Israeli_Eagle Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Be careful, guys! Most routers simply not have enough power to encrypt & decrypt all your bandwidth! Most often only one small CPU core and without AES extension sets, impossible to crypt hundreds mbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nIGHT Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I had read somewhere that vpn can still be traced back using port forwarding, NAT upnp. Maybe, it's a good thing to disable it when using vpn and anonymity is of high concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruinator Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Do you guys think it is a better to leave router as is and just use a software vpn like PIA? your thoughts? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of VPNs don't even allow you to forward ports through them, and it was a VPN server-side issue, and therefore outside of your control.

Better to use the software method and block unprotected connection with firewall antivirus. This is in case if a built-in software killswitch not work.

And if you need a strong VPN router for a big LAN then simply make a strong PC as router. And as software I prefer the pure OpenVPN drivers as service, but no App or such.

This is in case if a built-in software killswitch not work. I find it more likely software on a big OS can fail moreso than a router. When I had killswitch on the OS side, common for the OS to drop connection, then fail to connect back because it's trying to route the reconnect over a dead connection (possibly even DNS resolving as well). Then you had to disable/renable all network adapters, then get a 2 minute window where no VPN + working internet while connecting. So you can foil the killswitch on your OS probably by disabling and reenabling adapters, though that's probably OS dependent. I've never had to mess with my router VPN, not for months, and nothing leaks. Also, it has a Linux firewall and I can ban ports router level easily. I run my whole network with a few exceptions over the VPN. This would use up more slots than I have if I installed software on other devices. Also, I can VPN devices that can't run software. Want to VPN your game console, trading minor delay (my internet is good enough to not see a difference and I only have 50Mbps, others have 6X that speed and then some), for not getting hacked and booted by butthurt scrubs? You can't run OpenVPN on a damn PS4, but you can make it go over VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't run OpenVPN on a damn PS4, but you can make it go over VPN. I, too, all the traffic goes through the VPN.For my router is only one custom firmware to support openVPN. This "padavan firmware". But I encountered a few difficulties in its use and had to be abandoned.The first is that the router had a weak CPU and this is very much influenced my speed in the torrent, and etc. The second is that the router always pass non protected traffic to a computer before boot openVPN. And third, when the VPN server go down, he again pass the unprotected traffic. None of the script does not help fix these problems. So I use the software method. In the ESS 9 firewall I blocked router ip range from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255. Allow access only executable files vpn app. Now fully protected and no leaks. PS: There is another reason not to use a router with openVPN. Security custom firmware under question. I do not want that someone stole my data or my router turned into a bot for ddos attacks.

About torrent and unprotected traffic etc: In most good programs (like qBittorrent) you can simply set only one gateway (for example TAP). And router firmware: I prefer DD-WRT.
