Hi,
Purchased a asus ac68u and updated the firmware successfully to the latest merlin build. The reason for merlin was due to being able to have selective vpn.
Im new to the general router / vpn scene so i apologize upfront for the lack of knowledge. What i would like to be able to do this the following;
My question is how would i go about setting this up?
I have a TorGuard account and have downloaded the openvpn setting config file from them and uploaded into merlin. I activated the vpn server/client settings using the torguard default settings, and i noticed right away that everything slowed down. I lost internet connection and the asus router page was very slow. I guess this is due to the vpn.
If you could point me in a general direction on how to setup or help with advice i would be greatful. I have read a number of conflicting posts on other forums, so i thought best come to the right place. Especially with the merlin build.
thanks guys

- remotely check the router settings over internet via vpn (i was able to setup a no-ip.com ddns and opened port80, then tried port forward, and this worked remotely. However, i disabled as too much of a security concern)
- run my lorex camera nvr setup remotely secure through vpn. I have an nvr and also tinycampro which i would like to use. I know lorex have their own ddns but again, i assume this can be hacked and vpn is a more secure option.
