Hi all,
This is my situation:
I have monitored the CPU and memory usage of the router when things go bad, but it doesn't seem to reach 100% ever, perhaps memory peaks at 60% and CPU goes up and down, from about 20% to 60%.
My question is the following: am I asking too much to my router? First day I tested with only 1 VPN tunnel, things seem normal, but with the second VPN tunnel running at the same time, the internet connection is just unbearable on all devices.
Is there any hardware (or maybe configuration) that you would recommend to have 2 (or more) VPN tunnels connected at the same time without any major hiccups?
Appreciate any guidance or advice you can provide me.
Cheers.
This is my situation:
- Hardware: ASUS RT-AC66U_B1
- Software: Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7_2
- VPN Configuration: 2 OpenVPN clients running simultaneously connected to NordVPN, using their standard configuration.
- Network configuration:
- OVPN1 routes traffic from subnet x.x.x.0/26.
- OVPN2 routes traffic from subnet x.x.x.64/26.
- Traffic from subnets x.x.x.128/26 and x.x.x.192/26 has no VPN.
- Clients:
- OVPN1 handles traffic for about 7 devices, e.g. cellphones, laptop, smart appliances, video games.
- OVPN2 handles traffic for 3 devices, mostly streaming, including a 4K TV.
- Traffic that flows without a VPN is mainly a work computer that uses its own VPN.
