    Hi eibgrad, thanks so much for your reply and info. I was confused about NordVPN supporting Wireguard on routers due to their expiation video here: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1047409322/Setting-up-a-router-with-NordVPN.htm They say to email support to get Wireguard...

    RMerlin what VPN provider would you recommend then? ExpressVPN have their own Lightway protocol which I don't see them allowing it to be open source in the near future. From what I have read Wireguard is even faster than Lightway but I thought NordVPN supported the Wireguard protocol on routers...

    Well, just cancelled my subscription with ExpressVPN today and they are going to refund me. I think NordVPN is where I will go now, they seem to have support for Wireguard which (maybe I am wrong) Merlin looks like they are going to have support for.

    Hi eilgrad, thanks for the reply. Its a real pity this is not a feature of merlin as ExpressVPN have it built into their stock firmware for supported routers. From what I know ExpressVPN is the only one that supports split tunnelling on routers, would I be right with that statement? NordVPN...

    VPN Grouping

    Hi Folks, well just got my Asus RT-AX86U and loaded the Merlin firmware on it. VPN Director is great but I was wondering if it is possible to have VPN groups? I am using ExpressVPN and with their firmware on my old (crappy) Netgear Nighthawk router I was able to put Lan devices into a group and...
