I use an Asus AC68 with merlin firmware as VPN client and I've never had your experience. If it's slow or throttled it is with either the router or Eddie. one thing to look at on the router is the status page with the CPU usage graph. make sure that both cores are being used when you're downloading something and openvpn is having to work hard. what that shows is that kernel work is done on one core while openvpn is running on the other core. if only one core is being used then try switching to another openvpn client in the web GUI as programming sometimes has different clients mapped to different cores. or you can just change core affinity using taskset via an SSH session.

I wouldn't be surprised if staff feel that USA already has enough bandwidth. And they seem to play tricks with the ranking of USA servers in Eddie client. I'm in USA. If the scoring rule is speed, Canadian servers get more stars (5 versus 0) than USA servers. There's no reason for that as the USA servers usually have less load and bandwidth is the same. Seems a little trick to get unsuspecting users to NOT use USA servers.

so I assume it will ask for password to decrypt?

I don't use pfsense so I'm not familiar with the screenshot. Just need to makes sure, then, that you're forwarding from the TUN device of the router to LAN.

is the router running as openvpn client as well? if so, you'll need to forward from TUN device to LAN device not WAN to LAN. if router is NOT running openvpn then no need to open ports at all on router and it can actually be a security hazard. in this case make sure your server is actually listening on the port AirVPN assigned for the forward and that there is no software firewall blocking.

wow, Furud will be happy to share the load.

Linux still isn't there. I installed Mint 17.2 on my laptop just a few days ago but I couldn't get satisfactory video out of it. I tried installing the latest drivers over the one supplied by kernel. Just too much tearing. (discrete nvidia card alongside intel onboard)

they are blocking Air. Air is not blocking.

interesting that you use SSL tunnel with AirVPN but you'll resort to PIA which doesn't have SSL tunnel capability. do you need the SSL tunnel?

Staff don't answer questions like this. what you are concerned with is in the past, right? If so, you might as well just move on with gained knowledge.

for ease, it looks as though pfsense sells hardware that will act as gateway/firewall/openvpn client/etc. I checked it out and even the lowest end comes with an intel chip that has AES-NI if I read correctly. I'm interested in getting one myself.

Will that accomplish what the OP wants - the "smart DNS" stuff that bypasses georestrictions? Either way, it's an interesting thought.

overclock an AC68 to 1200mhz and it can do 50mbit/s+ with AirVPN.

I have the same experience. My ISP has fairly unrestricted speeds to Dallas (where Etamin was). Beyond that I'm subject to throttling and SSL tunnel is the only thing that makes it satisfactory.

losing the GUI has happened to me in a VM of Mint 17.2 cinnamon, Eddie 2.10.3

if their throttling depends on port/protocol then perhaps. if you're talking a general throttle because you've already reached a certain data usage threshold then no.

use the latest AirVPN client and test different send and receive buffers in advanced settings. however, my guess is that your ISP is throttling openvpn connections. try the SSL Tunnel (in protocol settings) as that should defeat their deep packet inspection

If you don't understand things just rank the servers by stars (more stars are better) and connect to those servers.

You want staff to confirm?? Then read the link I posted in my reply above. I get the feeling you don't know what it means to run openVPN on the router.

Do the ovpn configs have resolved hosts in them? if not, the DNS request is probably being blocked.

you should try asking the makers of the openvpn connect app maybe?

Staff, any update on a replacement for Etamin?

then this is the way you do it. https://airvpn.org/topic/9270-how-to-forward-ports-in-dd-wrt-tomato-with-iptables/?hl=%2Biptables+%2Btomato+%2Bport This doesn't apply to me as I am using the Merlin Firmware and not Tomato. It has a graphical section for port forwarding, which I have set up correctly as far as I can see, and no access to an iptables config. no, that is what you do. SSH into the router and input the proper IPtables as that guide shows. the router GUI forwards ports from the WAN to LAN. When connected to VPN you must forward ports from TUN to LAN.

just need to make sure....you are running VPN on the router? the answer depends on that.
