I was told there is a way to make certain devices either use or bypass the VPN via their respective I.P. address in the Asus Merlin firmware. If anyone could elaborate on that; it would help me. I just upgraded to the Merlin Firmware. It allows me to assign an I.P. address to each persons...

Do you have a link to this smallnetbulder forum? I did a search and cannot find it.

I looked at the Merlin website and I saw a way that may be possible. With Merlin you can assign a static I.P. address to a particular devices mac address. So I could look at the phones' mac address and assign it a static I.P. address. Then I could go and supposedly tell the router not to...

So the Merlin software has the ability to bypass an actively running VPN? You said it does it via I.P. address. Well the router may dish out I.P. addresses that are different each day as long as they are within the specified range I previously set, which means I would probably have to go...

I just bought the Asus RT-AC68U and it is a very capable router with many features, even with just the stock firmware. But Tomato and Advanced Tomato can be flashed onto it if needed. I do not know much about those firmwares though. I would be willing to upgrade the firmware and flash to the...

Well what would you recommend? The Apple TV has settings to allow you to put in a proxy and then you could use one of those DNS services that will change your I.P. address before sending your communications to the streaming service such as "Netflix" or "CBS All Access", But the Roku has no...

Well I am not concerned with it being 4K. But I would like to make this work somehow. I know VPN endpoint to VPN endpoint is good for if you are doing home computer to home computer, but I am not doing that. I would need to have access to a U.S. based VPN server that would accept a...

======================================================= Could you recommend a good VPN to get? I bought that one for $26.00 It being that it is not really for business use; do you think it would still work for my use? I do prefer Linksys though. I don't want to have to spend...

So is there a way to configure the WAN and LAN ports for different subnets? I know that inside the Linksys; I saw a menu for configuring the subnet, but I assume it means the LAN ports. I can confirm that the LAN ports are on the same subnet that I configured within the Linksys GUI user...

I am living out of the country some times of the year and I find that I need my VPN to be used in order to get full access to all the Internet services I am used to when I live in the United States. The ISP here uses a Huawei HG8245H5 router. That router is a router that connects directly to a...
