You will want to have the VPN connection (ie the DD-WRT router) between your (ASUS) router and the virgin hub (presumably acting as the modem).

Your version of the internet looks better than IRL internet.

Why the two routers? Can you not just run everything through the DD-WRT unit or is it not capable of that?

So, I have an 'encrypt all the things' question. It may be a specialist one :)
I am trying to configure a DD-WRT router to connect to the internet via PIA over OpenVPN, and then I want to use that connection to provide VPN-routed Wi-Fi, and also for VPN-routed access to LAN devices.
So far, I have just about managed to set up the VPN connection, and last night I got a Virtual Access Point (VAP) running, so I could connect to my DD-WRT access point then straight to the internet over the PIA VPN connection. I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing, and I might struggle to do it again, but it seems to work.
There are now two more things I would like to be able to do:
1) Access the devices on my LAN (e.g. my home server) from my laptop when I am connected to the secure VAP. I can't do that at the moment, and I guess that is because I get routed straight into the VPN.
2) Set up a LAN device (e.g. my home server) so that it can be routed through the VPN connection. I assume that will require some clever network configuration but I don't really know what I'm doing.
If someone can point me in the right direction, or say some things that are probably about right, I can do some googling to try to understand them (which will take a while). I have attached a picture that might help explain a bit about my set-up.
