  1. Great video, but I would advice to add "…VPN Client…" to the title of this video, as you're setting a client and not a server, I was looking for a setup for VPN client, and I didn't check your video earlier because I thought it was setting a server. I believe by adding client, you will have more views from people who are looking exactly at what you're showing. other than that, excellent tutorial.

  2. The downside to this is, as opposed to using the vpn on the clients , instead of on the router, is that every time you want to enable/disable it, you have to reboot the router, not super convenient. But works.

  3. What about Suncomm VPN routers with Wireguard installed. I would like to know set up on this with VPN provider that allow Wireguard protocol accesses. Thanks. 😊

  4. The tutorial is great, BUT, since OpenWRT upgraded its version, some parts have varied and I'm unable to complete the instalation of the shurfshark Wireless on the router (raspberry Pi 4 in my case). It could be great if you could PLEASE update it.

  5. I know I'm late to this party but I followed the instructions and all I see is packets being sent and nothing received. Follows the instructions to the letter.

  6. Acabei de comprar também o One Surfshark, VPN, tenho Um roteador ASUS AX7800 XTP e tenho o Wiregard, mas não consigo mudar a região pede sempre para desativar o perfil e não sei como, antes de mudar a região do IP. Obrigado

  7. I have followed this video and it appears to be working, it is on the updated firmware but I seem to have the keys ok – but can I ask – this is for all IP's on my network, how can I specify 1 or 2 IP's only to route via the VPN and all other traffic to be 'normal' – I guess it is somewhere in 'Allowed IP's'?

  8. Can you post a video on the process for AsusWRT routers with stock firmware such as the XT8 mesh system? I would like to use the Asus VPN Fusion functionality to run my cameras, a Roku and a security alarm system through a Wireguard tunnel. Thanks.
