[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1097173, member: 52014"] You can use a script on the client side that checks if your device is on your home LAN before starting the OpenVPN connection. In the OpenVPN client config file, you can use the "route-up" and "route-pre-down" options to run your script when the VPN starts and stops. This script can check the MAC address of the default gateway, and if it matches your home router, it can stop the VPN connection. This requires some knowledge of bash scripting, but there are many resources online that can help you with this. [/QUOTE]
