    Using Merlin router to access public Wi-Fi and create a private Wi-Fi in an RV

    Okay all you geniuses. It's looking like I may need to use an RV as a place to live. And I was wondering if there was a way to set up my ASUS router to access a public Wi-Fi but still create a private Wi-Fi network that's routed. I currently still have a home that I could even VPN into if that...

    Routing packets through a wireguard client

    This might just be an iptables thing, but I can't figure it out. Short version: I'm trying to forward packets from a VPS to the router over wireguard (router is client) and forward them to the correct device on the LAN. I have a setup that I'm trying to carry over from my old DD-WRT router...

    RT-AX86U PRO with OpenVPN has terrible VPN speeds

    I'm using OpenVPN with Merlin 388.2 on my Asus RT-AX86U PRO and only getting 20-50 (on a good day) Mbs. I pay for 300 Mbs and I get that consistently if I use the ISP modem directly with no VPN. When using VPN I connect to servers in North America but am located in Europe. Before buying this...

    Diversion Diversion problems with dnsmasq through VPN interface

    I just upgraded my Diversion version from 4.1.3 to 4.3.3 (I know, quit a leap). Doing so has broken a key part of my network setup: my dnsmasq queries need to be resolved through my vpn interface "tun12" to avoid DNS leaks on my VPN'd network. I can accomplish this via the following lines for...

    AC86U - merlin 386.10 VPN

    I had been running 384.19 on AC86U for a number of years as I had various problems with updates after that build. I took the leap to upgrade to 386.10 yesterday and it would appear the issues I had with previous updates have gone. As the VPN section now has the VPN Director to control device...

    Slow WAN with VPN Director turned on

    Hi all. Tell me, please, what rules should be set in the VPN director so that the speed over the WAN does not drop to the speed of the VPN connection. I only use it to access some ip from all devices. Maybe it's because I'm using wireguard? I read the entire forum, but I did not find such...

    Hi there. I recently obtained an Asus RT-AX1000 Pro and have been trying to configure Wireguard in Merlin with my VPN provider (Mullvad). Coming from an RT-AC88U, I was previously using OVPV, so Wg is new to me. I downloaded a configuration file from my VPN provider successfully, imported it...

    RT-AX88U VPN Streaming

    Hi All, I am trying to set up a vpn client on my router rather than having it on individual clients as I do now. The problem I have is that I have several (legitimate) streaming services, such as Amazon, Netfix, Now, Paramount+, and even iPlayer set up on my TV (Samsung) and most of them fail...
