    Possible to disable router if VPN is disconnected?

    I have a Asus RT-AC68 router running Asuswert-Merlin 380.65. I have not identified any setting which would disable the data stream if the OpenVPN client is disconnected. I know this is available in laptop apps provided by some VPN vendors but can't see how to set that up on my router. Thanks

    Asus AC68U 380.65 - openVPN speeds capped at ~15Mbps

    I usually get somewhere in the range of 35 plus. I use Nord and a local server in the NYC, NJ area. I had a hard time getting here until I noticed some silly mistakes in my settings. AC68R running 380.65 ISP is Verizon 150 mps

    VPN Client on Asus RT-AC86R with Merlin 380.65 not functioning

    Something has changed. The problem seems to have gone away :) :) Speed (no VPN) was: G1100 88/95 and Asus 68R 72/95 (See note below about VPN speed) 1)I changed to another Cat5e cable (Need to go out and get a Cat6 today) 2)Lots of stuff in the log that I didn't understand but I noted it...

    VPN Client on Asus RT-AC86R with Merlin 380.65 not functioning

    Forgetting VPN for the moment, I still don't get the drop in speed through the AC68. It's a gigabit router so 90Mbps into the router should result in about 90 Mbps out of the router. That is my biggest quandary at the moment. I will be happy to get 10 to 20mbps from the router after the VPN...

    VPN Client on Asus RT-AC86R with Merlin 380.65 not functioning

    Yes, I understand that. I have two issues. First the Asus router seems to slow things down by half before activating any VPN. I don't understand that. Second, and it may be related, the VPN speed has dropped from 40 Mbts into Kbts and that is after the 50% drop caused by the router alone. I...

    VPN Client on Asus RT-AC86R with Merlin 380.65 not functioning

    I finally got it working in LAN to WAN mode. It was a learning process with a lot false moves. VPN is pitifully slow. Without engaging VPN my speed is about 95/95 Mbps if I connect to the Verizon router, however, when I connect to the Asus behind it, my speed drops to 33/35. It may be a...

    VPN Client on Asus RT-AC86R with Merlin 380.65 not functioning

    OK, thanks for that. I telnet'ed the new time and date. Hopefully it will now update itself. However, I can not ping an outside address from the router. I can ping the upstream router 192.168.1.1 ok, but when I try to ping outside I get a message that address is unreachable. I have tried...

    VPN Client on Asus RT-AC86R with Merlin 380.65 not functioning

    Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately the DMZ did not solve the problem and PIA says only that they don't support port forwarding. I think I have hit a brick wall:(

    Possible to place an Asus with OpenVPN client behind another router?

    I have been trying to get the openVpn client function of an Asus RT-AC68R router to work behind a Verizon router. I am beginning to think that it just might not be possible. Has anybody done this. The Asus router functions properly except for the VPN function. I want the Asus behind the...

    VPN Client on Asus RT-AC86R with Merlin 380.65 not functioning

    I have an RT-AC68R behind a Verizon G1100 router and am attempting to use the VPN client. The status shows "connecting" but it never does. The Asus has a LAN connection to the Verizon router. I notice that if I go "to the diagnostics panel and attempt to ping any address, i.e. Google, I get a...

    pool.ntp.org time not updating

    Has anybody found a solution to this problem? I have exactly the same issue and suspect that the failure of my VPN client to find an Internet address may be related

    AC68R time not sync'ed and network pings result in "non reachable" message.

    I have been trying to get the VPN client on my AC68R with Merlin 380.65 to work but I suspect the problem does not lie with the VPN client. The router is behind a Verizon G1100. For all intents and purposes (mostly) it works as it should. In trying to diagnose the VPN client issues I...

    Speed limitations with router

    Thanks for the comments amm009uk. I have been experimenting with different VPN vendors and have not settled on one yet. Could you expand on your comparison of expressVPN vs PIA. I have not tried PIA yet, although it seems to be reasonably priced and used by others on this forum. My interest...
