Can I restrict VPN to a specific device?
Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2018 11:25 am
I apologise if this is a straight forward thing but I have played around with the settings and can't seem to figure it out and am struggling to articulate it well enough on Google to find an answer 
Essentially I have an OpenVPN server set up and working nicely so I can connect to my home network when I am out and about - all working fine thanks to the recent firmware update.
I would now like to add a VPN client service (PIA) onto the router but only so that one device at home (a basic server running a number of dockers) uses it when accessing the internet. I need that device to still be accessible from my home network so be able to connect to it when I connect via the OpenVPN server from outside.
So I think I want to set up PIA as a VPN client but ensure that it is only available to my server on a specific LAN port or Interface Group?
EDIT: Added a word
EDIT: FYI I appear to have found a slight bug with the OpenVPN Client settings. OpenVPN Server Address appears to be restricted to 30 characters so swiss.privateinternetaccess.com has the 'm' truncated
