I have VPN setup in my dd-wrt router so all network traffic in that router is going through the VPN. Some websites (ex. some of the banks) don't allow visiting their site through VPN.

Is there anyway to allow a select number of domains to bypass the VPN?

Thanks

There are a couple methods outlined in this excellent post from @egc.

Simple script for Policy Based OpenVPN Routing [WORKING]

You can simply define static routes in the OpenVPN client for those domains.

Well not loading is a different issue then which route is used, WAN vs. VPN.

Do you perhaps have a kill switch that's blocking the WAN?

The only thing those route directives in Additional Config do is create static routes that point to the WAN as the gateway to those domains. Once the OpenVPN client is active, you should be able to see those routes in the routing table. Go to a shell (telnet/ssh) and issue the following command.

I'm not using any 'policy based routing'. Does it matter whether I put the line of code on top of the 'Additional Config' section or bottom? The VPN required me to put the following code in there already

[eibgrad]

Doesn't matter.

Although frankly, you shouldn't need any of those other directives. Either the router is already using them, or they're irrelevant, or in the worst case, because adding directives which the router is already using acts as an override, you can sometimes break things.

What I tell users is to resist the temptation to add things to Additional Config and just see if the VPN works without it. If it does, then anything the VPN provider is suggesting be added is little more than a tweak. And in some cases, an irrelevant tweak (e.g., remote-random is meaningless unless you're specifying multiple remote directives).
