    VPN Performance by Core Assignment

    Does the version of Wireguard that runs on Asus AX routers use one or multiple cores ? If two VPNs (OpenVPN or Wireguard) were in use at the same time on an Asus AX router, would the performance be remarkably different on an RT-AX68U versus an RT-AX86U ?

    384.18 -> 386.5: What is the impact to INBOUND OpenVPN server running on RT-AC86U?

    Advance apologies if this is a really stupid question: I currently run 384.18 on an RT-AC86U with inbound OpenVPN. I only have one inbound user (from another UU country) with OpenVPN configured to NOT allow ingress into my network, simply to redirect into UK internet so that user can access...

    Hi I have a Asus GT-AX11000 router where I before used Asuswrt and used OpenVPN, then I could use the original fixed IP-address to access the router. 10 days ago I changed to Merlin (with the same setup), then the original fixed IP-address no longer responds when using OpenVPN. I use Synology...

    I have Merlin 386.4 on my RT-AC68U router. I configured TUN OpenVPN, but all my VPN clients are getting same IP 10.8.0.2. Because of this, obviously, the clients are getting disconnected each other.

    IPv6 OpenVPN server on Synology

    Hello, I'm trying to run an OpenVPN server over ipv6. Synology NAS needs to have ipv6 configured using DPHCv6-pd in order to enable ipv6 in OpenVPN settings. Unfortunately, in this case, the NAS will not receive any prefix. IPv6 works when set to automatic. Synology requires a "properly"...

    Evening, Recently switch to Asuswrt-Merlin and imported an OpenVPN configuration file. This config is rather large... Is there a way to edit how long the "Custom Configuration" box can hold? It seems to be limited to 4,207 characters. I need it to be in the range of 17,000 characters Note...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    I committed the cardinal sin of updating my RT-AC68U's firmware (to 386.4) without backing up the configuration. (I do have a backup, but it's a few months old, and I'd rather just roll-forward with a fix than roll-back.) I only noticed and learned about the VPN Director after seeing my...
