    Yeah, I’ve seen that one, but I’m looking for something at the router level or something I can run on linux and just have everything run through. I have CLI-based options that are super janky… I’m probably just being too picky.

      I think it needs to be on the client app (web browser) before it gets sent thru the VPN. Your router won’t be able to read the http header to see what the URL is (to decide which VPN to use).

        I know it’s doable in general because I’ve done it in an enterprise environment, just seems to be a real pain in the ass at the consumer level which is not surprising, it’s a weird use case.

        Where I work we have a system that kind of combines a proxy and a solution that approximates the same functionality as a VPN, and it’s all in one cohesive package. I know my first stop will have to be some sort of proxy, but my ideal is basically just a friendlier UI to manage it and for whatever proxy or proxy-like solution to include tunneling options out of the box.

        It’s a complicated ask, but I feel like it’s becoming more useful. Supposedly, Squid can do it with a few extra pieces and that might end up being the solution.
