Not yet, but that is definitely on my to-do list...

Hey - thanks so much for your "coffee" donation! I truly appreciate it!

... but not until after your CISSP certification.

What's a real VPN to you?

well, if u think a US or German/EU based VPN provider is a good idea... enjoy. I prefer services outside EU and US dependence.
Proton might be one of those. But now as CH is turning to EU, this is no longer an option.

If you are this level of paranoid, then perhaps running your own managed VPN server in your own cloud instance is the way to go.

did already few years ago while in China, it is not possible any more. The great firewall will detect it after a few days or now even minutes. no chance.

For me (at the moment) VPNMON R2 does a good job!

Last working and stable version of VPNMON R2 is version 2.63 - do not use or update to 2.64 or 2.65 as they are simply not working and just force u to use VPNMON R3 which is complicated and doesn’t have the same good random function. (or I didn’t understand it)

Working seamless on Firmware: 3004.388.8_4 AX86U e.g. (1/2025)

Can be installed only manually:

curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ViktorJp/VPNMON-R2/master/vpnmon-r2-2.63.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/vpnmon-r2.sh" && chmod a+rx "/jffs/scripts/vpnmon-r2.sh"

might be useful for others, thanks for writing it

How about Starlink? Nevermind... it doesn't work in China. Randomized multi-hop-multi-VPN-provider tunneling I guess is the way to go.

R3 simply is more powerful and gives you more fine-tuning control, and uses the *same* exact randomization function as in R2.

Happy to hear its still working OK for you... Just so you know, I will be cleaning up this old repository in the near future, but will keep a copy of the last release in an archive folder under R3. I'll document this when the time comes.

the future will go not only to multi hop vpn but a camouflaged multi entrance and exit hop vpns. there are already a few promising technologies. however, not very user friendly yet.

thanks! would be great to have this simple version still available. If it is although in R3, maybe u can think about an Idea of a simple second menu similar to R2, like 2 user interface for 1 engine. (Maybe I m juts to stupid to use it, or to tired when I try at night shift. ...) thanks anyway

What do you mean with "2 user interface for 1 engine" and "a simple second menu similar to R2"? If you can describe a bit more what you're looking for (or screenshots/mockups), perhaps that will spark an idea to help make R3 even simpler to use? I still really don't understand what's holding you back from it's use. R3 is pretty much set-and-forget.

force u to use VPNMON R3 which is complicated

I agree, it is complicated to a new user. But persevere, it's a lot more powerful than the old R2 - it's worth it. I was hesitant at first, all these new options can be daunting until you've played with it a while. Not something you can pick up in just a few minutes.
