Hello I just realized that with OpenVPN I was getting limited speeds. I only had 160 mbps service until today I upgraded to 500 mbps.

If I use my VPN I only get 200 mbps and if I disconnect I am getting 500 mbps.

I am using Torguard as my VPN provided and wanted to install wireguard but wasn't sure how to get started. I have amtm installed but when I run from ssh command line I get an error message.

Following this tutorial - https://www.snbforums.com/threads/experimental-wireguard-for-hnd-platform-4-1-x-kernels.46164/

I can't seem to figure out how to find the path of the file I saved to USB Drive connected to router.

Using Asus RT-AX88U with Merlin 386.3.2

Also wondering why Merlin doesn't have wireguard as an option since it seems like a much faster service.

I have the file copied to a USB drive connected to my router and I connected using ssh. Just not sure how to browse to the file I have on USB. Ii did it before but can't figure it now for the life of me.

Because priorities. I don't have time to work on it, and nobody stepped forward to develop it.

Well Asus did, but it's still in beta on their end.

As you are running Merlin v386.3.2, in lieu of a GUI WireGuard implementation, you could try this script
github.com

wireguard/README.md at main · MartineauUK/wireguard

Manage/Install WireGuard on applicable ASUS routers - MartineauUK/wireguard

I am sorry I wish I had the skill set to help or I certainly would. What if I started a Go Fund Me for you? How much time or funds would be needed to implement WireGuard into Merlin. I can't help develop the tool but I could help make it worth your time or allow you to hire someone who can help.

Seeing my connection frop rom 500+ mbps to under 200 mbps when connected really shows me how outdated OpenVPN is. I heard it is only a single threaded application and that is why it is slow.

Thanks so much do you know if this one works with VPN director I want to make sure that only certain subnets use my VPN connection.

Also once it is installed and I close the ssh session how to I get back to the options? Sorry I wasn't able to figure it out.
I have it installed by not sure how to import the config I downloaded from torguard.

No it doesn't work with the GUI VPN director, you need to set the subnets using the wireguard_manger peer command

e.g. see the peer command help / examples
Code: 
e  = Exit Script [?]

E:Option ==> peer help

    peer help                                                               - This text

Thanks so much for the help I am affraid this might be too complex for me. I will keep looking into it but I still am trying to import the cert that I have downloaded from Torguard and have an USB drive attached to router. lol

If you have downloaded the WireGuard .conf file created by Torguard then you need to use the wireguard_manager import command

Code: 
E:Option ==> import ?

     Available Peer Configs for import:

Torguard.conf
Code: 
import Torguard.conf

If the Torguard .config isn't in '/opt/etc/wireguard.d/' then either copy it there or specify the full pathname for the import command
Code: 
import /pathname_to_directory/Torguard.conf
and the script should create the Torguard 'client' Peer to allow you to start it
Code: 
e  = Exit Script [?]

E:Option ==> start wg11

As usual, you could always try a reboot, then retry starting the Torguard 'client' Peer.

Otherwise if it still fails, issue
Code: 
e  = Exit Script [?]

E:Option ==> ?
Code: 
e  = Exit Script [?]

E:Option ==> diag
and you can obfuscate sensitive info such as your WAN IP (if it is shown) and any Private Key info BEFORE either posting here or PMing me.

FYI It might be prudent to move this/further discussions to the appropriate RMerlin Addons thread

Ok getting closer I can't thank you enough. So I have rebooted and the server started.

I have disconnected my OpenVPN in GUI but when I go to what is my IP.com it still shows my ISP IP.

Use command 'diag sql [ table_name ]' to see the SQL data (might be many lines!)

Valid SQL Database tables: clients fwmark passthru servers traffic
devices ipset policy session

e.g. diag sql traffic will show the traffic stats SQL table

What if I started a Go Fund Me for you?

It`s not a matter of money, it's a matter of spare time. I am the sole developer on this project, my time is already used elsewhere.

Beside, people just need to be patient. Asus has already developed an implementation, but it's still in beta.

Seeing my connection frop rom 500+ mbps to under 200 mbps when connected really shows me how outdated OpenVPN is. I heard it is only a single threaded application and that is why it is slow.

The main reason why it`s slower than Wireguard is because it's a userspace implementation, while Wireguard is in kernel space. OpenVPN is also far more flexible than Wireguard.

However, OpenVPN is compatible with NAT acceleration, while Wireguard is not. That means if you use Wireguard on an Asus router, your router will no longer be able to reach 500 Mbps outside of the tunnel. The Wireguard throughput will be closer to 250-300 Mbps, and the non-VPN traffic will be closer to 400 Mbps.

Thanks so much for the info and your time for all you do on the project. You know a lot more than I do so I am sure you know what is best for Merlin and what should be implemented.

Most of my devices I want to connect to my torguard VPN and the ones I don't I am ok with 400 Mbps and not 500.
It would be nice to go from 185 Mbps to 300 if possible for my devices but I will work on the options that are currently available to me.

Thanks again for you time and replying!
