    Bypassing VPN Accept DNS Configuration = Exclusive for one client

    Thank You for taking the time to explain all this, for now my tunnel does everything I need, I have the Roku on WAN and everything else on VPN with the Exclusive DNS option. There are no leaks and there is no speed loss with the AC87u, however, if I were to upgrade my internet plan more...

    Bypassing VPN Accept DNS Configuration = Exclusive for one client

    Thank You for posting this, I may try this solution with 2 VPN clients and only use the Google DNS for the Roku to see if that fixes my issue, I'm worried about the CPU burden of two encryptions on my RT-AC87U which already has a high load encrypting/decrypting a single tunnel. Thank You for...

    Bypassing VPN Accept DNS Configuration = Exclusive for one client

    Thank You for your reply, I tried to use the DNSFilter and this did not work with the Exclusive DNS policy. You see, the issue with using DNS Strict is that it then breaks Netflix streaming on other devices as it uses the VPN's dns servers directly, which are based in Australia and Singapore...

    Bypassing VPN Accept DNS Configuration = Exclusive for one client

    Hi, I recently subscribed to VPN and set up an OpenVPN client on Merlin 384.9, I configured the Accept DNS setting to exclusive, and verified that there are no leaks (the ip address of the dns is the same as the main ip and they both belong to the VPN provider). I also forced all clients to...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 is now available

    I'll wait for the next stable version, ipv6 is nice but it's not worth flashing an alpha over this 384.5 version which is essentially flawless, apart from ipv6 this build provided over 17 days of problem free service so far (Adaptive QOS and all protection features enabled, the QOS in particular...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 is now available

    Yes, this is what I mean. I used the latest stock firmware before and ipv6 was fully stable. Right now with 384.5 the clients may have working ipv6 for only a few minutes after connecting before they drop the WAN address, while only retaining the link-local. I have a simple PPPoE VDSL with the...

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 is now available

    Only the newest releases mention fixed ipv6 issues. Merlin, As native ipv6 seems broken with 384.5, I think you should wait for 3.0.0.4.382.50624 and 3.0.0.4.384.21045.

    [Release 384/NG] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.5 is now available

    I upgraded my RT-AC87U to 384.5 and managed to get everything to work fine except for 2 things: 1) The initial setup wizard hangs on last step (see thread at: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac87u-384-5-quick-internet-setup-stuck-on-last-step.46896/ ) 2) Native Ipv6 does not work properly...

    RT-AC87U 384.5 Quick Internet Setup stuck on last step

    I agree with you for the most part, especially with regard to internet security and the need to be informed about the security implications of new technologies. I know that no firmware is set and forget, as you still have to perform security updates occasionally. I'll definitely consider...

    RT-AC87U 384.5 Quick Internet Setup stuck on last step

    So far so good with 1 day uptime, I just hope it doesn't leak memory and crash after approximately 50 days like the stock 382 firmware. Merlin's work is great, and the 87U is solid, I just wish Asus would also provide a 384 build with AiMesh.

    RT-AC87U 384.5 Quick Internet Setup stuck on last step

    Thank You for your reply st3v3n, I may try this in the future when the next update comes around if there are still problems. Since I already worked around the issue and input all my settings from scratch, I hope to avoid another disturbance for now as my setup is quite complex with a bunch of...

    RT-AC87U 384.5 Quick Internet Setup stuck on last step

    Hi, I just migrated my router to Merlin's firmware for more stability then the factory 382 build which leaked memory. I really appreciate the tweaks made by Merlin and his willingness to support the 87U on the latest 384 code. There is just one small issue that I stumbled upon. When setting...
