Just to clarify, the encryption is handled by the PC in your case or the router? I don't get the "on PC" reference. Did you mean: AX88U With Express VPN on 1Gbps fibre, and the speedtest.net website is accessed from a PC behind the router while the router is running OpenVPN?.

I am paying for a cable connection that is technically 250 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. I think. It's all very nebulous, especially with regard to the upload speed, which the provider does not really advertise, they focus on the big "headline" number of "250 Mbps" when they advertise. With an...

Just to close this out, NordVPN got back to me saying: "In step 9 of the AsusWRT Merlin tutorial, you have to change everything that is in that Custom Configuration field to the given text so that it looks the same as in the provided picture."

I am trying to follow the instructions here: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1047410642/AsusWRT-Merlin-setup-with-NordVPN.htm Based on step 7, I import the .opvn file, and it prepopulates some fields, as expected. Then, as I get to step 9 of the instructions, it tells me to...

Hi @Martineau , I have a beloved RT-AC68U router and would like to use your vlanswitch.sh script, if it's still available, and at my own risk, of course. Could you send me a link to your vlanswitch.sh script? My purpose on the RT-AC68U units is to have any client plugged into a specific LAN...

Yes interesting. I d not have IPv6 enabled and I do not have an IPv6 external address. I only have IPv4. So does this just mean the device is trying to see if it can call out using IPv6 and it's getting blocked? But IPv4 gets through, which I assume is OK?

I think this is a Diversion issue, but not sure if it's an issue at all. On the uiDivStats screen, in the section "Query Log" I can see the following (I'm filtering by IP to one device on the network). I see the same site as both Blocked and Allowed, and don't know what that means. As best as...

Thanks, I will try!

The RT-AC68U router has 4 LAN ports on the back, I'll call them LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, and LAN4. Ordinarily, if there are 4 devices plugged into the 4 LAN ports, they can talk to each other, see each other. Is there a way for the router to segregate the device plugged into LAN1 from the others? So...

OMG, yes!!!!! I used a completely different browser (one I never use, Edge) and it showed correctly that the settings were already cleared to their defaults. Thank you!!! And for anyone using Chrome and hesitant to clear browser cache, you can clear cache for only your router's website. 1...

Thanks, I will need to do a reset and start from scratch after all. I have done that but "cheated" by loading a previously saved configuration.

Wondering if you can help me fix something. I have a RT-AC68P and running Merlin and also some of the addons: Diversion, Skynet, and dnscrypt. I have a couple of other units of same model running as AI Mesh nodes. I successfully set up a VPN server on the main router and can log into the...

Oh great, thank you. And I am sorry for posting here and not in the AddOns forum, just realized my mistake. You can tell I'm new. Thanks again.

I was looking around in Skynet, and just realized that there is one submenu where there is no "Exit" option. I think there should be? Basically, from main menu, select [11] which is Settings, and the submenu has no Exit button. If you go in by mistake, the way to "escape" is to toggle an...

Great, thank you. In the evening when the internet is not needed, I can try to go in via SSH and see what screen I was at. I only remember that I was at some kind of a secondary screen with about 4-7 options and essentially trying to poke around the various lists, whitelists, blacklists, ad...
