    DNS issue when using VPN with PIA and ASUS DSL-AC68U

    Ok this gets weirder by the day..... Set the WAN DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 and the LAN one to 192.168.1.1 which is the ip of the ASUS Router. Start vpn client and all as it should be (DNS fine and IP switches to PIA as it should) Then deactivate vpn client and on my PC all is fine...

    DNS issue when using VPN with PIA and ASUS DSL-AC68U

    ASUS DSL-68 Open vpn problem

    Not sure what you mean here, given that I can access the internet no problem using the ASUS as an access point surely means I have a valid WAN connection. I have had this working in a similar config using an old ASUS non modem router and the VPN client worked fine

    ASUS DSL-68 Open vpn problem

    I am trying to setup an ASUS DSL-AC68U router just as an access point behind my main isp router using PIA Open VPN. I know this is not the best solution for this as this does not have ready options for bridge mode or access point in the Merlin firmware but I have some valid reason for doing...
