    ASUS RT-AC86U (Merlin) does not connect to OpenVPN (NordVPN)

    Hi, Apologies for the delay in responding. My RT-AC86U hardly drop about 1 mbps in speed when using VPN on merlin. Here are my configuration screens: Full custom configuration is: remote-cert-tls server remote-random nobind tun-mtu 1500 tun-mtu-extra 32 mssfix 1450 persist-key persist-tun...

    Ifo stability for a new router WRT RT-AC68U or RT-AC87U with Merlin

    As far as I know AC87U has hardware limitations (read an article somewhere). I have recently moved to AC86U and I can tell you that it is one gem of a router. Elegant in style and solid in performance. My primary purpose was to run it as a dedicated VPN router and in my tests it works as good as...

    ASUS RT-AC86U (Merlin) does not connect to OpenVPN (NordVPN)

    Hi, Thanks for the tip. I am planning to compiling a few screenshots and sending them to Nord support so they can refer to it should someone else need help. Their guide is from the older version and a few thing have changed since then. Also they do not list AC86U as their recommended router...

    ASUS RT-AC86U (Merlin) does not connect to OpenVPN (NordVPN)

    Hi, Thanks a lot for all your help guys. I have managed to make it work. I had reverted back to the stock firmware and configured VPN on it. This time, when I upgraded to Merlin, I left the VPN configured on stock and even connected and guess what, after upgrade it still was working fine :) I...

    Thanks. Yes, I did check the certificates and also tried pasting them from the ca and tls files from NordVPN but to no avail. And yes, I also had only the first two boxed filled so good to know that yours is the same. Thanks a lot for your help. I'll surely update you once I have tried your...

    ASUS RT-AC86U (Merlin) does not connect to OpenVPN (NordVPN)

    Thanks a lot Darryl. I'll try this today and will update you. As per NordVPN's tutorial, I was selecting default instead of SHA512 but then Nord support asked me to turn of cypto altogether. I'll try with Outgoing Auth (1) and SHA512 when I get home today.

    ASUS RT-AC86U (Merlin) does not connect to OpenVPN (NordVPN)

    Hi, Thanks for you reply. I have already tried many many different servers but nothing worked. Please note that I am using AC86U (not AC68U). At least about 20 times I have seen the recommended server and tried to change the server to connect to the new one and that too with UDP as well as TCP...

    ASUS RT-AC86U (Merlin) does not connect to OpenVPN (NordVPN)

    Hi, I have recently bought Asus RT-AC86U as I was very impressed with its hardware specs. My main aim is to set this up as a dedicated VPN router (connect to NordVPN using OpenVPN client). I previously had N66U working for this purpose but due to hardware limitation the speed just isn't there...
