How to setup VPN Fusion on Asus Routers

FEATURE DESCRIPTION
VPN (Virtual Private Network) clients are often used to connect to a VPN server to access private resources securely over a public network.
Some devices like set-top boxes, smart TVs and Blu-ray players do not support VPN software.
The ASUSWRT VPN feature provides VPN access to all devices in a home network without having to install VPN software on each device.

crazy how hard it was to find this video thank you!

[@ShroomTrooper69]

Right! VPN fusion information is so hard to find!

[@ShroomTrooper69]

This video is one of a kind at the moment. No one has explained this as good as you did.

Can you please make a tutorial how to set Wireguard in VPN Fusion?

[@oldys4ever]

you might be the greatest content creator on asus routers and their programs.

[@EclipseReviews]

Very kind of you, I am sure there is better people :)

[@user-mg9zq5go4g]

thanks for this video!

[@lstanford23]

I am also looking for videos on how to setup the Wireguard feature. I've had some problems getting that working.

[@user-tr9sg2rl3z]

Thank you , this is so helpful . My question is , so any device that will be connected to this router , the IP address will show as 'United Kindom' ? Because that is what i chose . And i also turned on the 'apply to all devices'.

[@jonv78]

Great video, thanks! Can you make another video where you install with wireguard? Asus fusion-->VPN type-->wireguard-->NordVPN? Thanks again:)

[@chrisjackers5369]

I really want to know this too, if anyone has any links to vids that do plz share

[@drewwhite6865]

Yes - echoing others.. Tutorial is idea, but wireguard version needed!

[@Nigellittle12]

That would be amazing. I'm looking to do this to.

[@AlexManMe]

Yes please

[@neutron-5]

Very helpful video as always. I do have a question. Have you tried to connect any of your devices using Wireguard and did it work? Did you achieve much better download speeds? Thanks.

[@abneryokum]

This is an amazingly good video. Thank you!

[@lrpreda]

Great video, would be great if they could enable a VPN for a Guest Wireless. So we could connect location by demand.

[@Placesandspaces35]

In the Merlin Firmware the YazFi program guest network enhancement may have something as to what you commented about. There is an option to “direct all to vpn” on the guest network. May be worth a look.

[@richardschmitt2881]

Can't thank you enough. I was extremely frustrated trying to figure this out

[@muffmat]

thx, was really helpful

[@EclipseReviews]

Glad it helped!

Just letting you know, you didn't blur your nord username in part of the vid.

[@bennygordon5898]

What is the URL for the page where you download the ovpn files?

[@wrojas9384]

Thanks for the information. Can I install the same NordVPN to my cell and router at same time?

[@EclipseReviews]

Yes you can install the NordVPN app to other devices at the sametime without any issues

[@laurencehyde2168]

Thanks for video. Cannot connect to Australia via open VPN Nord UK works but cannot stream I view from australia.any advice?

[@EclipseReviews]

I did have issues with some of the Nord VPN servers connecting, sadly I just downloaded a few of the server's config files and tested them until I could find one that worked. Link to the config page: nordvpn.com/servers/

[@AlexManMe]

Black Friday soon, which Asus router would you recommend about the 100 to 200 quid mark, small home relatively new so no dead spots really

[@EclipseReviews]

Looking at some of the deals out currently, the Asus RT-AXE7800 looks a good deal at £212 and is Wi-Fi 6E so is future proof and will last years. (amzn.to/3szm9wC) When looking anything with WiFi 6 is still great, it Wi-Fi 6E will make it last longer and you will not need to upgrade for for a few year or more. Even with WiFi 7 out devices will not really start to become mainstream till late next year the earliest and then it will be one high end devices. A 2.5gb Ethernet port is good to have as well. Hope this helps.

[@AlexManMe]

@@EclipseReviews cheers mate, does this support the VPN fusion as well as the mobile tethering?

[@tylerdurden1255]

I have had expressVPN since 2016 and I have no complaints. The speeds don't decrease all that much as long as I use my closest server in a neighboring state and even across the pond I still have a plenty stable and fastest enough connection. I have also never received a C&D while using my Express VPN (I'm not perfect, ok).

[@gosh7001]

is there a way to create a type kill switch for clients that need to use the VPN setup only? I don't want some clients to ever go through the WAN interface - only through VPN?

[@EclipseReviews]

All connections have to go though the WAN connection, but if you specify which devices have to go via the VPN connection then these devices will only send/receive data via the encrypted VPN connection and see that IP address / Country if changed.

[@drgracious7645]

I just have one question. How many simultanious OpenVPN connections can you do at the time. Is it limited to 2 ? Or is your server limited to more ? And what numver ? I have gt-ax6000 , and this is limited to 2 concurrent active VPN connections.

[@EclipseReviews]

This depends on the Asus router, as just checked my Asus GT-AXE16000 and shows under OpenVPN: Allowed Clients (Max Limit: 128)

[@drgracious7645]

@@EclipseReviews Hello, sadly now, your gt-axe16000 can handle 4 fifferent concurrent vpn connections. And 128 clients shared between them My gt-ax6000 can handle 2 and 64 clients shared between them.

[@eightballah]

@@drgracious7645 Hi, do you know whats the limit of simultanious WireGuard connections?

[@aggronomisblodgarm1478]

I'm trying to use my android phone to do this for my router and for whatever reason I can't see the openvpn config file when I try to export/download it, says downloading file but nothing ever shows up

[@EclipseReviews]

It may be an ad blocker plugin or security app on you phone stopping the download. I just tried using Chrome browser on my Pixel and downloads , but does not show anything. But when I go to the downloads folder it’s saved. Or the only other thing would be to use a desktop pc.

[@christophg6174]

Thx for the Video.What happens if VPN Connection is lost ? Will the device take normal Internet Connection ? I cant find Asus VPN Fusion documentations :(

[@drgracious7645]

Im just testing this out. Lets see how it turns out.

[@christophg6174]

[@lewis_evefps3546]

are there any vpn setups for ROG / Asus routers that are good for China? I am in china right now, and I am looking for a VPN for use at home, on my ROG router

[@EclipseReviews]

China blocks VPN servers as soon as someone tries to finds one that works. I used Nord VPN when in Shenzhen

[@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog]

Can you exempt certain devices from using a vpn?

[@drgracious7645]

You can add certain devices to use VPN, and you just leave all other devices to use the usual internet connection.

[@VVesson]

VPN nowadays becomes sort of internet personal hygiene

[@user-nk7lq8bq5u]

Why don’t you use wireguard instead much faster.

[@EclipseReviews]

I had issues with WireGuard on my mobiles devices. But want to swap over as you say to make things quicker.
