Padavan Openvpn

[Abbey Synnott]

HiQandil, I might be able to help... It is very unlikely that an ethernet cable would be the problem (if you are getting 1000Mbps on your interface already) and that the power supply would be limiting the network speed (if your router is not freezing/rebooting). Can you please describe your network arrangement? What devices do you have connected? How are you measuring network speed?

I would appreciate that, basically, I use fast and speedometer to test the internet connection, right now if any device is connected to the main router ASUS RT87R am getting 250MBs from the same router I've connected another router which is the DLINK DIR-853 using a power adapter in the middle, both ends are using cat7 cables.

From the speeds you are getting, it doesn't seem to be an interface dropping the rate to 100Mbps. For better control of your tests, I'd suggest you using 2 computers, one hard-wired to the RT-AC87 and one to the DLINK 853. This should give you the actual local network bottleneck, and would allow you to segment the network (say without the DLINK or without the PA81010P) to see where the problem is.

Is that from the stock firmware? Yes that is correct you can.

Also the stock firmware will not accept anything else but its own firmware or the padavan.

The firmware needs to be encrypted as well as have the proper header for the stock firmware to even flash it.

Even when it flashes it it needs to be checked again for checksum at boot time and if it is corrupt it will flash back the stock firmware. If it is correct though it will overwrite the backup copy with padavan and this is where you have to be a bit more careful if you want to flash again something else.

Hello Mr @kar200 I have the router Dlink DIR-853 A3 from Etisalat and I want to get another software to connect it to another internet provider, can you please reupload the bin update file. I will be so pleased

First Of All Thanks For PADAVAN firmware(Dlink 853 A3) You Make Our Routers LIFE not alive

my basic concern for this post is i am in a situation i have 3 same routers (dlink 853 a3) before padavan firmware we are using them as a secondary router through wire(DHCP) and they are working fine (just for routing internet for other floor) and have no features like padavan. After padavan 2 of my routers are working fine like charm but 1 of them is stop working WiFi of padavan firmware even the WiFi leds become dead and i got a message in wireless and wired info section WIRELESS RADIO IS DISABLED i try everything which i know but now i am willing to revert it back to stock firmware just for Verifying that is there a bug while upgrading firmware(padavan) or a hardware issue and you are the only person who knows how to revert it back .WhatsApp Image 2021-04-26 at 5.30.19 PM975319 54.1 KB ![WhatsApp Image 2021-04-26 at 5.31.09 PM690x248]

Yes i have downloaded stock firmware but there is very little instructions on it i have tried to flash it back but failed.

can you please Guide me with specific right commands ( step by step ). and also can you share with me openwrt .

I tried entering this in ovpn but it did not help:

pull-filter ignore "redirect-gateway"

If I use the same ovpn file from my ubuntu box using command ovpn vpn_connection.ovpn, it works and my internet traffic goes via gateway defined before connecting openvpn.

When you use our recommended Dual-Router VPN setup, it makes initiating a VPN connection as easy as switching wireless networks, allowing all of your computers and devices quick, secure access to VPN encryption.

Almost any router with VPN capability could work with our service. However, we only offer ready VPN setup guides for routers using specific router firmware. Here is a list of routers compatible with each of the currently supported firmware types:

It may be possible to configure VPN use on stock or other firmware, provided it has VPN configuration options, but we would not have a ready guide for its use. You could try to find help with such a setup on the PIA forum:

I have 2 ASUS RT-AC88U routers; one for VPN and the other non-VPN. Ideally, I would like to just have one router, but use the guest WiFi network for VPN purposes, so I could just switch between WiFi networks when I want to connect to the internet via VPN or non-VPN.

I was successfully able to reach to the last step and I do get the green check mark, however none of my devices are able to access internet if I leave the openVPN activated. Not sure what is going on, I have to deactivate and then only my android phone and fire stick will be connected to internet. Any thoughts on that?

Found out what the issue was, basically whenever the openVPN was active, it would change the route settings and hence there were 3 routes with the interface (iface) tunX. So I had to remove those routes and once I did that, everything is working smoothly.

This information is extremely helpful. I have found documentation on VPN providers websites that support ASUSWRT for both ExpressVPN and NordVPN, specifically for the ASUS models. However I have received zero helpful information from IPVanish, and limited helpful information from Private Internet Access. How would I know which files I need to download and install if they absolutely offer no support regarding my needs? Any ideas?

