| Test using Voxi sim works fantastic on this 4G router. Happy! Now getting more technical. I am not technical technical person. Just above average techie digital marketer.... Goal: setup vpn client (surfshark) in this router. VPN location: Hong Kong WL-R100 OpenVPN setup page is a Tomato router firmware. So the setup should follow the Tomato router settings on Surfshark. Step 1: you need to pay the service here is the referral link Step 2: Get the VPN login setup required details. Login to your Surfshark account and go to VPN - Manual Setup - Router. Select OpenVPN. Step 3: Open a notepad in Windows or texteditor in Mac. Copy and paste on texteditor the Username and Password under Credentials tab. Step 4: Then, on the Location tab, select the location where you want to be shown, in my case Hong Kong. Click the down arrow to copy the server address and server IP on to the texteditor. Step 5: Download the CA and TLS certificates zip file. Unzip it and open the files using any code editor. In Mac, I used sublime text. As you will need to copy and paste the code on the Key tab later. Now all things are ready. Login to the 4G router. You know the IP. Go to VPN Tunnel - OpenVPN. Follow the settings as shown on Surfshark VPN setup for Tomato router firmware. It should look like these: |
Basic |
Advanced |
Keys: |
Status: if successful, it will look like this |
The code for the Custom Configutation under Advance tab is remote-cert-tls server remote-random nobind tun-mtu 1500 tun-mtu-extra 32 mssfix 1450 persist-key persist-tun ping-timer-rem reneg-sec 0 auth SHA512 cipher AES-256-CBC log /tmp/vpn.log |
In the UK, there are a lot of old houses, old buildings. It is extremely frustrating not getting a steady and reliable internet connection. (I should not compare to the quality of internet in Hong Kong... ) Anyway, I was trying to setup sky broadband in an old house.... old cables... hence, only can rely on telephone line. Was so happy getting start with the sky hub unfortunately, signal was so poor on second floor.... complaints After research, found a lot of posting on forums and youtube about how good it is replacing the sky hub with Asus modem router DSL ax-82u. So spent hundred pounds to buy one to try before buying a new one during amazon sales... Per some users, it works out of the box. BUT. steps are: (this is only for broadband as we are not using landline phone, so we decide to replace the hub with an expensive DSL modem router...) 1. turn off your sky hub 2. connect DSL ax82u with your laptop using a network cable (just use any LAN port on the modem router)....
