    Force as Master Browser

    Great and many thanks. I will give it a shot. I have been having recent issues where I cant see my other pcs listed under under Network in windows explorer. I can access them via \\ComputerName, but they are not listed like they used to be. Could be a Windows 10 thing. I have Computer...

    Force as Master Browser

    In Merlin 378.55 on the RT-AC68U: 1) Where would I find the setting to enable/disable: "Force as Master Browser" 2) Where would I be able to change the name of the workgroup name to something other than WORKGROUP

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    Thanks for those tips! On the router pages, I see where MTU settings and disbling ciphering are, but where are rest, eg turning off fragmentation, disabling TCP Max Segment Size?

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    Hmm, Traffic Analyzer-Statistic was already off by default, so I guess it wont help me!

    Change or delete DNS settings (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) in AC68U (Merlin 378.55).

    I agree with sfx2000. Check those. Its actually handy sometimes to be able to use DNS's other than those specified in the router, but if you don't want them, look there to get rid of them, eg:

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    Thanks for doing that ; it would be interesting to see how they compare re OpenVPN client speed. Also, are your settings similar to what was posted above, ie server = us-east.privateinternetaccess.com accept DNS=relaxed encyption=AES-128-CBC ( port set to 1196) compression=adpative tls...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    Confirmed. Correct, again :) I removed the entries still retained my unblocked content. No noticeable difference on OpenVPN router speed.

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    I'm one of the users having issues on the router vs the PIA app. I am getting: -near isp max (about 80 Mbps) on the PIA windows client - (clearly happy) -75% of max (about 60 Mbps) using OpenVPN windows clieint (on a different VPN provider - no need to test it on PIA) -about 30% of max (20-25...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    I tweaked the encryption to AES-128-CBC on port 1196. It helped a bit (not significant), ie 1 or 2 Mbps on some initial testing), but I'll leave it that way for now. Also, now that I have OpenVPN "ON" and restricted for use ONLY by the ROKU, which is working for unblocked content, does that...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    Also, if I am only directing the ROKU through the VPN, cant I just turn encryption OFF to help speed up the performance?

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    Well Calisro, as Spock would say...fascinating.... Here are my 'redirection' results. Redirect PLAN A - Router VPN Client is ON; Only the ROKU routes thru it; destination IP set to 0.0.0.0 content is indeed unblocked and shows region US ( which is exactly what) This option allows my to run...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    When I attempt this, and tell it to route my ROKU thought the VPN (already on) , it asks for a destination IP address. What do I use for that?? And why is it asking

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    I hear what you are saying, but ... - if I redirect roku so that is DOES NOT go though the VPN, I don't think Netflix Us will work for me....as it only seems to unlock with VPN on......but granted I never tried VPN on but not routing through it, so that I get the content and the non-VPN speed...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    But that's the rub..I cannot simply keep the VPN on.....not when its cutting my speed from 90Mbps to around 20Mbps. I want Netflix Us on Roku without having to run to the router. I need Roku to work without OPENVPN on the router...just like I used to have. I then just run PIA Client on my desktops.

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    Thanks for all the help to get me going and out of the ditch, but I think I just ran out of gas. Your settings must be way different than mine (though I didn't think there were that many). I switched to Client 1, best I can ever get is 25Mbps on any server. The PIA Client for windows on the...

    OpenVPN Speed Issue

    What speeds were you getting for OPENVPN on the router before your over clocked?

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    That's encouraging that sometimes you can get up to your ISP max even on the an AC68U router....but are you referring only to a Sabai/VPN accelerator setup??? While I get a close to full 80 Mbps (my isp max) using PIA client on windows, I only get about 18 Mbps on the router - with UDP on...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    Partial success. - I used Clinet 2 (just in case it made a difference) - Again tried to follow the Tomato tutorial. For # 17. (Set Accept DNS configuration to Enabled), my only options are Disabled, Relaxed, Strict and Exclusive. I tried Relaxed. With that, got the connection to work. I...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    Still no joy and have not heard back for PIA yet. I need to sort this out (and a ROKU issue) in 6 days before I cancel. Hopeful they will reply as I do like the part of the service that does work:) I reloaded the opvn file, and cleared out the log.. When I try to turn on Clinet 1 I now see...

    Cant turn OpenVPN Client 1 ( or Client 2)ON

    Thanks for the link. All the settings actually match except for: 1) Connection Retry. I ad -1 ; that tutorial has 30 2) Custom Config has a line items for auth-user-pass /tmp/password.txt, that likely need something else to work System log is no longer complaining about CA but now reporting...
