Problem

When using Speedify to avoid Starlink outages, the approach is effective except for certain sites, particularly TV streamers. These sites dislike the Internet Service Provider (ISP) or ISPs that the Speedify VPN transits. Consequently, these streamers and other sites, such as Etsy, block traffic that originates from the Speedify source address.

Solution

To address this issue, create a separate VLAN and corresponding Wi-Fi network that specifically utilizes the Starlink gateway, bypassing Speedify. TVs can connect to this dedicated Wi-Fi network to avoid Speedify blocks, and other devices can switch to this network as needed to circumvent the blocks.

Architecture

Router:

SmoothWAN (OpenWRT) is running on a dedicated Single Board Computer (SBC) with multiple GigE Ethernet ports and an onboard cellular modem.

ISPs:
