how to route specific traffic directly to the WAN bypass VPN

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi,

I have a established a PPTP VPN for all outgoing traffic this is the configuration I used for NAT and Mangle http://www.strongvpn.com/setup_mikrotik_pptp.shtml , but I need some traffic to be routed outside the VPN direcly from the WAN , like sling box and USTVNOW servers because this streaming services work better with out the over head of the VPN. how can I do that? I think I can identify the IP addresses that this servers use to connect, I guess I only need to understand the rules that will apply to bypass the VPN.

thank you very much.

Ivan

First add a mangle rule in the top of your rules like this

/ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting dst-address-list=bypassed action=accept

Then add the ip of the server in the bypassed address list in the address list tab.

Thank you it worked, is there a way I can do it by hostname instead of by IP Address? thank you for your help by the way!.

Is not possible but with script you can use hostname
