This service allows you to define rules (policies) for routing traffic via WAN or your L2TP, Openconnect, OpenVPN, PPTP or Wireguard tunnels. Policies can be set based on any combination of local/remote ports, local/remote IPv4 or IPv6 addresses/subnets or domains. This service supersedes the VPN Bypass
available on GitHub/jsDelivr service, by supporting IPv6 and by allowing you to set explicit rules not just for WAN interface (bypassing OpenVPN tunnel), but for L2TP, Openconnect, OpenVPN, PPTP and Wireguard tunnels as well.
192.168.1.70
) or a local subnet (as in 192.168.1.81/29
) or a local device name (as in nexusplayer
). IPv6 addresses are also supported.32400
), a range (5060-5061
), a space-separated list (80 8080
) or a combination of the above (80 8080 5060-5061
). Limited to 15 space-separated entries per policy.66.220.2.74 he.net tunnelbroker.net
).You can also set policies for traffic with specific DSCP tag. On Windows 10, for example, you can mark traffic from specific apps with DSCP tags (instructions for tagging specific app traffic in Windows 10 can be found here).
If the custom user file includes are set, the service will load and execute them after setting up ip tables and ipsets and processing policies. This allows, for example, to add large numbers of domains/IP addresses to ipsets without manually adding all of them to the config file.
Two example custom user-files are provided: /etc/vpn-policy-routing.aws.user
and /etc/vpn-policy-routing.netflix.user
. They are provided to pull the AWS and Netflix IP addresses into the wan
ipset respectively.
dnsmasq
's ipset
support, which requires the dnsmasq-full
package to be installed (see How to install dnsmasq-full). This significantly improves the start up time because dnsmasq
resolves the domain names and adds them to appropriate ipset
in background. Another benefit of using dnsmasq
's ipset
is that it also automatically adds third-level domains to the ipset
: if domain.com
is added to the policy, this policy will affect all *.domain.com
subdomains. This also works for top-level domains as well, a policy targeting the at
for example, will affect all the *.at
domains.uci
commands or by editing /etc/config/vpn-policy-routing

entries which are automatically updated when supported/monitored interface changes.Configuration - Basic Configuration

On start, this service creates routing tables for each supported interface (WAN/WAN6 and VPN tunnels) which are used to route specially marked packets. For the mangle
table's PREROUTING
, FORWARD
, INPUT
and OUTPUT
chains, the service creates corresponding VPR_*
chains to which policies are assigned. Evaluation and marking of packets happen in these VPR_*
chains. If enabled, the service also creates the remote/local ipsets per each supported interface and the corresponding iptables
rule for marking packets matching the ipset
. The service then processes the user-created policies.
Each policy can result in either a new iptables
rule or, if src_ipset
or dest_ipset
are enabled, an ipset
or a dnsmasq
's ipset
entry.

and dest_ipset
is disabled, then only iptables
rules are created. The policy priority is the same as its order as listed in Web UI and /etc/config/vpn-policy-routing
. The higher the policy is in the Web UI and configuration file, the higher its priority is.src_ipset
and dest_ipset
is enabled, then the ipset
entries have the highest priority (irrelevant of their position in the policies list) and the other policies are processed in the same order as they are listed in Web UI and /etc/config/vpn-policy-routing
.ipset
entries for different interfaces, the priority is given to the interface which is listed first in the /etc/config/network
file.DSCP
policies trump all other policies, including the ipset
ones.Please make sure that the requirements are satisfied and install vpn-policy-routing
and luci-app-vpn-policy-routing
from Web UI or connect to your router via ssh and run the following commands:
opkg update
opkg install vpn-policy-routing luci-app-vpn-policy-routing
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/jsDelivr 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
.
This service requires the following packages to be installed on your router: ipset
, resolveip
, ip-full
(or a busybox
built with ip
support), kmod-ipt-ipset
and iptables
.
To satisfy the requirements, connect to your router via ssh and run the following commands:
opkg update; opkg install ipset resolveip ip-full kmod-ipt-ipset iptables
If you want to use dnsmasq
's ipset
support, you will need to install dnsmasq-full
instead of the dnsmasq
. To do that, connect to your router via ssh and run the following command:
opkg update; opkg remove dnsmasq; opkg install dnsmasq-full;
If you are running a development (trunk/snapshot) build of OpenWrt 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 you get errors), please flash either current OpenWrt release image or current development/snapshot image.
