The features of x3mRouting include three selective routing methods to choose from:
An alternative approach to automate and easily assign LAN clients to a WAN or OpenVPN Client interface. This method eliminates the need to enter the LAN Client information and IP addresses in the OpenVPN Client Screen. The x3mRouting for LAN Client Method can be used by itself or with one of the two methods below.
Provides the ability to create IPSET lists using shell scripts and selectively route the IPSET lists by entering the IPSET name in a modified OpenVPN Client Screen.
Provides the ability to create and selectively route IPSET lists using shell scripts. If you're the person who likes to flash alpha and beta software releases and perform firmware updates once they become available, then this is the method for you. No modifications to the firmware source code are used in this method.
Detailed descriptions and usage examples of each method are listed in the x3mRouting Methods section below.
- An Asus router with Asuswrt-Merlin firmware installed.
- A USB drive with entware installed. Entware can be installed using amtm - the SNBForum Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu
I used Amazon Prime, BBC, CBS All Access, Hulu, Netflix and Sling streaming media services in developing the project and include them in the usage examples below.
Please beware that Amazon Prime, BBC, Hulu and Netflix block known VPN servers. If you want a VPN provider who can circumvent the VPN blocks, see my blog post Why I use Torguard as my VPN Provider to learn more.
Copy and paste the command below into an SSH session:
/usr/sbin/curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xentrk/x3mRouting/master/x3mRouting" -o "/opt/bin/x3mRouting" && chmod 755 /opt/bin/x3mRouting && x3mRouting
This command will download and install the installation menu x3mRouting to the /opt/bin directory. The installation script is a menu with options to install the three methods described below and options to update or remove the repository. To access the installation menu, type the command x3mRouting.
In the Asuswrt-Merlin firmware, one must type the IP address of each LAN client into the Policy Routing section of the OpenVPN Client screen in order to assign the LAN client to the OpenVPN Client interface. If you have many LAN clients, the process of entering the IP address and other required information can be time consuming - especially after performing a factory reset.
The x3mRouting LAN Client method is an alternative approach to assigning LAN clients to a WAN or OpenVPN Client interface. If you have many LAN clients to assign to the interface, the scripts will eliminate the manual effort involved in typing the DHCP IP address of each LAN client in the Policy Routing section of the OpenVPN Client screen. You can still use the OpenVPN screen to assign LAN clients in addition to the scripts. The two methods can coexist.
x3mRouting_client_config.sh is the first script to run. The script will create the file /jffs/configs/x3mRouting_client_rules which contains a separate line for each LAN client with a static DHCP IP address assignment. Each line contains three fields separated by a space. The first field is a number representing the interface assignment (0=WAN, 1=OVPNC1 to 5=OVPNC5) followed by the LAN client IP address and LAN client description.
By default, the script assigns each LAN client to the OVPNC1 interface. After running the script, edit the /jffs/configs/x3mRouting_client_rules file and assign the interface to each LAN client. Instructions on how to assign the interface to each LAN client are located at the top of the file.

