Hello experts, Using a laptop, I am connected to PrivateInternetAccess VPN service. When connected, I am unable to access my local NAS. I am told PIA does not support split tunneling as this is what I need to access my local NAS. Is there a solution here besides using the USB based storage... -

fan controllers
Hi All, I am assembling a new system using a mid-tower case. The case can support 7 fans. In shopping around, I see there are a number of PC fan controllers available. Lamptron brand appears to be a highly regarded company in that area. Having never used one of these types of PC fan...- xmfan

VPN SET UP
Have you tried going to express VPN's website to see if they have configuration details ? I subscribe to private Internet access and they have very clear steps for openVPN config for tomato, dd-wrt, etc. firmware. So, give that a shot first.- xmfan

netgear ac1750 router
This is exactly what worries me. This router (R6700) maybe a 'one off' production for Costco. The price ($120) definitely makes you want to look into :-). My goal would be to run openVPN on it with two laptops connected to a NAS (sinology) through this router to transfer the files back and... -

netgear ac1750 router

Cloud200 - Thank you for the reply. I had not considered the possibility of an issue with the E1200 router. Regardless of whether I am downloading from the net or transferring large size files from one storage to another through the E1200, the CPU load, as reported through tomato firmware... -

openVPN client enabled on tomato router.
Trip - Thanks for your comment. I have 30 downstream /5 upstream package, and using openVPN to connect to the VPN service. Right now, I'm getting 5 downstream at best. Certainly, would be great to get as fast as possible using openVPN. What I'm having a difficulty understanding is that if my... -

openVPN client enabled on tomato router.
Thank you for your feedback. I will be replacing the E1200 at the earliest. I bought the E1200 so I could learn how to flash routers with both DD-WRT and tomato firmware. Any suggestions, as to what minimum router CPU speed I should consider for my specific need (VPN client using tomato... -

Hi All, I am learning all things networking that includes flashed routers using alternative firmware such as DD-WRT and tomato. Background: I have an E1200 cisco/linksys router that I have successfully flashed with tomato firmware. I have enabled openVPN client feature and configured it to...
