Is there any way to use one of the connections for internet access without going though Speedify? I have SmoothWAN set up on a Slate with three three connections (two wired, one wireless) that are bonded via Speedify. The issue I am trying to address is that many services such as Netflix block VPN connections. While Speedify does have what they call ‘bypass’ mode, this does not always work. However, on a pc, if I first connect directly though a local internet connection to Netflix and once streaming has started, I switch to speedify, the connection is not blocked. I would like to be able to do the same with SmoothWAN
Yes via PBR or VPN policy based routing, I’ll write a short guide for the next release, the current release is traffic leaky.

Thanks for this. I was able to make this work. My (wired) LG TV can now bypass Speedify and stream Disney. Just wondering: is this still taking advantage of the bonded internet? The incoming interface is ‘lan’ only.
Also I did not know what to put after my device IP eg 172.17.17.100/?? so I put 24 and it seems to work. For my other TV, can I use the same IP 172.17.17.100 and put /32? so I do not need to create a separate bypass route for each device? Thanks
talking to myself here: this doesn’t always work. for some reason, it gets blocked again, then unblocked, then blocked. it’s almost random.
Yes, unfortunately, the current method of bypass doesn’t handle interfaces going down and up, only loss of internet connectivity.
