Just to be clear about this. When I wrote this script, I thought it was a neat concept. It kind of works, but I later found out that it has many problems:
I thus recommend moving to a different approach:
Split tunneling is essentially on-device decision-making for how to route the packet, based on the destination IP address. (In case of the VLAN/wireless network, that device is the router)
There are pretty good lists of IP addresses (IP subnets, really) out there on the Internet that allow you to route packets based on service you're trying to connect to and/or the country the destination IP belongs to.
Many clients, like v2rayNG, allow extremely flexible configuration of routing rules and automatic updates of IP address lists.
The end result is that the system is more reliable and configurable.