As per screenshots above, in the Web UI the vpn-policy-routing
configuration is split into Basic
, Advanced
and WebUI
settings. The full list of configuration parameters of vpn-policy-routing.config
section is:
Web UI Section | Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Basic | enabled | boolean | 0 | Enable/disable the vpn-policy-routing service. |
Basic | verbosity | integer | 2 | Can be set to 0, 1 or 2 to control the console and system log output verbosity of the vpn-policy-routing service. |
Basic | strict_enforcement | boolean | 1 | Enforce policies when their interface is down. See Strict enforcement for more details. |
Basic | dest_ipset | string | none | Enable/disable use of one of the ipset options for compatible remote policies (policies with only a remote hostname and no other fields set). This speeds up service start-up and operation. Currently supported options are none , ipset and dnsmasq.ipset (see Use DNSMASQ ipset for more details). Make sure the requirements are met. |
Basic | src_ipset | boolean | 0 | Enable/disable use of ipset entries for compatible local policies (policies with only a local IP address or MAC address and no other fields set). Using ipset for local IPs/MACs is faster than using iptables rules, however it makes it impossible to enforce policies priority/order. Make sure the requirements are met. |
Basic | ipv6_enabled | boolean | 0 | Enable/disable IPv6 support. |
Advanced | supported_interface | list/string | Allows to specify the space-separated list of interface names (in lower case) to be explicitly supported by the vpn-policy-routing service. Can be useful if your OpenVPN tunnels have dev option other than tun* or tap*. |
|
Advanced | ignored_interface | list/string | Allows to specify the space-separated list of interface names (in lower case) to be ignored by the vpn-policy-routing service. Can be useful if running both VPN server and VPN client on the router. |
|
Advanced | boot_timeout | number | 30 | Allows to specify the time (in seconds) for vpn-policy-routing service to wait for WAN gateway discovery on boot. Can be useful on devices with ADSL modem built in. |
Advanced | iptables_rule_option | append/insert | append | Allows to specify the iptables parameter for rules: -A for append and -I for insert . Append is generally speaking more compatible with other packages/firewall rules. Recommended to change to insert only to enable compatibility with the mwan3 package. |
Advanced | iprule_enabled | boolean | 0 | Add an ip rule , not an iptables entry for policies with just the local address. Use with caution to manipulate policies priorities. |
Advanced | icmp_interface | string | Set the default ICMP protocol interface (interface name in lower case). Use with caution. | |
Advanced | append_src_rules | string | Append local IP Tables rules. Can be used to exclude local IP addresses from destinations for policies with local address set. | |
Advanced | append_dest_rules | string | Append local IP Tables rules. Can be used to exclude remote IP addresses from sources for policies with remote address set. | |
Advanced | wan_tid | integer | 201 | Starting (WAN) Table ID number for tables created by the vpn-policy-routing service. |
Advanced | wan_mark | hexadecimal | 0x010000 | Starting (WAN) fw mark for marks used by the vpn-policy-routing service. High starting mark is used to avoid conflict with SQM/QoS, this can be changed by user. Change with caution together with fw_mask . |
Advanced | fw_mask | hexadecimal | 0xff0000 | FW Mask used by the vpn-policy-routing service. High mask is used to avoid conflict with SQM/QoS, this can be changed by user. Change with caution together with wan_mark . |
Web UI | webui_enable_column | boolean | 0 | Shows Enable checkbox column for policies, allowing to quickly enable/disable specific policy without deleting it. |
Web UI | webui_protocol_column | boolean | 0 | Shows Protocol column for policies, allowing to specify the protocol for iptables rules for policies. |
Web UI | webui_supported_protocol | list | 0 | List of protocols to display in the Protocol column for policies. |
Web UI | webui_chain_column | boolean | 0 | Shows Chain column for policies, allowing to specify PREROUTING (default), FORWARD , INPUT , or OUTPUT chain for iptables rules for policies. |
Web UI | webui_sorting | boolean | 1 | Shows the Up/Down buttons for policies, allowing you to move a policy up or down in the list/priority. |
wan_dscp | integer | Allows use of DSCP-tag based policies for WAN interface. | ||
{interface_name}_dscp | integer | Allows use of DSCP-tag based policies for a VPN interface. |
Default configuration has service disabled (use Web UI to enable/start service or run uci set vpn-policy-routing.config.enabled=1; uci commit vpn-policy-routing;
).
