Good Morning

Running Merlin's Build 40 Beta3 (AC68U)

I have been reading about Asus VPN Service and i ended up watching this video .

looks and sounds easy , but the questions are

1 - Is it possible to use the VPNBook Service in Asus router and get it running for all devices connected to the router without setting up VPN profile in each device ? and How ?


2 - What is the difference between PPTP VPN and OpenVPN ?

3 - When choosing the OpenVPN service and "US OpenVPN Certificate Bundle"
I end up getting 4 Certificates which one to use ?

A - vpnbook-us1-tcp80.ovpn
B - vpnbook-us1-tcp443.ovpn
C - vpnbook-us1-udp53.ovpn
D - vpnbook-us1-udp25000.ovpn

4 - Dose "no p2p downloading" means no Torrent ?

Yes, just configure the client on the router.

2 - What is the difference between PPTP VPN and OpenVPN ?

PPTP is an older technology that is built-in Windows. OpenVPN is a far more advanced VPN solution that is open-sourced, offers more features and better security, but might be more complicated to configure. However if you just import the .ovpn file provided by vpnbook, OpenVPN should be nearly as easy to configure in this case.

Those all use different protocols and ports. Some ISPs might block non-standard ports for example, in which case the first case that uses port 80 would work better.

Personally I recommend going with the second one - port 443 is the standard port for SSL websites.

4 - Dose "no p2p downloading" means no Torrent ?

Torrents are indeed a form of P2P. Same with eDonkey/Emule.

Probably the price to pay for a free service.
