Subject: The Asus + Merlin + NordVPN router never disconnects from the internet when NordVPN stops working for a moment.
Good morning,
I have an Asus RT-AC86U router with the latest firmware from Merlin and NordVPN.
When NordVPN shuts down, you never know when, the router continues to work, and therefore it shows the real IP address. Which is unsafe and really annoying and stressful.
On the other hand, if I use the NordVPN application only, without a VPN on the router, and NordVPN stops working, then I no longer have access to the Internet. Which is normal, and that is what I want.
It seems that Merlin's Kill switch does not work, at least it never worked for me.
Or else I do not know how to configure it correctly so that the Internet connection stops working when NordVPN is not working.
I do not know if anyone knows what to do and if they have the time to describe, from A to Z, all the steps to take so that Asus + Merlin + NordVPN can work and that if NordVPN stops, no longer have an Internet connection.
In other words, I would like to have what NordVPN offers me with its software on Asus + Merlin hardware.
If you do not know, no need to answer me. In addition, there is no need to put links that refer to others, etc. and which ultimately explain nothing.
Alternatively, you know or not. It seems to me that this is clear. Sorry, but we answer correctly, or we skip the questions.
Thanks
