    Throughput/bandwidth of asuswrt-merlin supported routers

    Hmm... I just ask because in shopping for a new one, it would kind of be nice to know what features I may be unable to use in order to achieve the 1 GBps WAN throughput. Is it stuff like QOS that makes it suffer?

    PSA - RT-AC68U with CTF/NAT Acceleration may allow IPv6 UDP traffic through firewall

    Right. So long story short, it not unlikely that I am correct in diagnosing the root issue and in warning that this might be an issue. That being said, do we have a handy list of models (and/or firmware versions that they use) that use these Broadcomm chips, so that someone who might be...

    Throughput/bandwidth of asuswrt-merlin supported routers

    What, if any tradeoffs do you get running those? IOW, if I want to get an Asus router to continue to use Merlin, and I want to achieve ~1Gbps (my download limit on fiber), do I lose other features? I would assume so if these technologies are not enabled by default?

    PSA - RT-AC68U with CTF/NAT Acceleration may allow IPv6 UDP traffic through firewall

    I can't say, as I only have this router to test with. I took this to the IRC first because I was trying to get some quick assistance, so Merlin is aware of my findings (I couldn't tell 100% if agreed with them or not, and I didn't want to bother him). He did ackknoweldge that my firewall rules...

    Throughput/bandwidth of asuswrt-merlin supported routers

    Can I add on to the question here and ask which Merlin capable routers can acheive these speeds without the use of CTF? As I've just discovered a possible security issue with CTF on my RT-AC68U, I am adverse to relying on the black box technlogy on a new device I get. Do the new devices even use...

    PSA - RT-AC68U with CTF/NAT Acceleration may allow IPv6 UDP traffic through firewall

    So, your point about IPv6 not requiring NAT is mostly accurate. For pure IPv6 with global addresses, I would say it almost entirely accurate and since my situation is with global IP addresses I would tend to agree that "NAT should have no effect." The routing to the IPv6 addresses should be...

    PSA - RT-AC68U with CTF/NAT Acceleration may allow IPv6 UDP traffic through firewall

    This is a PSA post based on some issues I just worked through. I wanted to share it here in case anyone else came across something similar as well as a warning for all of you on older routers like the AC68U who are also using IPv6 (and have public IPs for any clients). I don't know how...

    Solved Potential bug with UDP NAT loopback/hairpinning

    Just wanted to say thanks, I ran across this exact issue trying to setup a Minecraft server for my son. Was able to connect locally with the Java client using the public IP because it uses TCP, but the Bedrock (console) client uses UDP and this was blocking it.

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Appreciate the testing. Well, hopefully that is good news and means it was resolved on some future FW. I'll report back on if mine is resolved once I have the chance to upgrade.

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    I'm not sure what model you have, but I believe most models build the file systems from scratch on boot. This is why we need the /jffs partition to store data to customize those files as well as using the data stored in NVRAM. The vpn_serverx_clientlist stores that data on my model (as...

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Thanks... I somehow missed you addressing the fixes for NVRAM in my last response. Based on this I do plan to do the upgrade, but I am actually away for about 6 weeks (hence why I was messing more with the VPN and discovered the problem). I'll be sure to come back after I upgrade and test...

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Yes, I acknowledge that I'm running an older version. However, as mentioned many people did not want to upgrade much past 386.3_2 due to the NVRAM issues. I suspect there are still many people on this older version. I will have to do additional research to see if there has been a better...

    OpenVPN Usernames and Passwords not working

    Just wanted to update for anyone finding this thread (as I did when I experienced a similar weirdness), that I have done some troubleshooting which does not provide any real solution or root cause, but better explains the problem and the behaviors. You can find it here...

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    I had this issue which appears to have ben discussed at least once here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/openvpn-usernames-and-passwords-not-working.73912/ However that was from a while ago and no definitive troubleshooting/root cause was listed. I have some more specific information and I...

    Need help with OpenVPN server configured in non-routing mode

    SOLVED Apparently I had disabled NAT under the WAN settings in my efforts to disable all "unnecessary" services for this configuration. I guess I had mistakenly assumed that since I was not using this device as a traditional router, that NAT would not be necessary to translate any external...
