need to ask a question from someone who can help me

I have been looking into vpn service lately and many offer plans with several servers and countries with vpn kill switch, and dns leak fix. I have also discovered that most want you to just shibly tomato or dd-wrt firmware.

My question is one provider has a router control panel to change wireless network settings as well as the servers on dd-wrt firmware, it is black vpn provider. Can something be done so we can do the same without voiding the warranty. Or is there a program that we can add to our routers.
I ran into this problem with Netgear and it ended with me getting a router from Asus. Rt-AC68W.if it cannot be done then what router should I buy or build to handle the changing vpn landscape.
.
I am curious how you con change your router control panel vpn settings remotely.much advice needed everyone, a response would be nice instead of getting ignored.
Thanks

What do have to do to get a reply from anyone from around here.. anything, any answers, c'mon throw a bone. Did I offend someone? Everyone? Why no reply ... at least tell me what I did so I can make amends. Can you please give me a hint at how they remotely access to the router and change servers please.
 
This is not a chat service where 300 people are standing by to immediately respond when someone posts something.

Your posts were 2 hours apart. Have patience and someone will eventually respond.
 
OK, first your post of your question and then the second post are less than 2 hours apart! This is not an official support forum, and even there I don't think you would get a response in under 2 hours. You need to readjust your expectations.

2nd - your questions is very vague. Merlin's build includes both a VPN server and a VPN client to satisfy your VPN connection needs.

3rd - As far as having a control panel that can alter VPN setting on a device, a VPN connection would have to be already established so that secure changes could be made, after that it is would require programming the application to send the appropriate commands to the device.

I'm not sure about your voiding the warranty question. This is a custom firmware forum....I don't thin the majority of people here are concerned with that.

Your statement about the "Changing VPN landscape" is also rather confusing. I have been doing VPNs for many years....not much has changed and when it has it has been extremely slow.
 
I have also discovered that most want you to just shibly tomato or dd-wrt firmware.

Any service that works with Tomato will work just as well with Asuswrt-Merlin. There are even a few providers that specifically support Asuswrt-Merlin, such as Astrill, Bolehvpn, Hidemyass, AceVPN, etc...
 
apology for my inpatient behavior

First, I would like to apologize for my inpatient behavior. You are all right this is not a support center.

I have been looking for a way that if you have a vpn providers that offers servers in several countries, or several servers per country to have a menu that you can choose from. Right now we can connect to one server per configuration. My remark was directed at the vpn provider who offer several servers per country.

I was curious about software that would allow us the choice of choosing a server remotely. Black vpn provider has something like this but they want you to switch to dd-wrt firmware. I like the Merlin firmware and do not wish to change. I asked my question to see if there was anything similar that could be used with anyone's vpn, and have the security like a kill switch, dns leak fix, and such for safety.
I meant no disrespect and apologize to all again. It has been very unsuccessful trying to find something with features like that and not know what you are looking at.

I have cryptostorm.is vpn provider and I have to reconfigure if I want to switch servers.it would be the same with cyberghost vpn,pia vpn, froot vpn.any help to change this would be extremely appreciated.


Thanks again and I will exercise better patience.
