    ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Wireless-AC5300 Tri-Band Gaming Router Reviewed

    Latency has nothing to do with hardware but the speed to remote VPN server is affected by both the latency & hardware (& encryption). Example: RT-AC68U on 130ms can get 50Mbps but R9000 can easily max 100Mbps, while the same AC68U on 6ms latency can reach 110Mbps. I mention this because saw...

    ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Wireless-AC5300 Tri-Band Gaming Router Reviewed

    For me VPN achievements or speedtests are really irrelevant unless someone post the latency to the VPN server as well. From my fiber at home of 200/45 I can get 111/45 via VPN if the latency to the VPN server is 6ms (usually meaning same country vpn) & lower further away, on RT-AC68U using...

    OpenVPN Server settings, Connection very slow

    Once I have more time I will take a closer look. For the time being with slightly lower latency of 157ms, I was able to get 39 down /20 (max) up Mbps via Tunneblick (Mac) connected via OpenVPN to RT-AC68U. These are very good results for "home" setup in my opinion as well as the latency /...

    Astrill and Merlin

    Yes, how otherwise would you like to install Astrill applet on Asus router? Unless you use DD-WRT or Tomato... So you need Merlin FW & install Astrill applet via telnet/ssh. In my experience, RouterPro (if you have this Astrill's add-on) is twice faster than using default OpenVPN config on the...

    OpenVPN Server settings, Connection very slow

    Both are running MerlinWRT 380.65_4 so OpenVPN 2.4.x Desktop (Tunneblick) client speeds (30 down /20 up) are satisfying considering "home OpenVPN setup" and 165ms latency, I just wonder whether: 1. RT-AC88U as a OpenVPN server would be twice as efficient 2. Why is the RT-AC56U OpenVPN client...

    Astrill and Merlin

    Check with Astrill support. Perhaps your ISP is blocking their servers if you are in contry with high censorship policy?

    OpenVPN Server settings, Connection very slow

    Very interesting. I have RT-AC68U OpenVPN server established at home on fiber-optic connection 200/45 on MerlinWRT 380.65_4. Settings are pretty much basic with responding to DNS, redirecting internet traffic enabled. Encryption AES-128-CBC, compression LZO Adaptive. With the latest Tunneblick...

    VPN services recommendations

    It's good but nothing special. Probably it's the only VPN that has its own infrastructure and its IP are identified as residential instead of commercial. Commercial VPN servers are often blocked by some websites or captcha is required. Also it's the only VPN provider I know that allows you to...

    RT-AC87U: meaning of enable vpn + dhcp connection parameter

    Why is it "yes" by default?

    [GUIDE] PPTP selective routing / split tunnel

    Any plans for Merlin FW to implement policy based routing similarly to OpenVPN?

    Is this a bug on Asus firmware? WAN disconnections

    I am using in dual-WAN failover mode. My WAN dhcp lease expires every 5 mins... (4G via Dovado bridged), so I have also been suspecting the short renewal time for WAN DHCP drops.

    The rmerlin donation thread.

    I am surprised. They are one of the biggest if not the biggest Paypal competitor. Skrill was previously known as Moneybookers and rebranded to Skrill. It was later bought by Neteller, so essentially they are the same under different brands (same fees).. It is very easy to open account and you...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.64_2 is now available

    I checked my dual-WAN in load balancing mode and everything works properly. Try to set fixed DNS servers for both WANs and see if that helps.

    Is this a bug on Asus firmware? WAN disconnections

    I had a single WAN drop in 9 last days (since flashing 380.64 over 380.62), which is great. Again, too early to say if something was fixed or changed that was causing this WAN dropping before, but will continue to monitor this.

    [Question] Access point and VPN

    There should not be any speed decrease when running in AP (wired cable) mode, there would be in a repeater (WiFi) mode.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.64_2 is now available

    Dual-WAN in a failover mode or load balancing? What exactly does not work? I am running dual-WAN in failover mode and it seems to be working.

    [Question] Access point and VPN

    This is something that Merlin doesn't support (yet) but if you would like to use Astrill, they have excellent applet which works with Merlin FW. You could setup WiFi (2.4 or/& 5Ghz) to run via VPN on their applet, this way if the clients want be routed via VPN, all they have to do is to switch...

    [Question] Access point and VPN

    Why to no run VPN on AC88U and use selective VPN routing if required for certain devices only? Also the CPU is much more powerful on AC88U which will benefit VPN performance. Then use N66U in AP mode.
