I'm running DD-WRT v3.0-r37305 std (10/10/18) on my Linksys WRT AC3200, and I've setup OpenVPN on my router. When not using PBR (i.e. leaving the PBR field under OpenVPN blank), all traffic runs through the VPN, and it works at a good speed. Once I use PBR though, any traffic that I route through the VPN is so slow, it's essentially unusable. Any traffic not run the VPN runs normally.
Does anyone know anything that could cause this? Any ideas on how to fix it? Let me know if there's any information I should post to help figure this out.
I disabled it earlier and it didn't help, and I'm pretty sure I even rebooted at some point after that to no avail, but after rebooting again on a whim, it seems to be working. Thank you for the help.
