Happy Holidays to all and best wishes for 2019....
I have had my trusty RT-AC68U running Merlin for several years now. Love it!
My use case is nothing too weird. I run an unRAID server at home. I run Plex and and do some downloading. I do not stream things like Netflix or Hula. I do let some friends use my Plex (so I stream outside I guess). My kids do play games on PC and Xbox. I am in the UK...
So my questions:
1) Do I keep running my RT-AC68U or is there a new router out there, Merlin friendly that would be worth getting? Just curious as I have had the RT-AC68U since it came out. My gut says keep running....
2) Is there a "Merlin Friendly" VPN out there that folks like? I am considering ExpressVPN (expensive), CyberGhost, PrivateInternetAccess or NordVPN. I will be pointing to the UK for the most part (just for privacy). Or any other candidates?
Many thanks and happy 2019!
