    QNAP and VPN?

    Haven't been able to test this. I need to have a second WAN connection, a separate router and a separate VPN server to test this. Unfortunately there are no ISPs here in Sweden that allows incoming traffic through a mobile phone / USB modem. This is necessary to be able to establish the VPN...

    rsync performance - 13 MB/s only?

    I got 17 MB / sec syncing from my new 231P2 to my old 219PII over my internal network. I get the same speed syncing with the 219PII moved to my brother-in-law's house over a 250 mbit connection. I haven't checked the CPU usage during this, but have noted that the 219PII hits 100% often which...

    QNAP and VPN?

    Simple! The bottleneck is my NASes CPUs. They reduce the available speed to max 1.5 MB/sec. Over an internet connection of 250 Mbit/sec. The remote NAS (a Qnap 219P2) is always using 100% CPU when backing up via VPN. The local one (a 231 P2) is also very loaded if I use it as a VPN server or...

    QNAP and VPN?

    I believe I have found the solution deep down at the end of a discussion in snbforums. Target solution The setup I want is this: - Local NAS with an IP address within the 192.168.0.0/24 network - Local router with IP address 192.168.0.1 also acting as OpenVPN server - Remote router with IP...

    QNAP and VPN?

    Somehow doesn't work the other way. Found those articles explaining why and what to do: https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/reach-openvpn-clients-directly-from-a-private-network/ https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/troubleshooting-reaching-systems-over-the-vpn-tunnel/ As far as I...

    QNAP and VPN?

    Found it (I believe) :) - at least one direction. From NAS01 on HIS network I can reach internal clients on MY network provided that - The OpenVPN server on MY network has "Manage Client-specific options" = NO - The OpenVPN client on HIS network has "Use default gateway on remote network"...

    QNAP and VPN?

    It's his pride and joy. He also plays it very well!! Something is missing though, something I don't understand. The only way I can access NAS01 today (with the OpenVPN client on NAS01) is by using 10.8.0.2. I can't use his internal IP address (10.0.1.186), I can't use the old one from when it...

    QNAP and VPN?

    Thanks! Agree! I have tried to convince him, I will try more later today...... He agrees that the best way forward is a new AX router. But.... he also needs to convince his wife...... She is sometimes grumbling that they have very bad connectivity particularly in their kitchen so it's not a...

    OpenVPN slow on ASUS Quad-Core CPU

    Which ASUS routers supports AES-NI? I know AX88U and AC-86U does but not the AX58U. I have searched but it is not easily found and I may have missed something. Background: My brother-in-law will eventually get a new router to replace his old Apple router. I have shown him the benefits of Merlin...

    QNAP and VPN?

    Thanks to the suggestion!! Might be, but I doubt it. The bottleneck seems to be that the old NAS01 doesn't have enough CPU power. Ran more careful tests: Confirms (at least to me...) that AES-NI is working on the AX88U. Also that NAS01 is choked with CPU load and that NAS02 is close to being...

    OpenVPN slow on ASUS Quad-Core CPU

    Data transfer speed. OpenVPN client on NAS01 at remote location and OpenVPN server on router AX88U with NAS02 locally: NAS01 is too weak for the OpenVPN client. It is constantly at 100% CPU utilization. It might be better if the remote router could run the VPN client instead. However this...

    OpenVPN slow on ASUS Quad-Core CPU

    NAS01 is my old NAS used for backup purposes. A QNAP TS-219PII. Marvell, 2 cores 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM if I remember correctly. I moved it to his place in order to keep backup data in a separate place. He has 250/250 Mb/s ISP speed. NAS02 is my new NAS. A QNAP TS-231P2. 4 cores ARM 32 bit 1.7 GHz...

    OpenVPN slow on ASUS Quad-Core CPU

    Great very much thanks to all of you for your patience!! Seems to be something fundamental here that I don't get. @RMerlin - Thanks!! Conclusion - no HW failure. What I do currently is: Start an OpenVPN server on my router with port 1194 open. Import the .ovpn file into the OpenVPN client...

    OpenVPN slow on ASUS Quad-Core CPU

    OK thanks.....But.... my AX88U delivers more or less the same speed over OpenVPN as my old AC3200. I probably need something more to be able to convince the dealer to take it back and give me a new one..... Would you consider 10 Mbps as a normal speed with OpenVPN when I get 220-230 Mbps...

    OpenVPN slow on ASUS Quad-Core CPU

    I get 10 Mbps (yes, 10 Mbps) between two NASes when running an OpenVPN server on my AX88U router. The NASes are connected with fiber 250 Mbps both directions. The remote NAS is a client to the OpenVPN server. When opening a port on the remote router and skip the VPN I get 220-230 Mbps. If I...

    QNAP and VPN?

    Maybe YazFi works on the RT-AC3200. However not together with SmartConnect. I got it to work really well after some tweaking.... I am rather disappointed...... Replaced the RT-AC3200 with a RT-AX88U. Set it up as an OpenVPN server and ran another test job across the network. 1.5 GBs was synced...

    QNAP and VPN?

    Got myself an AX88U. Installed latest Merlin FW, reset to factory and configured what I can in advance. Will switch main router early tomorrow morning. The primary reason for this was to be able to run a OpenVPN server, but also to install Yazfi which doesn't work on my current AC3200. Will...

    RT-AX58U - increase in speed even for AC-only client

    Thanks for the comparison between AX58U and AC86U. Great info!! Also the information above in this thread that the AX88U is the (current) recommendation if you need VPN speed as well as AX support. Is there a comparison table between the most popular ASUS models where the differences are shown...

    RT-AX58U - increase in speed even for AC-only client

    Interesting! Just noticed that the AX58U is very well priced here in Sweden right now. New price at a dealer is 1890 SEK (about 194 USD). The same dealer sells the AC86U for 2270 SEK (about 223 USD). What's wrong with the AX58U compared to the AC86U? Why do they sell a newer router to a better...

    Connected client list

    Found something funny a few days ago. I have a RT-AC3200 as main router and a RT-AC87U as an AP. For some reason some of my 2.4 GHz clients connected to the "wrong" device. Just for fun, I went to the "Wireless MAC filter" under "Wireless" on both devices. Added the MAC addresses I didn't want...
