    What is the most secure configuration for OpenVPN Server?

    Yes this is the direction I went initially, however I got a bit nervous that the Merlin generated certificates were somehow inferior or less secure.

    What is the most secure configuration for OpenVPN Server?

    Sorry I should clarify, I do not live in China, and my home internet connection is outside of China as well. I or family may travel to China now and again, and so I would like to provide a VPN in that case to allow access to blocked resources. I plan to use it to both bypass firewalls, as...

    What is the most secure configuration for OpenVPN Server?

    There seems to be a number of options all of which I find quite difficult to weigh up. Is there a generally optimal secure configuration for OpenVPN Server via Merlin's Firmware? One of the uses I expect to get from OpenVPN is to VPN from mainland China to access blocked resources, possibly...

    N66U: Is there any way to test custom/old firmwares without breaking warranty

    Asus Tech Support have been pretty responsive. Their first response however was pretty useless, asking me questions I told them in my initial request. Their follow up however advised me to test without the ISP TV which I'll try next time the wife is out ;). They also advised I try MAC Cloning...

    N66U: Is there any way to test custom/old firmwares without breaking warranty

    Hi, OK I'll look into DD-WRT, thanks. My ISP is PCCW on the 100Mbit VDSL plan, in Hong Kong, probably one of the most popular internet plans in the country. It's interesting that 374.720 lists the following fix: I can swap out the N66U for my Cisco EA2700 now and experience perfect...

    N66U: Is there any way to test custom/old firmwares without breaking warranty

    Thanks, I'll look into that. Why is DD-WRT advised? Is it just another thing to try or has it helped with PPPoE for others? I read that too, and I tried a few cat5e cables to seemingly no difference. I suppose it's possible they are all bad. None are longer than 1m though. Is there any way...

    N66U: Is there any way to test custom/old firmwares without breaking warranty

    Looks like the 36b1 doesn't really solve the problem, still getting fairly regular disconnects, here's a log of such an occurrence: Jan 4 14:31:32 pppd[643]: LCP terminated by peer Jan 4 14:31:32 pppd[643]: Connect time 53.0 minutes. Jan 4 14:31:32 pppd[643]: Sent 50451259 bytes, received...

    N66U: Is there any way to test custom/old firmwares without breaking warranty

    Thanks, I'll try the downgrade tonight to 4.276. I have a strange feeling it was 4.276 when I first opened it up, but I can't be sure until I get home. It seems that people only really mention the Merlin FW on here. As I understand it there are other solutions too, such as Tomato, should I be...

    N66U: Is there any way to test custom/old firmwares without breaking warranty

    After much reading online, I'm coming to the conclusion that my N66U's inability to maintain a WAN connection is software related. I'd like to test this by using either some custom firmwares, or maybe try some older firmwares. Is there any way to test custom firmwares without breaking warranty...

    Problem w/ Latest Firmwares > .178 (Daily Disconnects from Modem)

    Sorry to necro, but I'm getting the same problems with N66U on 3.0.0.4.374.720 bought 2 days ago. I'm getting disconnects as frequently as every few minutes, up to maybe 2 hours if I'm lucky. I did not have these problems at all with my EA2700 before. I'm in Hong Kong, using 100Mbit...