Hi, I have set up IPVanish on my DSL-AC68U according to your instructions above however I am unable to get to any websites once I activate the vpn. I get the blue tick to say the connection is up but no websites will come up. Any ideas?

I signed up to IPVanish because they claim to have multiple servers in the Atlanta area. I downloaded the OpenVPN and certificate file. It did not work on my new ASUSWRT router. I had to cancel the service.

The handshake is the initial part of the VPN connection, where you and the VPN server securely exchange the 256-bit or 128-bit session encryption key. If the TLS handshake failed, most likely you either uploaded the wrong CA (certificate) file, or forgot to upload one altogether. Sometimes I forget to remember to save the changes after uploading the CA file also.

I came across this site/thread after much frustration trying to reach a goal. I recently upgraded to the Asus RT-AC5300 router. My current 3rd party VPN service is Private Internet Access (PIA). Support through email with them has been a challenge.

My goal:

1. Have the ethernet ports on my network to have my local ISP IP address. (Most of these items are smart plugs or low traffic type items).

2. First 5 GHz connected to VPN using PIA within the US on a server on the east coast.

3. Second 5GHz connected to VPN using PIA outside of the US (example UK)

Once I sign up for and begin using a VPN, will I have to learn how to use Server mode to access my ethercorded local network machines from remote locations using remote access software like Teamviewer, or will a VPN break their connectability functions?

I have been playing around recently with my AC88U and the VPN. No real issues so far with the exception of the VPN dropping out and all devices being exposed and the surprise of how much performance I lost with the connection. I have just applied the Merlin firmware and followed this tutorial ( =oBLS7Wkn0C4). Working well so far and thought I would and I have seen an improvement as the Merlin firmware also allows you to reduce the MTU setting in the custom scripts so another win. Finally I have used PIA, ToRVPN but have had the best performance with NordVPN (all of which were set up easily using the steps above)

Reason for asking: yesterday I purchased the same router just to setup a VPN client for PIA.

When I switched on the device it reported there was a firmware update, which I told it to install.

I configured everything to my best knowledge, as far as I can tell everything works, the connected devices have internet access, speed is about what it was before.

Here is a sys log after trying to activate my client. What do I need to do to get this to activate because Im just getting a blue X instead of a check mark? However my wan is showing connected. Sooo confused.

For example, if I select one of the London .ovpn files will I need to connect the IPVanish application on my computer to the exact same server? Or will it simply mean that my router connects to that server?

I have two routers I plan to set up with one being the VPN router. One router is the ASUS RT-Ac68P, and the second router is the ASUS RT AC3100 which is supposedly a more powerful router. Which one would you recommend using as the main router, and which one to use as the VPN router?

Hello,

I have PIA and was able to set it up on an Asus RT N66U with stock firmware as you explain. However, when VPN is connected I am losing 90% or more of my speed (from about 75 mbps to only 5-7 mbps).

If I connect an individual laptop (not the router), speed goes down from 75 to around 60, which is acceptable for me.

What is the reason for the speed being hit so hard when I connect the VPN on the router? Is there anything I can do to fix the speed issue (as I will not be able to use the VPN from the router at these speeds)?

Many thanks!

Did you end up figuring out the connectivity issue? Usually the ASUS router log can pinpoint the reasons for any VPN connection failure. For example, if you get an authorization error, then the username/password combo is wrong. With some VPNs you could also be using the wrong .ovpn files, but if memory serves PIA only has one set of .ovpn configs that get used for all devices.

A friend had a router-based openvpn setup on a linksys router. (ExpressVPN) It provided a very nice interface where you could easily switch between server choices and easily exclude or include specific devices. Yet when I installed the same software on an Asus router, no such exclusion/inclusion options are on the interface. Is there a way to do this?

I apologize if this has already been covered, but I recently purchased the RT-AC88u and am using for my home router. With all previous routers I have had, I could connect to home from my office using remote desktop. However, this router apparently does not allow this RD connection. I called up Asus and they said that I need third-party software to accomplish what I want to do. I hope I can find good advice on how to succeed with this here. Thank you for any comments! Joe
