    x3mRouting x3mRouting ~ Selective Routing for Asuswrt-Merlin Firmware (1-Nov-2020)

    He’s not been on the forums for 5 months now. Massive shame As this functionality was key enough for me I’m considering alternative routers / firmware. Does anyone know if other firmwares can do what this was doing?

    Merlin compatible router with >1gb WAN and Network port?

    Yeah for sure. But we are here in a networking specialist forum, in a custom firmware for after market routers. Thats not really the pass time of mom and pops and their 2 kids on youtube. What if you want to store those video files on offsite / remote storage? Why wait for 80gb to download for...

    Merlin compatible router with >1gb WAN and Network port?

    I mean by that reasoning, why is anyone pushing the limits of connections. Transfer data faster. I find that quite an odd question for someone with a 10gb network backbone? Netflix isnt the end of the internet.

    Merlin compatible router with >1gb WAN and Network port?

    I don’t understand, why is >1gig futuristic? UK I thought was lagging behind on broadband infrastructural, here one of the more widely available providers Virgin Media has 1130mb and is available in 40% or more of UK homes now. They have already trialed 2.2gb and now in the process of rolling...

    Merlin compatible router with >1gb WAN and Network port?

    No SFP+ is fine, my ISP router has a 2.5gb RJ45 port which I can feed to the routers WAN inout but my switches have dual port SFP+ and RJ45 so could make that work. Right now my service is 1130mb but I’m capping it going into my AX88U with its 1gb port limitation. Also allegedly my ISP is also...

    Merlin compatible router with >1gb WAN and Network port?

    I did some more looking around and seems only the RT-AX89X is carrying 2 ports for simultaneous LAN/WAN rather than a single switchable port. I’m not really interested in aggregating ports as I want the speed at each end device. In any case seems Merlin is out the window then and its back to...

    Merlin compatible router with >1gb WAN and Network port?

    Hi, are there any merlin compatible routers which have multi-gig WAN port and multi-gig network Ports? If none existing what recommendations are they? I really only use a few openvpn clients, an ip-sec server and vpn director in terms of configured functionality on my existing AX88U, so couldn’t...

    x3mRouting x3mRouting ~ Selective Routing for Asuswrt-Merlin Firmware (1-Nov-2020)

    I obviously have no real understanding what either are doing, but VPN director sounds like it might be doing something similar, maybe they will both coexist OK. But he says it won’t support ipsets and judging by the size of the ip lists I end up with for BBC, Netflix and Amazon, using it I...

    Hey @Xentrk is the VPN Director functionality going to break this do you think?

    Beta VPN Director testing

    Hmm OK thanks. Hopefully he can make xm3routing work together with this then, imagine it will get messy. Being able to bypass the vpn for those geo lock services but sending everything else to vpn is a great little tool and I think it already handles this priority / rule based routing as well. I...

    Beta VPN Director testing

    The only way to add destinations will be individual ip or cidr, ipsets will never be a thing here?

    Validating DNS over TLS

    Hi, most likely a very simple question but would like to confirm rather than blindly presume. I have been setting up DNS over TLS following the wiki guide. I used cloudflare DNS servers. After setting it up however all the test websites I tried say TLS is not being used (even when DNSSEC was...
