Hello,

I am connected to SurfShark VPN with Wireguard, All working great!

Router: Netgear Nighthawk XR700

I am using DD-WRT v3.0-r61981 (29/7/25)

I would like to have one computer (192.168.1.10 set static) bypass the VPN completely.

I am guessing that is done by the Source Routing PBR = Route Selected Sources via WAN

Source for PBR = 192.168.1.10/32

But it does not work.

I have had a read of EGC’s very helpful guides but did not see anything like it.

Thanking EGC in advance.

A little help please ?

That should work, see picture for the settings.

If it does not work then specify what does not work, no internet, still routed via the VPN etc.?

Check if the static IP address is correct and check if you do not have your own kill switch implemented.

Otherwise show output of
picture of Basic Setup page (whole page) and WireGuard settings page (whole page)

From command line:
ip route show
ip route show table all
iptables -vnL
arp -a

I am so Sorry egc...

I almost fear to tell you !




I forgot to restart my PC afterwards

All is working as expected now!

I am sorry for wasting your time, and deserve no doubt to have the "P" taken by the bigger boys

Great to hear it is working

@egc
I wonder whether I can post my question for you here about openwrt instead of ddwrt.

Previously, I have setuped WireGuard Server 10.0.0.1/24 on single wrt1900acs(v1) 192.168.1.1 on DDWRT (before March 2025) successfully, Yes, all WG client can use only 192.168.1.1 (Not add 8.8.8.8 or others) as dns server via WG VPN. Indeed all works.

But after my bricked action, I cannot come back to DDWRT, only openwrt works, I have also read your latest version three pdfs marked 27 July 2025 (OpenWRT Policy Based Routing (PBR).pdf, OpenWRT WireGuard Client Setup guide using LuCi.pdf OpenWRT WireGuard Server Setup guide using LuCi.pdf)

For setting up a WireGuard server on OpenWRT ask at the OpenWRT forum

But for starters see: OpenWRT WireGuard Server Setup Guide
