sakmerlin37 1 Posted ... I used an early VPN system for work and I was not impressed with its performance; however, it was all we had then and it worked for that purpose. I had been looking at a VPN provider and decided to try out AirVPN based on a lot of research into their Privacy Policy and Terms of Agreement. I have to say that I am impressed. Further, I have tried several different servers from the US & the EU and my connection speeds are fantastic! I live in a remote place and was pleasantly surprised to see minimal impact on my network speed. I have now set up a Linksys WRT54GL router with AirVPN setup through the OpenVPN client found in Toastman's version of the Tomato firmware. It is a wonderful piece of engineering. Now all my traffic is routed through the AirVPN service and I am well-pleased with how easy it was to setup (all things considered). 1. First & foremost, if you do want to flash a WRT54GL Linksys router, make sure you do so using the MINI version (I used the ND/2.4 kernel branch) first and THEN update it with the full-fledged Toastman Tomato VPN image. I almost bricked my brand-new router by going straight for the heavy version. 2. Setting up the AirVPN is a snap, just do not forget to click on the little box that is found in Section "3. Connection Mode" under "Advanced" which says "Resolved hosts in .ovpn file" ! I did not see that at first and could not figure out to what portion of the (dot)ovpn file the instructions referred. I and my family will be purchasing several years worth of service from this company, with a few caveats: a. Keep up the excellent service;b. The company continues to respect individual privacy rights (as an example, read how the owner of Lavabit.com - an email provider - shut down his operation rather than give all his clients' information away);c. and that is it! Thank you for such an excellent product. I highly recommend your services to family and friends. 1 OpenSourcerer reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
