it adds encryption. Essentially all you’ll be doing with a VPN router is adding encryption but removing the obfuscation of many users from multiple areas coming through your IP.
can I not have one tunnel for slow vpn traffic I dont care about but i just want encrypted and one tunnel unencrypted for regular gaming ?
In general all VPNs are encrypted.
I keep all of my stealth traffic on PCs connected to my VPN VLAN, everyone else goes through my normal WAN. My VPN almost never exceeds 300 Mbps, but its end-point is not my country.
Yes you can do that. It’s called Split-Tunnelling.
Yes this is exactly what im attempting to accomplish with a new firmware install … the stock firmware allows vpn support but it places the whole network on a VPN … therefore im looking into my options thru openwrt or ddwrt
I haven’t used xx-WRT in a while, but it looks like you can create multiple SSIDs and use policy based routing to determine where each SSID is routed: WAN, VPN, etc.
It appears to be done via a package called PBR.
