Model: ER605 (TL-R605)   ER707-M2  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I'm trying to set up a VPN connection to ProtonVPN for use on specific subnets or VLANs. I couldn’t get WireGuard to work, but I was able to successfully connect using OpenVPN.

The problem I’m running into is with assigning the VPN to specific VLANs. I have:

  • VLAN 20 for all wired devices

  • VLAN 30 for all wireless devices

The wired devices on VLAN 20 are correctly routing through the ProtonVPN connection and are receiving VPN-assigned IPs. However, the wireless devices on VLAN 30 are still using the default WAN connection instead of the VPN.

I’ve tested this on two different routers: ER707-M2 v1.0 and ER605 v2.0, and I get the same issue on both.

My end goal is to have selected subnets, like VLAN 20 and VLAN 30, always route through the ProtonVPN connection for security. Is there a configuration change I’m missing to get this working for wireless devices on VLAN 30?

We do not have a support or compatibility list for the third-party VPN providers. And cannot guarantee that it will work with every third-party VPN provider on the market. 

So, you can try out the Proton VPN with the current VPN guides. If that does not work, it might be a problem with the compatibility.

In addition, what you need is Policy Routing for the VPN tunnel. This feature has not been implemented yet. 

 

The forum team does not provide information in reply about the development progress or details. 
Neither do we provide the estimated time for this feature, nor details and explanations for the roadmap. 

As this is an ongoing request and was previously replied to, your request is already known to the dev team.
Please refer to the final firmware release notes for this feature. 
Thanks for your understanding.

I forgot to add the wireless Vlan to the new SSID i created. That fixed my issue. How ever does anyone have a Guide to get this to work with Wireguard?
