Thank you for replying, my AC86U doesn't have that option available?
@RMerlin should i upgrade to the custom firmware and try that ?

That option does not exist on the RT-AC86U.

Hi buddy

Any ideas on what's going on ? have i missed a simple trick somehwere?
new router > quick setup > google DNS added > vpn server added> fast download > slow upload.
ipvanish is fast via PC for same server.

router is fast upload when VPN disabled?

Just as a test i setup a L2TP and it's working perfectly for both speeds on download and upload. In terms of trying to resolve this, should i bother or just use L2TP ? is it as safe as OpenVPN?

You're right. Sorry it was my mistakes, i have booth Router and AC86 doesn't have it. OpenVPN is safer then L2TP. Google DNS? Are you crazy? [emoji16] It doesn't help, when you use an OpenVPN Service to hide your data and give Google your visited Websites [emoji6]

I tried to use the IPVanish public DNS settings but they didn't work ? so used Google DNS ones as some others had said, is this bad

Why to use an alternative DNS? Use your default without any entry. I think IPvanish support to forward your DNS by it self.

When it's left to automatic it doesn't work for me, hence i did some digging and people said i needed to specify my own DNS server and others had used Google , my networking is very limited but i can confirm without something in the DNS box, nothing works.

Its very Dangerous to use DNS from Google. You can Post all your visited Websites by Facebook, its the same [emoji16]
You can save your money for IPvanish. With your DNS settings, its the same like without OpenVPN. Maybe something is wrong with you DNS forwarding. Tried to set to exklusive?

Hi guys, i also have an AC 86U, connected to the VPN superb download upload should be 20mb getting 0.34, clearly something wrong , same server from PC is working perfectly ? any ideas

I was getting the same terrible upload speeds on PIA. I contacted their support and they gave me new custom config commands that fixed the issue. Check them out at:

Just reading now thanks for getting back to me, are you running custom firmware ?

 

[JJQuin]

I'm running Asus Merlin. You can learn all about it at:

https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-custom-firmware-for-asus-routers.7846/

and the wiki at:

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki

Merlin allows you to enter custom configurations for your OpenVPN Clients

Add this to your configuration:

pull-filter ignore "ifconfig-ipv6"
pull-filter ignore "route-ipv6"

EDIT: fixed typo.

I've been looking and looking for a solution to my OVPN service provider "forcing" me to use IPV6 and me not being able to use YazFi with IPV6. This little snippet fixed it totally.
Thank you for an oldie but an goldie. They want me to use Wireguard instead.
