if you can install optware or entware on the router (eg on a usb memory stick attached) then you should be able to install stunnel I am doing so on my Asus AC68 with merlin firmware.

no doubt there is a lot of internet terrorism going on. ddos attacks and such. one of the private bittorrent trackers I use has been pretty much offline for a couple weeks now. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if datacenters that Air uses are under attack.

in my experience this happens when my MTU settings are incorrect. When I just leave it alone, no problem. I run VPN from router, BTW.

Yep, the AC87 is one that will do very well.

99% chance this is a routing change with your ISP. sorry about that. I'm in Asia too. Since Antares came online routing from my place has been horrible until the last week. Suddenly it's good. I guess we traded luck.

yep, that's a 560mhz MIPS chip - not up to the task at all. I recommend something with an ARM chip running at least 1000 mhz.

wow, scumbags using DPI to throttle what they can't spy on.

sounds like a DNS problem to me. have you tried pinging an IP address or just an unresolved name?

I have the ac68 with merlin firmware and can get 35mbit/s which is my ISP connection max. Looking at the CPU usage, I'm sure I can go significantly faster. Perhaps it's because you are using shibby tomato? Of course, it also depends on what server you are using and your ISP's bandwidth from that server back to your computer.

the guide is wrong. you need to enable extra HMAC auth. outgoing and then it should work.

yeah, disabling no script was needed, not simply allowing scripts was enough. Thanks!

I have a 1 month subscription with seedboxes.cc. But how safe is a seedbox? I feel much safer downloading/seeding from my home connection while connected via AirVPN. Before I was always using the usenet. But sharing the files with others is much more fun. sign up for seedbox with a fake name, pay with bitcoin you bought with cash, and keep using VPN to retrive stuff from seedbox.

I get an error for the in-tunnel test "0 - error - ". Any idea what the problem is?

for me (living in Thailand), routing to Antares also goes through USA, then to Singapore. I've seen another ISP in country that has fine routing to Antares. However, I've also tested routing to Antares via a VPN gateway in Bangkok, a third ISP, if you will, and it also has terrible routing to Antares. My impression is that Leaseweb's datacenter in Sg isn't well connected.

Yeah, seedboxes.cc. I told you. ;-) I usually catch torrents right when they are announced via irssi bot...but when I d/l a torrent with a lot of seeders I reach 100MB/s. vampire box using rtorrent

interesting. I think you should try this same testing connected to a different AirVPN gateway to see if the pattern holds.

Links are sometimes helpful... https://www.datenzone.de/blog/2012/01/installing-stunnel-on-openwrt/ Do you only have to install stunnel and download the ssh-vpn file? for stunnel it's the ssl configuration. it's pretty simple and ipkg should install any dependencies (for stunnel) that aren't already installed. you just have to use the proper ovpn config for openvpn in conjunction.

yes, with optware and installing stunnel.

Hello! Yes, it is mandatory, no UDP support by SSH as you can imagine. So you have overhead by additional SSH tunnel and on top of that OpenVPN forced to work in TCP mode (which, for how OpenVPN works, will be slower and less efficient than UDP). You should never use this mode unless you absolutely need it for some reason (for example to bypass OpenVPN disruption or extreme shaping). Kind regards LOL, so it was a dumb question. But, I'm no expert.... Here in Thailand they have apparently made VPN usage illegal because they want to monitor heavily. Thus my attempt to hide my use of openvpn by ssh tunnel. if my routing to the singapore servers was proper I think the ssh tunnel would work just fine because the latency would be low. But, the lowest latency server to me is 240ms and up and depends on the time of day. TCP just doesn't work well at those latencies.

If you can get something like optware installed then you should be able to run it. I have optware installed on my asus ac68 with merlin firmware onto a USB memory stick. I had to install bash and openssh with ipkg. Bash runs the script, openssh is called therein. So far no problems connecting and with stability, but speeds are much slower than "naked" openvpn run with the same router. Not slower because of CPU usage but because it's a TCP connection I surmise. If the staff are watching, is TCP required for ssh tunnel setup? sorry if a dumb question.

Just want to get an update from those who were having high latency to the new Sg servers. My problems still exist. I've sent several emails to my ISP with MTR results. No reply and no fix as of yet. The current political and governmental state in Thailand may account for their inactivity.

Just curious what router you are using. QoS is bandwidth management. You are safe to just disable it altogether.

The only time you forward ports on your router is when it is making the VPN connection. Since you are using a VPN client in mint then you need to leave your router alone. I don't know what to say for your other questions.

I'm not a network expert either when it comes to how all the ISP and major worldwide networks work together. I have seen an instance in the past where I contacted my ISP to let them know of a similar problem and it was fixed. Whether or not it was fixed because of my email I'll never know. It could be that I just caught them at a bad time. Networks have to work together for internet traffic to flow. Sometimes that means money has to be exchanged. Sometimes that means that our ISP may not have rights to pass data onto another network. The ISP at work obviously has peerage or IP transit rights that take me direct to Antares. For my home ISP, it may also be a method of censorship. I've come to this conclusion because there are two other instances of this problem I've had with my ISP and they were both with other VPN providers. This makes the third. If you contact your ISP, send them the text of your traceroute.
