The command I was using worked until Nordvpn took down the server I was connected to, the command did work

if [ "$(nvram get wan_proto)" == "pppoe" ]; then
WAN_IF="$(nvram get pppoe_ifname)"
elif [ "$(nvram get wan_proto)" == "pptp" ]; then
WAN_IF="$(nvram get pptp_ifname)"
else
WAN_IF="$(nvram get wan_ifname)"
fi

iptables -I FORWARD -o $WAN_IF -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
iptables -I FORWARD -o $WAN_IF -p tcp -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset


Once I changed Servers, using the above logic would not allow me to connect to any of Nordvpn servers.

I changed the firewall command
iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o vlan2 -j DROP

and was able to connect.

Any ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the built-in kill switch instead of these commands?

See: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=327398

You need the Client setup guide which also has a paragraph about specific settings for NordVPN

I saw the Killswitch option but was unsure if it worked. Possible, if I have the kill switch checked, and also have a firewall command saved it may cause me problems?

That is why it is advised to always test if the killswitch works.

The guide explains how to test
