    Dual Wan-1 ISP, 2 Lan lines into Wan & Wan/Lan

    I am using the Arris as a modem only, and the Asus for routing functions. So the Asus passes through direct to static IP on ATT's backend. Basically a bridge, I guess ATT just calls it different inside their setup options. So I guess the only way to really get the dual wan or link aggregation...

    Dual Wan-1 ISP, 2 Lan lines into Wan & Wan/Lan

    The modem is the ATT provided Arris BGW210-700. The downside is, I can't find anything to support LACP in their modem. ATT also makes is very hard to remove their modem and use your own. I know some people have run VLAN switches to spoof the handshake and then remove the provided modem. This...

    Dual Wan-1 ISP, 2 Lan lines into Wan & Wan/Lan

    Does this setup actually help? I'm running one gig fiber line into modem. Then two Lan lines into an rt-ac88u one Wan and the other Lan as the dedicated dual wan port. I did some custom routing and other testing, things seem quicker, but I'm not sure if there's any actual real world load...

    RT AC88U vpn stuck at 16mbps

    I cannot get my RT AC88U faster than 16mbps on a 200 mbps network while running openvpn as a server. Don't totally understand mtu and sndbuf/rcvbuf, but have read that can help. Looking for some suggestions.

    Interesting IP/Routing conflict

    I am using an Asus Lyra behind an RT-AC88U for whole home VPN. Lyra is a client of the main router setup as a VPN server. I noticed that in the Lyra there are 2 errors. 1 that states the WAN IP has an issue. I have tried the router IP, an assigned IP, the ISP IP, etc. Nothing will make...

    ISP public IP leak with openvpn + proxy

    My openvpn server when running a proxy won't show the public ip as that of the proxy. It will instead show my isp public ip. Wondering if it's an ip leak, or some issue related to the isp modem as the final jump point before the internet. If I use Tor, or a proxy search engine, the proxy ip...

    Am I truly hiding from ISP?

    What is the answer for staying off their radar? Even though things are encrypted they can verify both end points. Does a proxy take care of hiding from isp? Or spoofing mac addresses of devices?

    Am I truly hiding from ISP?

    So then is there a point to running a VPN server in my home if the intent is to protect internet browsing, streaming media etc? And if so, what is a better answer, run TOR option through Asus router all the time? Use an anonabox or something? I just want to fully control packets to be...

    Lyra router as client through rtac88u as vpn server

    In case anyone else runs into this. Just remove NCP ciphers for Lyra in the config and it will work

    Am I truly hiding from ISP?

    So even with some of these protections that Asus offers, such as utilizing a home router as a VPN server for all my home traffic, I am still likely on the radar of my ISP? Trying to do my first version of a safe full home VPN buildout for friends and family. For friends and family they are...

    Am I truly hiding from ISP?

    So below is a diagram of my setup. Everything runs VPN 24/7. Lyra Mesh----------->RTAC88U---------->ISP Modem------------->Internet (VPN Client) (My VPN Server) (Public IP) So as long as the Lyra is on VPN, and any additional devices are on VPN that go directly...

    Am I truly hiding from ISP?

    I have a two router setup, an rtac88u setup as the main router/VPN server. I have a lyra mesh setup as a vpn client of the main router. Then the ISP rented modem. All devices in the home go through the vpn server, but there are a couple issues. 1. The Lyra always says "IP/routing conflict"...

    Foreign IP's on VPN logs-Prevention using "allow only specified clients" through jjfs?

    I have been monitoring my vpn server through Asus RTAC88U and noticed some activity that appears foreign. I wanted to confirm. I originally tried to do "allow only specified clients" and would get a ccd error. So I attempted to allow JJFS and add a config to the ccd for each unique user, but...

    Lyra router as client through rtac88u as vpn server

    I am working myself in circles attempting to add a lyra system to my home. I have an rtac88u setup as a vpn server and it works great. I have been wanting to send items such as smart tv, fire tv, etc which don't generally support vpn software through the vpn server. In comes the lyra. I am...
