I agree. Besides this and giving us the ability to run more VPN tunnels, GL.iNet’s latest routers are almost perfect for the vast majority of use cases. ---

Please bring this back! If this task can be safely done via ssh, then it can also be done using the GUI. Thank you very much. ---

Can you or someone else from “staff” provide some kind of update on what’s become of the supposed efforts underway to incorporate a fix for this issue into the GUI? Thank you! ---

@Nick-US any updates here? Also can anyone explain what benefits we got from the 4.9+ logic? ---

Bump, i just upgraded the firmware and now realize, i can not assign devices or specific wifi connevtions to bypass the VPN’s. SSH is not my strength. I have one SSID that needs to not go through VPN I just need an easy way to let specific devices or connections to bypass all VPN tunnels. Please implement!
