I recently upgraded from an RT-AC3100 to the RT-AC86U, and wow... made a WORLD of difference from the VPN side of the house. My speeds have been 5x-6x better than what the 3100 was giving me on ExpressVPN. Only one main drawback that I have not been able to resolve -- ie. for some reason, the "Custom Configuration" window under the VPN client seems to have a size limitation on the 86U... yet, there didn't seem to be a similar size limitation on the inferior 3100, since it never gave me issues with the size of my script. Weird!
I've been able to chop down my custom config a bit to keep things working on the 86U, but I'd like to get back to my old config. I was reading up that you could make use of the openvpnclientX.postconf script as a remedy to this? So I had some questions... not being a major scripting guru:
1.) Can I just pop my original config into this file, and save it under /jffs/scripts?
2.) Do I have to abide by any scripting language/lingo in this file, or just dump it in and save?
3.) Once this file is placed out under /jffs/scripts, I assume I can just I blank out the contents of my current "Custom Configuration" window and save?
4.) Anything else I need to worry about?
Thanks in advance for your help & advice!
Note: Stuff like this (below) kinda scares me... from the readme (https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Custom-config-files)
" Note that postconf scripts are blocking the firmware while they run, to ensure the service only gets started once the script is done. Make sure those scripts do exit properly, or the router will be stuck during boot, requiring a factory default reset to recover it. "
