Since I’ve bought this router, I’ve had to restart it 4 times to get the vpn to work again. Wondering if this is typical and would be any better using Merlin firmware?
I tried the official stable and beta releases with no differences
Sounds like your VPN provider might be the problem if a new tunnel config is needed to get things working again.Didn't mean to add this here but don't see an option to delete
But ultimately it's not a restart issue - I need to create a new tunnel for it to work
That it would be wireguard? What I've set up via the asus vpn page?Sounds like your VPN provider might be the problem if a new tunnel config is needed to get things working again.
