 # VPN Bypass

 A simple [procd](https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/procd)-based ```vpnbypass``` service for OpenWrt/LEDE Project. This is useful if your router accesses Internet through a VPN client/tunnel, but you want specific traffic (ports, IP ranges, domains or local IP ranges) to be routed outside of this tunnel.

+If these packages are not found in the official feed/repo for your version of OpenWrt/LEDE Project, you will need to add a custom repo to your router following instructions on [GitHub](https://github.com/stangri/openwrt_packages/blob/master/README.md#on-your-router)/[jsDelivr](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stangri/openwrt_packages/README.md#on-your-router) first.

+These packages have been designed to be backwards compatible with OpenWrt 19.07, OpenWrt 18.06, LEDE Project 17.01 and OpenWrt 15.05. However, on systems older than OpenWrt 18.06.6 and/or a system which has deviated too far (or haven't been updated to keep in-sync) with official OpenWrt release you may get a message about missing ```luci-compat``` dependency, which (and only which) you can safely ignore and force-install the luci app using ```opkg install --force-depends``` command instead of ```opkg install```.
