I’m using mikrotik on which there’s RouterOS v6.43.2. This was set up in a way where when you’re connected to the VPN all the traffic goes through it (YouTube, Spotify, etc..) which significantly slows down the speed of the VPN itself. My question here is if it’s possible to pass only the traffic that’s in our network over the VPN and the rest of it use the standard connection.
I’m not sure if the question is posted in the proper subforum, if not please move it. Please keep in mind that I’m in no way network expert, I just know my way around for stuff
Maybe someone could clarify this, but if I am not mistaken IPSEC is policy-based while OpenVPN is routing-based (has it’s own interface and internal IP).
I think you should start by looking into “/ip route” or OpenVPN routing settings. I never set up or used OpenVPN on Mikrotik routers, so I can’t comment much.
Indeed you can’t customize openvpn server implementation in mikrotik to disable redirect-gateway even push-route is not available, if you have spare vm or physical machine to throw behind ROS that would be the workaround for your issue then do a port-fowarding in ROS to DNAT traffic on that VM. I know it’s pain
