Thanks! I may well do that! :) But quick question: is the "remote-random" and several servers in one config tested and working? The setup seems pretty simple, but both RT-AX86U PRO with stock, and an old RT-AC68U with Merlin only ever looks at the last server in the list. (And when I put a...

Yes, that is also my experience when I "adjusted" the values, although using --keepalive 2 10. That set me onto the idea of using a dual WAN router I happen to have, and let it do the failover between two WAN ports, connected to two LAN ports (with different VPNs) on the main router. Messy, as...

I tried that - the ping time is minimum 220 milliseconds (Brazil to Norway), and with TCP the bandwidth through the VPN was reduced to 2-3 Mbps! :D I considered writing the meeting participants a letter, rather than doing Teams meeting! ;) I use two VPN servers - one is a NordVPN and the other...

I see you added something. I will read through it. Thanks. I've been "discussing" with myself whether I should start to script etc. - I literally have not used Unix etc. commands since the 1980s (!), with an exception of a few weeks in 2010.

I appreciate it. Thanks. I usually work with high availability industrial networks (IEC 62439 PRP and such), and I decided to try to use the "remote-random" as a failover function (with several servers) which OpenVPN has. However, I've tried it on several routers/firmware, and all of them pick...

Hi Ripsho, Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't, because NordVPN will not release config files for Wireguard. It is only available in the NordVPN application, which I can't install on a corporate PC. I had a LONG discussion with their customer support about it! :D Thanks! When my NordVPN...

Hi Colin, Thanks for the idea. I've tried with both # and with ; Now I even tried removing the line altogether, and same fatal error in all three cases. I'm litterally using the same config file on an Asus RT-AX86U PRO with stock, and an RT-AC68U with Merlin. (I put Merlin on an old router to...

In addition to my reply above: I tried to remove the X509 check from the NordVPN config file (because I was trying several servers), on both stock and Merlin. Asus Stock accepted it, but Merlin stopped with a fatal error. (I put a semi-colon first.) ;verify-x509-name CN=no238.nordvpn.com Gave...

I will try a different server - I'm unsure whether it is the server which is down (or kicks off users), or the link between Latin-America and Europe. There has been issues going from Brazil to Europe. (So I get about 500/500 Mbps nationally normally, but some days I only got 300/5 Mbps (!) to...

Thank you. :) As cptoblivious says, I'm on a corporate machine (several, in fact) which I cannot install applications on. Since it is often I who do a lot of the talking in these meetings, and therefore I don't notice immediately that the VPN is down, I'm looking for a configuration which...

Because I am in country X, and the company expects calls/login from its home country Y. (Not doing anything illegal! :) ) Do you have any advice regarding the question above?

I am using OpenVPN (UDP) – mainly for Teams/Meet video meetings – to a NordVPN server in Europe, from an Asus RT-86U PRO client. Normally things work fine. Lately there have been small “breaks” in the internet connection (to Europe?), causing the VPN to stop. However, even though I can see from...

Good luck with your time travel! :)

Weird. Do they work otherwise? Can both access the internet, through router 1? And if you swap PC1 and PC2?

Can you ping the AP from the PC on router 1? Can you ping Router 1 from the PC on router 2? Can the routers themselves ping the PCs, etc. (using the built in diagnostics)?
