    [Beta 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.3 Beta is now available

    This is why I think I am favouring the R7800. I believe it is more open source anyway as it is fully supported by openwrt/lede and the ac86 doesnt seem to be supported at all by it. I like the interface on my AC68u and use Merlin firmware on that so the AC86 was the logical upgrade but I don't...

    Considering R7800, coming from Merlin AC68U

    I have an AC68U which I have no problem with. I run Merlin firmware on it which I like because I can quickly and easily send specific devices over my VPN while leaving the rest outside it. But I am itching to try wireguard and can't get it on the AC68. LEDE only partially supports it, I don't...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    Ok maybe not possible, I can always just modify my windows hosts file to get the same effect on the pc I expect. I like this ab-solution, works well and even updates itself. The only way it could be any better is if it could be built into the gui and controlled from there :P

    connect 2 vpn at the same time?

    Cool thanks, I think I have managed to get it all working now :D Main reason for this is I want to have one vpn connected to a US server that can unblock US netflix, and one connected to a local UK server for general use. Then I can just redirect certain devices to each vpn depending on...

    connect 2 vpn at the same time?

    I have an Asus AC68U with 380.67 (380.68 caused huge interface lag for me). I have 3 openvpn clients set up but can never connect more than one at a time. The errors I get if one is already connected are always that it cannot resolve the host of the server I am trying to connect to. I am...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    Hmm but the router is normally acting as the dns server isnt it? on a normal connection the windows machine connects to the router and the router handles wan connectivity and the dns servers. The only difference when connected to a vpn client in windows is that it specifies its own dns server...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    Ok thanks, that probably explains it, almost all of the ads I am testing on seem to be server side scripting or javascript, but turning Adblock back on in chrome closes these gaps up. I have a vpn set up on the router with certain local ip's routed through it and was expecting it not to work...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    Hi, New to ab-solution and pixelserve, only discovered I could do this on my AC68U a couple of hours ago when I spotted it on here while looking for something else. I have installed both ab-solution and pixelserv ok, router check shows everything green, and ads are apparently being blocked...

    Synology RT2600ac or Asus AC-5300?

    I currently have an AC68u running Merlin, which is pretty good. But the wireless performance on it struggles in my house in some rooms, and the processor is nowhere near fast enough for me to get the full 100mb via the VPN that I get when using the vpn outside the router, I get 25mb at best...

    very slow openvpn

    Yeah perhaps, but processing power continues to go up, add some multi-threading to it and 100mbps AES-256 isn't that far off. Perhaps hardware-based crypto processing will start making it to consumer products soon, VPN's seem to be getting ever more popular. I will just have stick to the...

    very slow openvpn

    goddamn didn't know they were so cpu intensive. About time openvpn was multi-threaded by now isn't it :eek:

    very slow openvpn

    Can't remove it, when it is removed i cannot connect to anything. I guess the vpn provider (IVPN) requires it turned on. There are 2 options for removing the compression in Merlin, "None" and "Disabled". No idea what the difference is, surely off is off! Either way neither work. I can use...

    very slow openvpn

    Compression is set to LZO adaptive. Using openvpn client in Merlin, UDP and AES-256-CBC Can't believe the best it can do is around 30mbps, when the cpu isnt even hitting 50% as well. From what I have read it seems right, it just can't go any faster without overclocking it! I'm pretty...

    very slow openvpn

    I thought I had the speed when using Tomato but I might be wrong, I was having trouble getting it to connect so can't be sure. It's an AC68u. I checked the CPU load and during the test cpu 1 only gets to 12% and cpu2 only gets to 45% so it doesnt look like it is cpu related.

    very slow openvpn

    Just tried Merlin for the first time and have an issue with the openvpn performance. I have managed to get it connected and working, but speed tests show my downstream stopping at 32mbps on my 100mbps connection. Tested several times, same result every time. On tomato my speed was virtually...
