ended up finding Asuswrt-Merlin
It also has an option to kill all traffic to the machine if the VPN goes down.
why not get a reliable VPN service, like PIA?

@NuttBoxer please say more about how this works.
PIA is rock solid. I've had zero trouble in the 2 years I've used them.
Over the weekend had some time, and finally got sick of not being able to share, so looked into solutions, and ended up finding Asuswrt-Merlin. I like it because it's mainly a performance enhancement of the existing firmware, so changes are minimal. But it does have a few extras like VPN client configuration that allows for routing rules per IP. It also has an option to kill all traffic to the machine if the VPN goes down.
So now my server and laptop are VPN exclusive, while my Blu-ray and smart TV use regular WAN, to avoid being blocked from watching Netflix and Amazon. I can finally resume sticking it to the man!
