asus Download Master and 2x USB drives - issues
was not aware that there is a transmission alternative with Merlin. I am running asus-merlin, so I might actually go over to check. Is it a more fully-featured transmission, with the transmission web-gui I remember from ~15 years ago?- simaka

asus Download Master and 2x USB drives - issues
was afraid this will be the answer... 😊 I assume that transmission is hardcoded to not allow path to the complete / incomplete dirs within the same filespace/device.I really don't want to go for compiling my own though.. If nobody has any better idea, I guess I will leave it as it is until I...- simaka

I am trying to create a stable & issue-free setup of asus ac86u with 2x USBs drives for Download Master (DM): 32GB (binaries) 512GB (downloads) I tried multiple approaches and every approach has different issues.

asus stock firmware (GT-AX6000) - limit max bandwidth for the openVPN server's clients
Hello, I am using ASUS Merlin on my RT-AC86U to access a openVPN server of a friend's GT-AX6000 (stock firmware) in another country. All works good, speed and latency are great. However, I'd like to avoid suffocating his upload channel (~50mbps), although it's unlikely as it is to happen...- simaka

access WAN after connecting to VPN server on asus? (VPN_client -> VPN_srv_on_asus_merlin -> WAN_on_asus_merlin)
OK, non-default port works (used iphone hotspot to have a proper computer with a proper openvpn-client test connectivity). Thx for the advice, will update once the router reaches its destination some weeks from now. :-) -

that's exactly the issue... can't seem to make it work on the non-default port. Will continue troubleshooting tomorrow, once I have a real client to test with (as opposed to an iphone). -

access WAN after connecting to VPN server on asus? (VPN_client -> VPN_srv_on_asus_merlin -> WAN_on_asus_merlin)
can confirm. With AC66U_B1 I was able to get a max of ~24mbps up/down (AC66U_B1 being a client for NordVPN openvpn). With AC86U I am hitting the max of my connection speed (~100mbps up/down). -

access WAN after connecting to VPN server on asus? (VPN_client -> VPN_srv_on_asus_merlin -> WAN_on_asus_merlin)
Update: I upgraded my old (AC66U B1) router with a new one (AC86U). I configured a VPN server on my old AC66U_B1 and attached it to one of the LAN ports of the new AC86U. PROBLEM: All works fine if I use the default vpn-server port 1194. I setup port forwarding on the internet-facing AC86U and... -

Thanks a lot, I see it only now, I had already checked the server tab configuration, but it seems I missed that radio button... I will keep updating this thread with the progress over the next few months, just so that if anyone finds this has all the info. -

access WAN after connecting to VPN server on asus? (VPN_client -> VPN_srv_on_asus_merlin -> WAN_on_asus_merlin)
I want to access streaming services in that language, and unfortunately they are not available out of the country. What's even more unfortunate, is that commercial VPN services which I tested (nordvpn, expressvpn) have their IPs already blacklisted. Most unfortunate, as it's not one of the "big... -

I am about to upgrade my AC66U B1 and have been thinking that I might just 1. Move it to another country where a friend of mine lives and connect it to the LAN port of a said friend's router 2. ask my friend to port-forward the right port to my asus 3. run a VPN server on my asus 4. connect via...
