Just wanted to drop my thanks in to you, John. I've just put this on my AC66U for the first time to see what it's like and so far it seems really nice. Feels like this is a better choice than the latest ASUS releases. I installed it from the CFE Mini-Web Server and it uploaded in about 10...

I would be interested to see if this works myself but as I'm even less of an expert than you it will take a bit of learning what the hell all this means first. I'll get there ;-)

I wanted to give this a test with the stock firmware myself but I would have to get up quite early to do it as there are a lot of family using the internet all day. I stay up too bloody late :-P

The VPN is only active on the PC. I realise that probably makes disabling UPnP on the router irrelevant as it would just be between the PC and the VPN provider but as for the other settings?

I only meant a limitation in general but yes I see that you are saying it's probably a limitation sepcifically in UPnP and that makes sense. May I ask if it's strange that after disabling UPnP on the router and on the Windows 7 PC in question that this ability to change ports and have them...

So it could just be a limitation of the router software that does not forward UPnP requests to the provider for any clients connecting via it even if the provider supports it?

Also, assuming they are willing to accept UPnP connections, is there a reason this would then not work via the router?

They used to be called iPredator and then they merged with another branch of theirs to then be called Njalla. The name change was only recent so perhaps you'd have more luck with finding information on iPredator if it hasn't all come down. They are suppose to be all about privacy so I don't know...

Sorry, I meant the official OpenVPN client provided by OpenVPN themselves. I use Njalla VPN service. They don't have their own apps to my knowledge but they currently support OpenVPN and WireGuard as the 2 methods to connect.

I appreciate your scepticism. If there is anyway I can prove it to you I will. I tried with OpenVPN (using the official client) and WireGuard (using Tunsafe) and with both it says the port is open when uTorrent is open and closed when uTorrent is closed. I used the IP address that was assigned...

Haha. Well I know that a lot of routers can be quite slow but I guess more than anything I had hoped that, regardless of throughput speed, the older PC might be a bit quicker in itself if it didn't have to deal with encrypting traffic. It does seem to be a little quicker using it in my initial...

Hi there. Thank you for your reply. I realised I hadn't been very specific with what I was asking there. I would rather my router was acting as a client to connect to my VPN provider instead of my PC as my AC86U will most likely be faster than my older PC. But as my router isn't forwarding ports...

Thank you for you reply @RMerlin. I have highlighted in bold where he mentions the version he uses and that it works on that version. It does indeed say under the release notes for that version "- Fixed parental control issues.".

Hi guys, Hopefully someone can help me with this as I'm no expert with such things. I have noticed that when I set up my VPN on my PC using either OpenVPN or WireGuard that it allows free access to ports for the programs on my computer without needing to forward them. I can use uTorrent as an...

I think he's saying that exactly. It says his internet is block and yet he's still able to post that message as it's clearly not blocked. His point is that it's working on the ASUS official version. Merlin has stated before that when it doesn't work there is nothing he can do as it's closed...
