App Feature Request - Select clients for VPN

It would be really nice if could have control over the VPN functions from the mobile app. Currently I have to enable policy based routing via the main web interface and also I need to add clients to the Mac list when I want to route them.

We should be able to do this via the app. Not being able to select clients to use or not use the VPN seems like a missed opportunity.

Hi,

Some router models have been upgraded to v4.8, and VPN features have become more complicated.

Currently control and configure the VPN clients (devices) through the APP may display incomplete or inconsistent page layout.

In the future PM may consider reconstructing the APP and continuing to add and improve the VPN client functions on the APP.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Why would the web GUI layout have any bearing on the app? The app displays features in a complete different layout to the current gui anyway so I can't see how that's relatable?

When we click on clients we have an option to block them and edit their information, name, device type, reserve IP. Surely a simple toggle button "Use VPN" would be sufficient and possible without much integration.

The "Use VPN" toggle would then just use the upstream rules that were made in the web GUI. More complex stuff could be incorporated later but for now, a quick way to control clients going via the VPN Inside the App would really help, since we have the ability to setup OpenVPN, Wireguard, change VPN locations all via the app it's just a bit odd that theres no way to actually get any clients to go via it all from within the app..

Oh right, if the APP implements the client management function in VPN client, it is necessary to design to add some pages.

I will college this requirement to PM team for evaluation.
I think in addition to the APP that needs to be designed, and GL firmware also needs to provide corresponding APIs for the APP to process these data.

Thank you for your love and kindly suggestion.
