Yes, I do have a 200MB down connection, so I'd really be slowing things down.Īlso, are there any VPN providers that anyone would recommend ? I've looked at ExpressVPN only.

That's pretty dismal if a VPN cuts down the speed that much Merlin235, but it looks like something that one just has to live with. With StrongVPN I need to go to their web site and download a new file.

With Astrill I have a list of 200+ servers stored on my PC that I can use. All you need to do is download the VPN providers ovpn file(s), sometimes you may need to edit it to include your user name and password, then uploading the file from your PC it by clicking the upload button on your router and then starting it. Third if you want to regualry change VPN servers it is trivial with some VPN providers. It has excellent VPN functionality as well as other features that the stock firmware doesn't have. Second if you are going to run a VPN flash Merlin's enhanced tweaked software onto your router. In my case running a VPN on an AC1900P which has a faster 1400 Mhz processor is only around 50 - 55 Mbps In fact if you have a download speed of over 100 Mbps your VPN speeds will actually decrease. If I go this route, would it be best to just download several files and change remote site locations every few days ? That's the only thing I don't like about this type of setup, is always connecting to one site.įirmware is 3.0.0.4.380.7378 if this helps, latest since I've checked.įirst the AC68 has just an OK processor speed so you will be doing well get a download speed of 40 - 50 Mbps using a VPN even if your speed from your ISP is higher. I see that many VPN services allow manual configuration of my stock router, but to only one remote site. I've had good luck with flashing, cross my fingers. Would it be better to go with a packaged VPN router, or try to 'roll my own' with the tomato software if necessary. I log onto my Linux PC occasionally to check e-mail and go to a limited number of sites other PC is a Windows PC. I have 3 Roku devices, 2 Ipads, and 2 Iphones which access the net occasionally, with most use being by one of the Roku devices. What I'd like to do is set up a VPN for my small network, which uses an Asus RT-AC68U router.
