A simple [procd](https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/procd)-based ```vpnbypass``` service for OpenWrt/LEDE Project. This is useful if your router accesses Internet through a VPN client/tunnel, but you want specific traffic (ports, IP ranges, domains or local IP ranges) to be routed outside of this tunnel.
- Define local ports so traffic to them is routed outside of the VPN tunnel (by default it routes Plex Media Server traffic (port 32400) outside of the VPN tunnel).
- Define IPs/subnets in local networks so their traffic is routed outside the VPN tunnel (by default it routes traffic from 192.168.1.81-192.168.1.87 outside the VPN tunnel).
- Define remote IP ranges that are accessed outside the VPN tunnel (by default, LogmeIn Hamachi traffic (25.0.0.0/8) is routed outside the VPN tunnel).
- Creates list of domain names which should be accessed outside the VPN tunnel (useful for Netflix, Hulu, etc).
- Does not reside in RAM -- creates `iptables` rules which are automatically updated on WAN up/down events.
- A companion package (`luci-app-vpnbypass`) is provided so all features may be configured from the Web UI.
This service requires the following packages to be installed on your router: ```ipset``` and ```iptables```. Additionally, if you want to use the Domain Bypass feature, you need to install ```dnsmasq-full``` (```dnsmasq-full``` requires you uninstall ```dnsmasq``` first).
To fully satisfy the requirements for both IP/Port VPN Bypass and Domain Bypass features connect via ssh to your router and run the following commands:
If you are running a development (trunk/snapshot) build of OpenWrt/LEDE Project on your router and your build is outdated (meaning that packages of the same revision/commit hash are no longer available and when you try to satisfy the [requirements](#requirements) you get errors), please flash either current LEDE release image or current development/snapshot image.
If you get an ```Unknown package 'vpnbypass'``` error, your router is not set up with the access to a repository containing these packages and you need to add the custom repository to your router first.
Please ensure that the [requirements](#requirements) are satisfied and install ```vpnbypass``` and ```luci-app-vpnbypass``` from the Web UI or connect to your router via ssh and run the following commands:
If these packages are not found in the official feed/repo for your version of OpenWrt/LEDE Project, you will need to add a custom repo to your router following instructions on [GitHub](https://github.com/stangri/openwrt_packages/blob/master/README.md#on-your-router)/[jsDelivr](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stangri/openwrt_packages/README.md#on-your-router) first.
These packages have been designed to be backwards compatible with OpenWrt 19.07, OpenWrt 18.06, LEDE Project 17.01 and OpenWrt 15.05. However, on systems older than OpenWrt 18.06.6 and/or a system which has deviated too far (or haven't been updated to keep in-sync) with official OpenWrt release you may get a message about missing ```luci-compat``` dependency, which (and only which) you can safely ignore and force-install the luci app using ```opkg install --force-depends``` command instead of ```opkg install```.
The default configuration ships with the service disabled, use the Web UI to enable/start the service or run ```uci set vpnbypass.config.enabled=1; uci commit vpnbypass;```. It routes Plex Media Server traffic (port 32400) and LogmeIn Hamachi traffic (25.0.0.0/8) outside of the VPN tunnel. Internet traffic from local IPs `192.168.1.81-192.168.1.87` is also routed outside the VPN tunnel. You can safely delete these example rules if they do not apply to you.
Domain lists should be in the following format/syntax: ```/domain1.com/domain2.com/vpnbypass```. Please do not forget the leading ```/``` and trailing ```/vpnbypass```. There is no validation if you enter something incorrectly -- it simply will not work. Please see [Notes/Known Issues](#notesknown-issues) if you wish to edit this setting manually, without using the Web UI.
1. Domains to be accessed outside of VPN tunnel are handled by dnsmasq and thus are not defined in ```/etc/config/vpnpass```, but rather in ```/etc/config/dhcp```. To add/delete/edit domains you can use VPN Bypass Web UI or you can edit ```/etc/config/dhcp``` manually or run the following commands:
