RTAC68U with Merlin & privacy vpn
Hi guys,
have just installed merlin 386.12.4, first time merlin install, long time asus ai mesh stock fw user. main reason for moving to merlin was the dual outbound interface with the ISP WAN interface and a privacy OVPN interface. since i enabled VPN director for 4 hosts on the LAN, Internet has gotten really really slow. would like to know if i'm better off doing either of the following options:
1. using a intel nuc for pfsesne to handle the fw/vpn/routing overhead and using the rtac68u for the wireless service in the house with another rt86u as an ai mesh ap. this requires a lot of home network redesign and config (kids and a wife to keep me on me toes not much time to delve into it)
or
2. look for a more beefier asus rt compatible with the rtac68u as an ai mesh node which will be more costly but more convenient.
or
3. another suggestion
cheers everyone.
