    Can anyone disclose a URL to a published article where a VPN provider has disclosed users' information to a non-legal authority? I'm curious because if there is that type of evidence of such practice by a VPN provider, than I would agree with you. Regards, GoldWing

    Yes. TRUST is a heavy word. I'm attempting to reduce risk and improve privacy when using the Internet. Just that simple.

    IMHO that is your opinion. I use multiple financial institutions on the Internet. Some I'm sure are much larger than others. I can say with relative certainty that the financial institution where I've experienced intermittent problems with my online access which appears to be my VPN are not...

    I'm not trying to hide information from my ISP. I'm trying to maximize my privacy and security when using the Internet. No more, no less. I feel it reduces my risk. Just that simple. Yes it is the exceptions that I'm not aware of which concern me most. I don't know what I don't know...

    From the number of financial service providers including banks that I've used, the service providers which have problems with VPN's are in my experience the minority. I have communicated this with that Institution. Their response was that the problem is due to AI that they implemented last...

    LOL! To be honest when it comes to the Internet I think TRUST is to powerful of a word. I am no computer expert. I have been a computer USER for a LONG time! From what I've read about the Internet over a LONG time is the Internet is more like Swiss Cheese which has a LOT of holes in it...

    Yes. Agree! I'll have to look into those discussions at a later time. DNS maybe off topic to VPN, but noting L&LD's comments below. I brought up DNS because of L&LD's comments above. So apologize if DNS off topic. Maybe I should have brought up this topic in another forum because it seems...

    Sorry for not quoting you in my earlier response. To add to the 2 additional images posted earlier I've added the WAN DNS Setting image below for router #1. Regards, GoldWing

    I've opted to use DoT rather than DoH. I'm not trying to start a debate. It is my preference after reading Cloudflare's explanation at https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-over-tls/ AND the use of Cloudflare's malware protection by using DoT. Regards, GoldWing

    Actually I did not change it. After you "Upload" the OVPN file the Router's WUI refreshes, and afterward the default "No" changes automatically to "Yes", so apparently the culprit is either the Asus-Merlin firmware 388.2 on the upload, or possibly NordVPN. I'm thinking there is a possible...

    I'm using NordVPN's OpenVPN TCP file downloaded from https://nordvpn.com/ovpn/ uploaded into Asuswrt-Merlin's 388.2 firmware for a VPN Client. For additional RT-AX86U Pro router settings see the addtional images uploaded per the image file names below. 1) RT-AX86U_Pro_VPN_Client_Settings.JPG...
