I consider myself to generally to be quite technical but realistically I'm not!
I have been trying for quite a while to get a Wireguard VPN client running on a router with policy based rules but I couldn't manage it. I recently found out that both Asuswrt and Asuswrt-Merlin had introduced support for it so I bought myself an RT-AX86U Pro. I have flashed it with Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 and set up a (Surfshark) VPN client and added a VPN Director rule for my main desktop PC.
I have gigabit FTTP broadband which gets me about 930/98 Mbps.
I have now run 2 speedtests through the VPN and got speeds of 485/53 and 370/61.
Those speeds are great but (!) I would have thought that I would have done better with Wireguard.
