This is a usually a function of the VPN and the server you are connected to. I use PIA VPN, and they have some servers that just won't do better than 20Mbps.If I am connected via wifi to the VPN router the speed sometimes matches my ISP, and other times I get less than 20mb.
Issue two with your fork V25E8, if I logged on to the router and minimized the window, then forget about it for longer time It never logout due to inactivity even though it is enabled in the Administration>System for 30min. I changed to 20 min then to 15 min , and I still have the same issue.
On V25 you should get the logout message window, but it would let you back in without re-entering your credentials (the nature of basic http authentication, once a browser session is authenticated, it is authenticated forever). I did some 'magic' in V26 beta to address this. There are some 'corner' cases where your are logging on from multiple clients that are addressed in the upcoming final V26 that aren't in the beta.I pulled the plug again and installed V26BA hoping to resolve the inactivity logout issue. Still having same issue. With V26BA, If I logged out manually, that page will freeze. Even after closing all opened windows of the browser "Chrome", reopening brand new window, I cannot get to the login page again even after clearing cache/cookies. Even tried to login to the router another workstation/ipad/iphone it just won't let me in. No errors, it is just blank page. I just enter 192.168.2.1, since this is a secondary router connected via Ethernet to the main one, progress bar shows the web page is trying to load but nothing loads. I have to wait a few minutes then it will let me in.
I use a mix of Chrome on Linux and FireFox on Windows to access the router gui without any problems. If you are having problems, things to check are:
- Try running without any add-ons. Many add-ons are incompatible with the router web server.
- Make sure if you are using a password manager, that the router address is excluded. There are many passwords associated with the router gui, and the managers usually get confused.
- If you are using a Virus protection package that includes 'web' monitoring, make sure the router address is excluded.