Each policy may have a combination of the options below, the name
and interface
options are required.
The src_addr
, src_port
, dest_addr
and dest_port
options supports parameter negation, for example if you want to exclude remote port 80 from the policy, set dest_port="!80"
(notice lack of space between !
and parameter).
Option | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
name | Policy name, it must be set. | |
enabled | 1 | Enable/disable policy. To display the Enable checkbox column for policies in the WebUI, make sure to select Enabled for Show Enable Column in the Web UI tab. |
interface | Policy interface, it must be set. | |
src_addr | List of space-separated local/source IP addresses, CIDRs, hostnames or mac addresses (colon-separated). You can also specify a local physical device (like a specially created wlan) prepended by an @ symbol. |
|
src_port | List of space-separated local/source ports or port-ranges. | |
dest_addr | List of space-separated remote/target IP addresses, CIDRs or hostnames/domain names. | |
dest_port | List of space-separated remote/target ports or port-ranges. | |
proto | auto | Policy protocol, can be any valid protocol from /etc/protocols for CLI/uci or can be selected from the values set in webui_supported_protocol . To display the Protocol column for policies in the WebUI, make sure to select Enabled for Show Protocol Column in the Web UI tab.Special cases: auto will try to intelligently insert protocol-agnostic policy and fall back to TCP/UDP if the protocol must be selected for specific policy; all will always insert a protocol-agnostic policy (which may fail depending on the policy). |
chain | PREROUTING | Policy chain, can be either PREROUTING , FORWARDING , INPUT or OUTPUT . This setting is case-sensitive. To display the Chain column for policies in the WebUI, make sure to select Enabled for Show Chain Column in the Web UI tab. |
Option | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
path | Path to a custom user file (in a form of shell script), it must be set. | |
enabled | 1 | Enable/disable setting. |

The following policy should route US Netflix traffic via WAN. For capturing international Netflix domain names, you can refer to the getdomainnames.sh-specific instructions on GitHub/jsDelivr and don't forget to adjust them for OpenWrt. This may not work if Netflix changes things. For more reliable US Netflix routing you may want to consider using custom user files.
config policy
option name 'Netflix Domains'
option interface 'wan'
option dest_addr 'amazonaws.com netflix.com nflxext.com nflximg.net nflxso.net nflxvideo.net dvd.netflix.com'

There are multiple guides online on how to configure the OpenVPN client on OpenWrt "the easy way", and they usually result either in a kill-switch configuration or configuration where the OpenVPN tunnel cannot be properly (and separately from WAN) routed, either way, incompatible with the VPN Policy-Based Routing.
Below is the sample OpenVPN client configuration for OpenWrt which is guaranteed to work. If you have already deviated from the instructions below (ie: made any changes to any of the wan
or lan
configurations in either /etc/config/network
or /etc/config/firewall
), you will need to start from scratch with a fresh OpenWrt install.
Relevant part of /etc/config/vpn-policy-routing
:
config vpn-policy-routing 'config'
list supported_interface 'vpnc'
...
The recommended network/firewall settings are below.
Relevant part of /etc/config/network
(DO NOT modify default OpenWrt network settings for neither wan
nor lan
):
config interface 'vpnc'
option proto 'none'
option ifname 'ovpnc0'
Relevant part of /etc/config/firewall
(DO NOT modify default OpenWrt firewall settings for neither wan
nor lan
):
config zone
option name 'vpnc'
option network 'vpnc'
option input 'REJECT'
option forward 'REJECT'
option output 'ACCEPT'
option masq '1'
option mtu_fix '1'
config forwarding
option src 'lan'
option dest 'vpnc'
If you have a Guest Network, add the following to the /etc/config/firewall
:
config forwarding
option src 'guest'
option dest 'vpnc'
Relevant part of /etc/config/openvpn
(configure the rest of the client connection for your specifics by either referring to an existing .ovpn
file or thru the OpenWrt uci settings):
config openvpn 'vpnc'
option enabled '1'
option client '1'
option dev_type 'tun'
option dev 'ovpnc0'
...
If your OpenVPN
interface has the device name different from tun* or tap*, is not up and is not explicitly listed in supported_interface
option, it may not be available in the policies Interface
drop-down within WebUI.
