All vpns I have are free and a lot of them are slow
Asus RT-AC86U + Asuswrt-merlin + OpenVPN = What speeds can I expect? Can I top a 1Gbps connection?
As I understand Asus RT-AC86U router has a build in AES Hardware Acceleration which takes the load off the CPU and does the encryption on-the-fly which is enabled in the Merlin Firmware. This should improve internet speeds over VPN.
I currently have a 400/20Mbps connection and will soon be upgrading to 1Gbit connection. Currently, I use a stock router that my ISP gave me without a VPN. I am looking to put all my devices on a VPN by using the Asus RT-AC86U router.
So my question is: Can anyone give me some real-world numbers on how this router performs with OpenVPN and Merlin firmware? Would I be able to come close to my internet top speed?
OpenVPN / Tunnelblick – auto retry connection with credential error
How can I get OpenVPN on MacOS to auto-retry a connection with a credential error?
I’d like to run the connection on startup and keep it connected without user interaction. I expect a disconnection on the ISP’s side to happen every now & then.
I’m using tunnelblick to manage connections and keep the connection running.
When the client gets disconnected and tries to reconnect, the server often doesn’t realise the user was disconnected, and as it only allows one connection per user it gives a login failure.
This would be fine if tunnelblick auto-retried the connection, but it asks for confirmation instead. The client machine isn’t always physically accessible when this happens so it will stay disconnected until a user manually authorises the reconnection.
