Bridging does not permit routing. Explain more your topology.

On the guest network, you can use PBR to specify what traffic should go over the tunnel vs to the upstream router and out the normal WAN. This will only be applicable to the devices connected to the guest network, though (not the other SSID that is associated with the upstream LAN).

Basically existing WAN is just backend for VPN connection connection, then all traffic NAT-s or PBR-s into tunnel.

i dont have any wan connection
as i am using openwrt on my second router, which is only openwrt router at my place.
so wan interface is not present and only available interface is lan.

Your device - router is the bridge and it is not in the position to divert traffic to your specs.

Another access point (software,not device) routed to VPN?
