Years ago I owned a cradlepoint hot spot for my traveling business days and I never had any issues with them. I would consider them a legit manufacturer.

I have a Ubiquity UniFI USG3 as my current router. ISP ---> USG Can I place my pfSense in front of the USG and have it be my Suricata device? ISP ---> pfSense ---> USG The USG has the IPS IDS features but it can only handle up to 80 Mbps of bandwidth. Can the pfSense Suricata feature handle...

I plan on implementing this in stages. I'll upgrade to a pfSense router and make the ASUS RT-AC86U an AP only. Then one day I may update the wifi portion. Thanks for the advice, it's great to bounce things off of others who have done this before. -gk

Martineau, Thank you you for taking the time to write up a process for me. However I am new to this. I am using WinSCP to do the editing in my ASUS RT-AC68U. I logged into my router and added the dnsmasq.conf.add file in the directory of /jffs/configs/ I am not sure what you mean by issue...

Hi, I want to bypass HULU to use my local WAN while all other LAN traffic uses my VPN. I am looking for some help in placing the correct code into my openvpn-event file for this to happen. Can anyone on this thread help me out? I appreciate it. My RT-AC68U is all set and ready to copy this...