If an existing /jffs/configs/x3mRouting_client_rules file exists, a backup copy of the existing x3mRouting_client_rules file is made by appending the timestamp to the existing file. You only need to run this script if you have made changes to DHCP static assignments or accidently deleted the /jffs/configs/x3mRouting_client_rules file.
x3mRouting_client_nvram.sh is the second script to run. This script will create the nvram files (e.g. /jffs/configs/ovpnc1.nvram) for OpenVPN clients in the /jffs/configs directory based on the interface assignments in /jffs/configs/x3mRouting_client_rules. An nvram file will not be created in the /jffs/configs/ directory for LAN clients assigned to use the WAN interface.
Similar to the firmware, the next step is to bounce the OpenVPN Client interface to have the routing assignments take effect. This is accomplished by selecting the “Apply” button on the OpenVPN Client screen you assigned the LAN client to. Alternatively, you can bounce the WAN interface by selecting the “Apply” button on the WAN screen. Restarting the WAN will also restart any active OpenVPN clients. There is a slight delay before the OpenVPN Client becomes active. Check the OpenVPN Client status using the OpenVPN Status page.
The routing rules for LAN Clients will automatically be applied upon a system boot. You only need to rerun x3mRouting_client_nvram.sh and bounce the OpenVPN client if you have made LAN Client interface assignment changes in the /jffs/configs/x3mRouting_client_rules file.
As part of this project, you can also choose to download and install a modified OpenVPN Client screen to selectively route IPSET lists thru an OpenVPN Client.
@Martineau coded the revisions to the OpenVPN Client screen as a proof of concept on how the Policy Rules section could be modified to incorporate the selective routing of IPSET lists. I greatly appreciate his generosity in providing the modified code and allowing me to include it in the project.
The OpenVPN Client Screen accepts single and multiple dimension IPSET lists. See the IPSET Man Page for information.
A video tutorial on how to allow the use of IPSET lists via the Selective routing VPN Client Policy Routing Screen can be viewed on Vimeo.
In the screen picture above, you will notice an entry for DummyVPN1. For the Selective routing of Ports/MACs and IPSETs, @Martineau recommends creating a “dummy” VPN Client entry if you require the ability to exploit the Accept DNS Configuration=Exclusive option that only creates the appropriate DNSVPN iptable chain if the table isn't empty. Use a valid IPv4 address for the DummyVPN entry that differs from your LAN IPv4 address range. I recommend using a bogon IP addres for this purpose.
By default, all of the scripts will store backup copies of the IPSET lists in the /opt/tmp entware directory. This will allow the IPSET lists to be restored on system boot. If you prefer, you can specify another directory location by passing a directory parameter to the script. Usage examples are provided below.
This script will create an IPSET list called containing all IPv4 address for the Amazon AWS region specified. The source file used by the script is provided by Amazon at https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json. The AMAZON US region is required to route Amazon Prime traffic. You must specify one of the regions below when creating the IPSET list:
- AP - Asia Pacific
- CA - Canada
- CN - China
- EU - European Union
- SA - South America
- US - USA
- GV - USA Government
- GLOBAL - Global
Usage:
sh load_AMAZON_ipset.sh {ipset_name region} [dir='directory'] [del]
Create the IPSET list AMAZON-US for the US region use the /opt/tmp directory for the IPSET save/restore file location:
sh load_AMAZON_ipset.sh AMAZON-US US
Create the IPSET list AMAZON-US for the US region and use the /mnt/sda1/Backups directory rather than Entware's /opt/tmp directory for the IPSET save/restore file location:
sh load_AMAZON_ipset.sh AMAZON-US US dir=/mnt/sda1/Backups
Delete IPSET AMAZON-US (the region parameter is not required when using the delete function):
sh load_AMAZON_ipset.sh AMAZON-US del
This script will create an IPSET list from a file containing IPv4 addresses. For example, I mined the domain names for BBC from dnsmasq and converted the domain names to their respective IPv4 addresses. You must pass the script the IPSET list name. The IPSET list name must match the name of the file containing the IPv4 addresses.
Usage:
sh load_MANUAL_ipset.sh {ipset_name} [del] [dir='directory']
Create IPSET BBC and use the default /opt/tmp directory as the IPSET save/restore location:
sh load_MANUAL_ipset.sh BBC
Create IPSET BBC and use the /mnt/sda1/Backups directory rather than the default /opt/tmp directory for IPSET save/restore location:
sh load_MANUAL_ipset.sh BBC dir=/mnt/sda1/Backups
Delete IPSET BBC:
sh load_MANUAL_ipset.sh BBC del
This script will create an IPSET list using the AS Number. The IPv4 addresses are downloaded from https://ipinfo.io/. https://ipinfo.io/ may require whitelisting if you use an ad-blocker program. You must pass the script the name of the IPSET list followed by the AS Number.
Usage example:
sh load_ASN_ipset.sh {ipset_name ASN} [del] [dir='directory']
Create IPSET NETFLIX and use the default /opt/tmp directory as the IPSET save/restore location:
sh load_ASN_ipset.sh NETFLIX AS2906
Create IPSET NETFLIX and use the /mnt/sda1/Backups directory rather than the default /opt/tmp directory for IPSET save/restore location:
sh load_ASN_ipset.sh NETFLIX AS2906 dir=/mnt/sda1/Backups
Delete IPSET NETFLIX (the AS Number parameter is not required when using the delete function):
sh load_ASN_ipset.sh NETFLIX del
This script will create an IPSET list using the IPSET feature inside of dnsmasq to collect IPv4 addresses. The script will also create a cron job to backup the list every 24 hours to the /opt/tmp directory so the IPSET list can be restored on system boot. Pass the script the name of the IPSET list followed by the domain names separated by a comma.
Usage example:
sh load_DNSMASQ_ipset.sh {ipset_name domains[,...]} ['autoscan'] [del] [dir='directory']
Create IPSET BBC and auto populate IPs for domain 'bbc.co.uk'
sh load_DNSMASQ_ipset.sh BBC bbc.co.uk
Delete IPSET BBC and associated entry in dnsmasq.conf.add:
sh load_DNSMASQ_ipset.sh BBC bbc.co.uk del
Create IPSET BBC and use the /mnt/sda1/Backups directory rather than the default /opt/tmp directory for IPSET save/restore location:
sh load_DNSMASQ_ipset.sh BBC bbc.co.uk dir=/mnt/sda1/Backups
Create IPSET NETFLIX and auto populate IPs for multiple Netflix domains
sh load_DNSMASQ_ipset.sh NETFLIX amazonaws.com,netflix.com,nflxext.com,nflximg.net,nflxso.net,nflxvideo.net
Create IPSET SKY and extract all matching Top-Level domains containing 'sky.com' from '/opt/var/log/dnsmasq.log'
sh load_DNSMASQ_ipset.sh SKY sky.com autoscan
Example:
ipset=/akadns.net/edgekey.net/edgesuite.net/epgsky.com/sky.com/SKY from 'a674.hsar.cdn.sky.com.edgesuite.net/adm.sky.com/assets.sky.com/assets.sky.com-secure.edgekey.net/awk.epgsky.com' etc...
In order to have the IPSET lists restored at boot, execute the scripts from /jffs/scripts/nat-start. Refer to the Wiki for instructions on how to configure nat-start.
Following is an exammple of how to configure /jffs/scripts/nat-start to create the IPSET lists for streaming media traffic at system boot.

