    I am currently using an ASUS router (RT-AC68U with Merlin firmware - 386.4). I want to connect a single client to an OpenVPN server with no traffic other than the VPN allowed. I don't want to use the OpenVPN client in the router as speeds are low when using the VPN, so I'm looking to use an...

    Turn VPN off via Asus App?

    Is it possible to turn my VPN off/on with the Asus Router app? Basically there are certain times when I don't want the VPN enabled, and being able to turn it on via the app would be much easier than logging into the web browser, unless there is an alternate way? Thanks,

    Since upgrading to firmware 386.3_2, my Internet will not stay connected for even a day.

    I have been running Merlin firmware on my RT-AC86U since 2018. It's been rock solid, rarely requiring my attention. I've been using ExpressVPN since then as well. Again, no problems. I upgraded to 386.3_2 in October. Since then, my Internet connection has not been reliable. Some of my...

    Solved Do I need any VPN Director policy rules?

    I see a lot of references to "strict policy routing" or "policy based routing". For example, this post: Referring to the Merlin Wiki page Policy based routing · RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng Wiki leaves me unsure about policy settings with firmware 386.3_2 or later. Currently I have this setting...

    DNS-OVER-TLS AND VPN — 3.0.0.4.386.45956

    Now that asuswrt-official [RT-AC86U] supports DNS-over-TLS …. well, actually, do we care? What I mean to say is: If I already use a VPN (PIA)—currently only on individual clients since I’m using the ASUS stock firmware again—whereby DNS lookups are encrypted, (by the VPN—to the VPN DNS), … (1)...
