TNXĬlick to expand.Not quite let me try to put it differently. Thanks.ĮDIT: I asked this elsewhere, but what about Asuswrt-Merlin allows the use of the Tomato script, or could the native Asus firmware be used as well? DISCLAIMER: I've not tried either yet. FWIW, StrongVPN pushes their more expensive pre-configured routers as being more capable of handling the encryption overhead. Is that a dumbed-down paraphrase of what you mean? For example, my aging Netgear SRXN3205 seems to have plenty of power for its own VPN, but lags in wireless speed. But from what you say about consumer grade routers (i.e., my Asus RT-AC56U and RT-N66U), I am inferring that all of the hype about speed for these routers applies to wireless transmission rather than to anything dedicated to encryption.

After consulting with StrongVPN, they indicated that my router just didn't have the CPU capacity and indicated that, if I didn't need it (I didn't), disabling encryption would help. When I was using a low-end (Linksys E300) router overseas with DD-WRT and StrongVPN, the speed reduction for the already slow (~4-5mps!) but "fastest available" connection was about 75% (~1-2mps), which was just on the threshold of usability for my purposes (Netflix). I will be extremely grateful for any help and/or guidance on this issue. Unfortunately, StrongVPN does not support this router-firmware combination at this time. Openvpn: event_wait : Interrupted system call (code=4) Openvpn: Initialization Sequence Completed Openvpn: do_ifconfig, tt->ipv6=0, tt->did_ifconfig_ipv6_setup=0 Openvpn: TUN/TAP TX queue length set to 100 Openvpn: OPTIONS IMPORT: -ip-win32 and/or -dhcp-option options modified Openvpn: OPTIONS IMPORT: route-related options modified Openvpn: OPTIONS IMPORT: route options modified

Openvpn: OPTIONS IMPORT: -ifconfig/up options modified Openvpn: OPTIONS IMPORT: timers and/or timeouts modified If I remove the instruction " explicit-exit-notify 2" from the configuration file, the connection is established, but it is reset almost immediately, here is the log: Openvpn: Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in config.ovpn:46: explicit-exit-notify (2.3.2)Ģ. Tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6 Rc_service: httpd 309:notify_rc start_vpnclient1 When using the OpenVPN client configuration as provided by StrongVPN, which by the way works fine when used with the OpenVPN client for windows, the following message gets logged in the router: 33-Beta1), but running into a couple of problems I should mention that connection to another OpenVPN service provider is possible with this hardware-software setup.ġ. So here I am, trying to use StrongVPN service in an ASUS RT-AC66U with Asuswrt-Merlin Firmware (tried. First of all, I want to apologize in advance for maybe asking something already discussed somewhere else, but I can't find any information thus far.
