    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    I set my Compression setting to "None" and was able to actually get internet access via the tunnel. So I thought I'd run a speed test to compare between "Adaptive" and "None" With Adaptive Compression Without Compression I was expecting something a little different.

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    When I set compression to "Disabled" like suggested, I can no longer get internet access through the tunnel to PIA. The tail end of my log shows "Invalid argument" which doesn't happen when Compressionis set to Adaptive. Apr 26 17:52:51 openvpn-routing: Adding route for 10.xx.xx.15 to...

    Redirect Internet traffic Policy Question

    From Post #18 in ver. 380.58 Policy rules, The DNS for Local ISP Leaks VPN IP. This is a serious problem. Caution @RMerlin -- Something doesn't seem right. My non-VPN PCs are getting my VPN DNS...

    Redirect Internet traffic Policy Question

    Yes indeed. I just dropped the VPN tunnel that was running in the background to my server, and re-checked at dnsleaktest. Now the router is pointing at my ISP. Hell Cox!

    Redirect Internet traffic Policy Question

    In fact, the internal PC's are not getting passed PIAs DNS gateway. But when I check at dnsleaktest it shows this internal PC, going through the ISP, is using PIAs DNS gateway. Which I guess means that the router itself is using PIAs DNS? So the router is telling all the non-VPN PCs to...

    Redirect Internet traffic Policy Question

    Hmm, This is what I am currently passing to all the internal network PCs. (my gateway, and google). I guess I could see how if I left those fields blank the internal networked PCs might get passed the DNS entry that the actual router is getting from the ISP. But I don't understand why they are...

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    Great thanks. So I'm just going to summarize this all in one post for future reference. :) use port 1194 with BF-CBC encryption. (PIA Default) use port 1195 with encryption type set to none and in custom configuration add auth none. use port 1196 with AES-128-CBC encryption. (Preferred for...

    Redirect Internet traffic Policy Question

    Yes -- I get what you're saying. I have set the openVPN client DNS mode to "Exclusive", and I use policy-based routing. I have exactly one rule: my local server routes all its internet traffic thru the VPN. It works well. I just can't quite figure out why all my other PCs, which are going...

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    So if I use the "preferred encryption method", i.e. AES-128-CBC, what port should I use? Should it be different then the port used with the "default encryption method" Blowfish? Thanks...

    Redirect Internet traffic Policy Question

    I just set that up last night and am having no problems with it. Only SERVER is going through VPN. I'm on another machine right now that's going directly through my ISP. I upgraded to 380.58_0 last week. on my AC66U.

    Help with DHCP issue

    Next time the laptop has trouble, i.e. later today, I will give the netsh command a go and see what I can find... But really, I poke the ASUS router, and my wife's laptop starts to work. Done this multiple times over the past year. I thought it was outdated FW, that;s why I upgraded to...

    Help with DHCP issue

    -- part 3 of 3 -- I check back on the laptop and what do I find: Lenovo Network Connections After.JPG Everything is now Magically Delicious. I really don't know how long this will last. I've double checked the General Log, but nothing is showing up there. Apr 24 11:32:21 rc_service: httpd...
