    Strange, download speed faster when using VPN client + router VPN

    I know this is probably not how OpenVPN works, but could it be that since the client on the device is using its hardware for some of the encryption overhead, when it passes the already encrypted data through the router's VPN client it has less work to do...?

    Strange, download speed faster when using VPN client + router VPN

    Yeah that was my same thought as well but my external IP still shows as my VPN's address, checked it multiple times.

    Strange, download speed faster when using VPN client + router VPN

    No... sorry if that was unclear. Perhaps some numbers would help. Direct to ISP, ~28Mbps. With VPN running on router, ~18Mbps. Device connected with local VPN client, running though VPN connected router, ~25Mbps.

    Strange, download speed faster when using VPN client + router VPN

    My router (RT-AC68U, 384.3) is configured to tunnel all traffic through an OpenVPN server running on an external VPS. Everything works as expected, my download speeds are slightly slower than when I connect directly to my ISP, but that's to be expected due to the overhead of OpenVPN. What I...

    Exclude client from VPN, except for particular IP address

    I would like to have all of my traffic routed through OpenVPN except one client - that part is working fine. On that excluded client I would also like to route a particular IP through the VPN, which I am having trouble getting working correctly. Here's what my policy rules look like: All...

    Allow only DNS from Guest Wifi to internal

    I came here with an almost identical issue. I am running Pi-Hole (DNS filtering) on my network which works great, but I need to expose the IP address of the Pi-Hole server to the guest wifi networks without opening them up to my entire internal network. Please let me know if you come across a...

    Two OpenVPN clients (tunnel for all internet traffic + tunnel to access resources on another server)

    Just wanted to follow up with what I think is a working solution. Just to recap: I used the Road warrior OpenVPN install on two separate VPS's. Server 1 is being used as a persistent VPN tunnel to secure all traffic from router. Server 2 has a number of web based resources running on which...

    Two OpenVPN clients (tunnel for all internet traffic + tunnel to access resources on another server)

    Hey all, I'm running Merlin 380.65_2 on a RT-AC68U. I've successfully configured an OpenVPN client to an external VPN provider in order to tunnel all of my traffic, with the exception of a few devices using some Policy Rules: At this point, I would like to add a second persistent OpenVPN...
