Hello all!
I hope everyone is doing well. I am interested in creating a secure connection to my home network so that I can access it from anywhere. I have the Belking rt3200 and I was able o flash it with the OpenWRT OS and now I am in need of some guidance on how to properly set the secure connection.
Some of the ideas:
I would like to set up Mullvad VPN to run on the router so that it runs on the whole house, but want to have the ability to use certain things without a VPN connection.
I would like to be able to access my home network from anywhere in the world.
Any help is definitely appreciated! Thank you!

Thank you @ncompact ! Will this also help create a secure connection to home network while away?
But if you completely trust:
Mullvad is a VPN service that helps keep your online activity, identity, and location private. Only €5/month - We accept Bitcoin, cash, bank wire, credit card, PayPal, and Swish.
alternatively if you are served from a public ip address, you could create your own vpn server
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label such as 192.0.2.1 that is connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two main functions: network interface identification, and location addressing.
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) defines an IP address as a 32-bit number. However, because of the growth of the Internet and the depletion of available IPv4 addresses, a new version of IP (IPv6), using 128 bits for the IP ...

To add to the excellent advice of @ncompact , you probably want to look into Policy Based Routing:
The old vpn-policy-routing thread grew too big and contains a lot of outdated information, now that pbr is available, so I've decided to start a new thread.
pbr is a next generation service supporting split-tunneling for multiple types of VPN tunnels (Openconnect, OpenVPN, PPTP and Wireguard), allowing you to create policies to use a designated VPN tunnel or WAN as a gateway. More information (requirements, full features list, etc.) on the service is available in the README .
