    Thanks that is great news to hear, I really do need a web gui and simplicity ie click and work since I am new to networking ins and outs. What was the reason you had to install a nightly restart script ?

    Which VPN providers offer Asuswrt-Merlin applet?

    I recently done some digging around on VPNs and seems no one has bothered to really support Asus merlin, the best and only provider is Astrill vpn. Am still new to my Ac86, but it does sport 1.8ghz dual core and AES, and AES I believe is the key to getting good speeds while under vpn providers...

    OpenVPN performance of the RT-AC86U

    thanks always good to know about these issues before jumping on board, cheapest ax88u I can see is still around £255 so almost 2x the normal cost, double the ram so maybe that has helped a bit with the stability.

I wonder if the...

    OpenVPN performance of the RT-AC86U

    Thank you very much, had no idea the AC86u would give me the ability to have so many options, I prefer the VPN client on the router since I have multiple devices that could benefit from being under a VPN.

    OpenVPN performance of the RT-AC86U

    I have a query about policy rules on an openvpn connection say nordvpn or any vpn provider on the AC86u, if I used policy rules and set my satellite box to use WAN instead of openvpn or nordvpn will it use the ISP DNS ? Or is there a way to set this manually. I have not bought the AC86u but...
