Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.1.2 Build 20230313 Rel.41632

Hello

 

The following WireGuard Setup is smoothly running on my TP-Link ER605.

 

[192.168.1.0/24] -> [192.168.1.1] -> [WireGuard Interface/Peer] => [==VPN Tunnel==] => [Internet].

All traffic from my local network is routed thru the tunnel.

 

My aim: I want that only traffic from specific LAN hosts will be routed thru the tunnel.

[192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4] -> [192.168.1.1] -> [WireGuard Interface/Peer] => [==VPN Tunnel==] => [Internet].

[192.168.1.5, 192.168.1.6, 192.168.1.7] -> [192.168.1.1] -> [WAN].

 

I already tried with defining [IP Group, IP Address] and using this with policy based routing. But still the whole subnet is routed thru the tunnel.

How can I achieve this?

 

Thanks.

Hi @nocontrol 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

You should specify what's been put in Allow IPs instead of setting up something else.

The problem with doing something like that with Allowed IPs is that it only identifies networks that are available via the tunnel universally, so all of the allowed IP ranges/subnets will route via the tunnel, what the OP is looking for it seems is a way to tell certain IP addresses or ranges to route via the WireGuard tunnel and others to ignore the tunnel, this is not something that is possible via the Allowed IP option.

  @bsz thanks for the link.

 

yes, seems to be a comparable requirement.

just to mention: all clients of the subnet should reach the internet. just a bunch of them thru the tunnel and the rest over the ordinary wan routiing.

 

glad to hear, that tp-link will implement a possible solution.
