    RT-AX86U Pro Astrill VPN applet issue

    Yeah, I spoke with Torguard, they do ship internationally but can't guarantee delivery because of possible import issues. Wireguard doesn't work on its own in China right?

    RT-AX86U Pro Astrill VPN applet issue

    Yeah, it is an old router now, still pricey though. Bought the limited edition refurbished half a year ago for USD175 and still thought it was expensive somehow. Do they ship internationally with the free router? I agree, astrill applet does have it bugs. It works 90+% of the time for me but...

    RT-AX86U Pro Astrill VPN applet issue

    Just to chime in here. Its currently working on my AX88U. So its probably another issue to which sadly I've got no clue. So torguard can be setup with Asus merlin? Or do we have to use the unspeakable clash fork?

    [Q] Is there a way to install v2ray/clash on Asus Merlin?

    I understand that there is an unauthorized chinese fork of merlin with built in clash/v2ray support. However I'm would rather not use this fork. Is there a way I could get clash installed on official merlin? Failing that, how should I backup my merlin firmware for restoring if I really have to...

    SWAP file not in use

    On an AX88U right now. Currently I've got diversion running with the large list and Im noticing the free ram is under 200mb yet my swap file of 2gb seems to be completely free. Is there a reason why the swap file is not in use?

    DNSMASQ add ip address range?

    Yeah, I have already done the dnsmasq.conf.add file and confirmed that dnsmasq.d was updating. However the prebuilt list named dnsmasq-china-list isn't as comprehensive as I'd like. I have no idea how to setup the SmartDNS script and I'm not sure if dnsmasq supports ip ranges as I'm able to...

    DNSMASQ add ip address range?

    Background. Using AX88u with Astrill's VPN applet in China. Currently having slow downs with accessing local chinese apps and websites hence I've decided to use https://github.com/felixonmars/dnsmasq-china-list to redirect a list of chinese website address to use the local DNS. Is there a way...

    USB Drive for addons reliablity (SLC nand)

    Which all boils down the the type of NAND memory use right? Or does the flash controller play a part as well?

    USB Drive for addons reliablity (SLC nand)

    But it was my understanding that thumbdrives fail because of the nand flash. If a SLC nand USB drive was to be used, should it be even more reliable when compared to say... a TLC Nand SSD?

    USB Drive for addons reliablity (SLC nand)

    I've read a lot of discussions regarding the use of usb storage when it comes to scripts and entware. Generally consensus are that standard thumbdrives can be a hit and miss and the recommendations are to use an external SSD for greater reliability and lower heat production. I've come across...

    Is a USB swap file always recommended for merlin?

    Since the main issues by OP seems to have resolved. Can I ask if scripts are automatically installed onto the USB? I kept on reading stuff about wearing out the router's built in NAND and I'm wondering how scripts like diversion are installed onto the USB drive.

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    @ColinTaylor Thanks so much for the help! Just one last thing, for the transmission power setting, it says there's a maximum value of 200mW, is there any reason why I shouldn't use 200mW especially when some parts of my house is getting a weaker signal strength?