There are two options available to choose from so the IPSET lists and routing rules are restored at boot when using the x3mRouting IPSET Shell Script Method
- If you only use Method 3 - x3mRouting IPSET Shell Script Method, you can execute the scripts from /jffs/scripts/nat-start.
Following is an example of how to configure /jffs/scripts/nat-start to create the IPSET lists and define the routing rules for streaming media traffic at system boot.

- If you use Method 1 - x3mRouting for LAN Clients Method combined with Method 3 - x3mRouting IPSET Shell Script Method, don't use the nat-start method. Instead, select Option 4 - Install x3mRouting OpenVPN Event from the installation menu. In the project directory /jffs/scripts/x3mRouting, create a corresponding script called vpnclientX-route-up for each OpenVPN Client used for x3mRouting, where the "X" is the OpenVPN Client number 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Then, add the required entry for each x3mRouting script that requires routing through the OpenVPN Client.
Following is an example of how to configure /jffs/scripts/x3mRouting/vpnclient1-route-up to create the IPSET lists and define the routing rules for streaming media traffic at system boot. This script will get executed whenever the OpenVPN Client 1 route-up state has completed processing.

Open up a desktop browser session and go to the home page for the streaming service. Right click on the page and select the option to view the page source code. In Firefox, the option is View Page Source. Search for the words ".com" and ".net".
-
Use the "Follow the log file" option of Diversion ad blocker to filter the log file view by LAN Client to see what domain names are being looked up.
Use the site https://bgp.he.net to find AS Numbers for streaming services. You can type the name of the streaming service in the search box or an IP address.
Alternatively, you can use the nslookup command to find the IP address of a domain name. Then use the whob command to find the AS Number of the IP address.
# nslookup occ-0-1077-1062.1.nflxso.net

The IPSET shell scripts for Amazon and AS Numbers will download new data when the associated file in the IPSET list save/restore location is older than 7 days. The scripts execute whenever there is an event that causes /jffs/scripts/nat-start to execute.
The install script will add a function to /jffs/configs/profile.add called liststats that will list the name of all IPSET lists and the number of IP address entries. To use the function, type liststats from the SSH command line (Note: For first time users, you must open up a new SSH session after running the installation script). Following is the sample output:
AMAZON - 326
BBC_WEB - 128
CBS - 57
CBS_WEB - 82
HULU_WEB - 8
MOVETV - 95

Beware of duplicate hosts entries when using the DNSMASQ script method to populate an IPSET list. In the example below, the nslookup commmand will only populate the first IPSET list in /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add.
ipset=/pandora.com/PANDORA
ipset=/pandora.com/US_VPN
There was an update made to the firmware in 384.12 that prevents IPSET lists from being populated when doing an nslookup on a domain name.
The router will now use ISP-provided resolvers instead of local dnsmasq when attempting to resolve addresses, for improved reliability. This reproduces how stock firmware behaves. This only affects name resolution done by the router itself, not by the LAN clients. The behavior can still be changed on the Tools -> Other Settings page -> Wan: Use local caching DNS server as system resolver (default: No).
To resolve the issue, the installation script changes the default value to "Yes".
Type the command

I want to acknowledge the following snbforums members who helped make this project possible.
- Martineau has, and continues to be, very generous in sharing his OpenVPN and Selective Routing expertise with me over the past several years. This project was only made possible through his support and collaboration. Through his guidance, I was able to navigate through the maze of of the firmware's vpnrouting.sh script and enhance it to create a much cleaner implementation of my selective routing requirements when compared to the method I had been using previously.
As part of the ongoing collaboration, Martineau had modified a selective routing script I wrote for routing Netflix traffic and enhanced it by enabling the passing of parameters. The enhancements made the script more user friendly by eliminating the need for users to edit scripts to meet their use case requirements. The enhancements have been applied to all of the IPSET scripts.
Martineau also contributed the modified OpenVPN Client screen, the Vimeo video and Chk_Entware function used in the project.

Adamm contributed the Lock File function that prevents the scripts from running concurrently. His method is much cleaner when compared to the previous method I had been using. The code for restoring the IPSET lists using the awk method and the md5sum check function to detect updated code on GitHub were also inspired by Adamm.

For the installation script, Jack Yaz gave me permission to clone the code he used for the update code function (also inspired by Adamm) used on the SpdMerlin project on GitHub.

Gratitude to the thelonelycoder, also known as the Decoderman on GitHub, for his inspiration and ongoing support in my coding journey.
