I found this forum and was wondering if maybe there is someone here who can help me. I`m currently using ExpressVPN and besides from time to time NordVPN on my Asus RT-AC68U Router. Because I have a Cable-Connection from my ISP I had to put the Router behind my Fritzbox 6360 Cable. I set the Asus Router as "Exposed Host" on my Fritzbox so there is no issue with the Firewall. A thing I need to mention is, that my ISP modified the Fritzbox so much, that even the Bridge-Mode on the Asus Router simply doesn`t work.
I`m facing weird Connection-Issues, no matter which Server I choose from, I`m getting 100K by my ISP but on OpenVPN (UDP) I`m just getting a max of 25K. No matter if on NordVPN or ExpressVPN, it seems like something or someone set my Connection on VPN to that Maximum.
When I`m using both VPN-Services on my Android Smartphone (normal connection by ISP / Client of the VPN Provider), they`re much faster, normally both like 40-50k in Download Speed and I think I could exprect that on my Router as well.
I managed to increase Speed on my Router first by switching the Firmware from Stock to Merlin. Before I used Merlin I had the same problem, just with a bandwith of 17k max.
I already tested some Optional Commands for some VPN-Config files like LZO-Compression, changing the values for mssfix and tun-value but no speed increase so far.
