I have a RT-AX88U running the latest Merlin. I have the router configured to connect to ProtonVPN and route traffic to it with the VPN Director. I have a PiHole that the router forces all DNS request to go to, and the PiHole, uses Unbound for most things, but will direct Netflix related domains...

First, my setup: A GT-AC5300AC as primary (hence why I'm not on merlin) and an RT-AC5300 as a node over 5ghz wifi. I have a load-balancing setup between two ISPS; one is cable and one is fibre, generally get speeds up to 800 mbps. And I'm using ExpressVPN MediaStreamer DNS plus their VPN...

Hello I just purchased an RT-AC68U router and flashed it with the latest Asuswrt-Merlin. All seems to work well hooked up to the new router except NordVPN on my Amazon Firestick. When hooked up to my old Hitron router I had no problem access Netflix with my NordVPN switched on. Since...

I have an ASUS RT-AC68U running Merlin, and PIA VPN. I want to run the traffic for my LG WebOS TV through the VPN and there is no way to install a VPN client on the TV locally (which would be the easiest way to switch the tunnel on/off) so my only viable solution is to run it through the router...

Hello, I am experiencing some issues with what I suspect is network balancing. My connection is 200MBps download. Some symptoms I am having are: * Whenever I load Netflix from any device, the Avatar profiles and thumbnail (static pictures) in the menus do not show; however titles play (on...

This is my first post to this site, I come here alot for advice and guidance and its never failed me. A friend of mine decided that he wanted his entire home network to be behind a vpn, and he opted for NordVPN. My friend resides in the US. He asked me to set it up for him on a brand new ASUS...

Hello, Im using a VPN service on my router but when my tv runs through the VPN tunnel, my Netflix is blocked. Only after putting the tv over WAN, does Netflix start working. Is there a way to do this?

Introduction A few days ago I updated to 384.15_beta1. Yesterday I reset my router to default factory settings. I ran into an issue when setting up an OpenVPN Client and connecting to the server where the client hung with a "connecting..." status. I want to just point to a solution for anyone...

Hello guys and gals, I have an issue I'm struggling to resolve and contacting the vendor for support appears a futile exercise for now at least, so I'm hoping that some of you here may have experienced a similar issue or may be knowledgable on the subject to provide some leads I can look into...

Hello all, Today I found something interesting, but first a bit of a backstory/explanation; I set up several openvpn clients (with NordVPN) on my AC86U router running Merlin firmware and Diversion ad blocking so I could watch Netflix on my smart tv. I don't use the DNS pushed by the VPN (I...

How can I find the full list of the IP addresses to use for Netflix and other services (Hulu, Tidal, Pandora, etc.) when I enable policy-based routing as described in threads like this one? For example, if I ping hulu.com, I get an IP address: PING hulu.com (88.221.131.142) dig hulu.com gives...

I have an AC3200 and after installing Merlin about a week ago and updating to the latest build 384.6, I could no longer access Netflix on my Roku devices in the house (this was the same on both builds). All were reporting NW-2-5 errors which pointed to network connectivity. I followed the...

Hi guys! So...a simple one, but I can't quite fix it. Seems skynet is blocking the IMAGES on netflix. That means, the miniatures any netflix app or the browser version load of the shows on the main screen. So, if you go and blindly click anything, you get to see the trailer or even the movie/tv...
