ER707-M2 - All Computers Using the OpenVPN Connection - But I only want ONE to use it instead
Hello-
I have successfully created an OpenVPN connection to my NordVPN service. However, I am having some trouble because I only want one of my clients to connect to the VPN and instead all clients are connecting to the VPN when the VPN is activated.
Below is my configuration. I only want IP 192.168.0.150 to use the VPN. Is there something I am doing wrong? Note that the image shows that the VPN is disabled, but I did that on purpose.

Hi @ClockerXP
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
This might conclude as Policy Routing for the VPN. This is not available but has been considered. V5.15.X has scheduled PBR for VPN.

I solved my issue by using 32 instead of 24 in the field after the local network IP address. See attached image. Now only the one client is using the VPN, no others.

OMG ChatGTP is amazing. Through some research, I found the following (I needed to include /32 to specify it is just a single address):
How to Specify a Single IP Address in a Subnet
- IP Address: The specific IP address you want to designate (e.g.,
192.168.0.150
). - Subnet Mask: The subnet mask in CIDR notation (e.g.,
/24
).
When combined, 192.168.0.150/24
specifies the IP address 192.168.0.150
within the /24
subnet, which covers the range 192.168.0.0
to 192.168.0.255
.
Example
To designate just one IP address in a subnet:
- Use
192.168.0.150/32
.
The /32
subnet mask means that all 32 bits of the address are fixed, identifying a single specific host (in this case, 192.168.0.150
) with no additional addresses in the range.
Summary
192.168.0.150/32
specifies the single IP address192.168.0.150
without including any other addresses. The/32
is the way to indicate an exact IP address with no room for any additional hosts.
