Enabling VPN for Specific Devices

Hi. I thinking of buying this router. Question about VPN (I have a Private Internet Access account for VPN).

Is it possible to set up a VPN on this router so that I can specify which devices use the VPN and which don’t?

I’ve previously tried on another router and it protected the whole network but slowed down my son’s gaming too much, so had to turn it off.

I am on Virgin Media with 220mb download speed on cable broadband.

Thanks

    The router is VPN passthrough only. It has its own VPN which OpenVPN. For other VPN servers, configuration should be done on the computer or clients.
