It is useful to have an SSID for normally routed traffic and a separate one to connect to for VPN users. With OpenWrt, sometimes there are guides to all the different pieces, but not exactly put together in the way you want. This post does a great job of leveraging existing guides and knitting them all together for the desired solution.
A detailed guide is posted. One of the key steps is the uci set network.wgserver.route_allowed_ips=”1″ change it to uci set network.wgserver.route_allowed_ips=”0″