If your default routing is set to the VPN tunnel, then the true WAN interface cannot be discovered using OpenWrt built-in functions, so service will assume your network interface ending with or starting with wan
is the true WAN interface.
The service does NOT support the "killswitch" router mode (where if you stop the VPN tunnel, you have no internet connection). For proper operation, leave all the default OpenWrt network
and firewall
settings for lan
and wan
intact.
When using the dnsmasq.ipset
option, please make sure to flush the DNS cache of the local devices, otherwise domain policies may not work until you do. If you're not sure how to flush the DNS cache (or if the device/OS doesn't offer an option to flush its DNS cache), reboot your local devices when starting to use the service and/or when connecting data-capable device to your WiFi.
When using the policies targeting physical devices, make sure you have the following packages installed: kmod-br-netfilter
, kmod-ipt-physdev
and iptables-mod-physdev
. Also, if your physical device is a part of the bridge, you may have to set net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables
to 1
in your /etc/sysctl.conf
.
If your router is set to use default routing via VPN tunnel and the WAN-targeting policies do not work, you need to stop your VPN tunnel first and ensure that you still have internet connection. If your router is set up to use the default routing via VPN tunnel and when you stop the VPN tunnel you have no internet connection, this package can't help you. You first need to make sure that you do have internet connection when the VPN tunnel is stopped.
If you use multiple OpenVPN clients on your router, the order in which their devices are named (tun0, tun1, etc) is not guaranteed by OpenWrt/LEDE Project. The following settings are recommended in this case.
For /etc/config/network
:
config interface 'vpnclient0'
option proto 'none'
option ifname 'ovpnc0'
config interface 'vpnclient1'
option proto 'none'
option ifname 'ovpnc1'
For /etc/config/openvpn

Service does not alter the default routing. Depending on your VPN tunnel settings (and settings of the VPN server you are connecting to), the default routing might be set to go via WAN or via VPN tunnel. This service affects only routing of the traffic matching the policies. If you want to override default routing, follow the instructions below.
Set the following to the appropriate section of your /etc/config/openvpn
:
For OpenVPN 2.4 and newer client config:
list pull_filter 'ignore "redirect-gateway"'
For OpenVPN 2.3 and older client config:
option route_nopull '1'
For your Wireguard (client) config:
option route_allowed_ips '0'
Set the following to the appropriate section of your .ovpn
file:
For OpenVPN 2.4 and newer client .ovpn
file:
pull-filter ignore "redirect-gateway"
For OpenVPN 2.3 and older client .ovpn
file:
route-nopull "1"
For your Wireguard (client) config:
option route_allowed_ips '0'
Routing Wireguard traffic may require setting net.ipv4.conf.wg0.rp_filter = 2
in /etc/sysctl.conf
. Please refer to issue #41 for more details.
If you want to target traffic using HTTP/3 protocol, you can use the AUTO
as the protocol (the policy will be either protocol-agnostic or TCP/UDP
) or explicitly use UDP
as a protocol.
Some browsers, like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome/Chromium have DNS-over-HTTPS proxy built-in. Their requests to web-sites cannot be affected if the dnsmasq.ipset
is set for the dest_ipset
option. To fix this, you can try either of the following:
Disable the DNS-over-HTTPS support in your browser and use the OpenWrt's net/https-dns-proxy
(README on GitHub/jsDelivr) package with optional https-dns-proxy
WebUI/luci app. You can then continue to use dnsmasq.ipset
setting for the dest_ipset
in VPN Policy Routing.
Continue using DNS-over-HTTPS in your browser (which, by the way, also limits your options for router-level AdBlocking as described in dnsmasq.ipset
option description here of net/simple-adblock
README on GitHub/jsDelivr), you than would either have to disable the dest_ipset
or switch it to ipset
. Please note, you will lose all the benefits of dnsmasq.ipset
option.
Cloudflare has released an app for iOS and Android, which can also be configured to route traffic thru their own VPN tunnel (WARP+).
If you use Cloudlfare's VPN tunnel (WARP+), none of the policies you set up with the VPN Policy Routing will take effect on your mobile device. Disable WARP+ for your home WiFi to keep VPN Policy Routing affecting your mobile device.
If you just use the private DNS queries (WARP), A Word About DNS-over-HTTPS applies. You can also disable WARP for your home WiFi to keep VPN Policy Routing affecting your mobile device.
