that's your IPv6 DNS

Please check IPv6 settings on the router

If the link is for your model, seem easy, just might time wasted lol.

I'm actually more of a set and forget kind of person. I did consider getting into Mikrotik once, then decided against it since I need something that is easier to configure/re-configure in the event of emergencies. Also have a spare old Optiplex that I considered setting up OPNsense on, but it isn't practical to use it with my family members not knowing that much about tech. It might cause them problems serving its role.

The main goal right now is just to get a router that can handle Wireguard and is simple to use and configure if the DNS block returns and affects DoT and DoH again.

The ASUS routers that support Wireguard seem to come with a feature that can separate VPN connection from non VPN connection (VPN Fusion), so I might be looking into those more.

Just looked into it, interesting

GL-iNet has more simpler options, you can set it for example so some MAC Addresses bypass it
https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/interf.../vpn_dashboard/

but no "multiple vpn connections for multiple different devices"

yup agreed. Not worth to upgrade equipment just to get that extra 50-60Mbps. Plus, for me it's already considered overkill dy. But SWU package there's no 800Mbps (my old package that I was using). But OK la, at least this package can get 500Mbps upload which is useful for me, as I do alot of uploads to cloud

TP-LINK AX6600 that router 1GBPS Lan port hahaha
2.5GBPS = WAN PORT but LAN PORT ALL ARE 1GBPS no there LAN PORT 2.5GBPS

yeah correct, someone already highlighted that to me.

you noob ???
1× 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN Port
1× 1 Gbps WAN/LAN Port
3× 1 Gbps LAN Ports

1x 2.5GBPS WAN Port = ONR/MODEM only
3x 1GBPS LAN Ports = PC you won't get 2.5Gbps
if you buy PCIE CARD 2.5Gbps but you router is 1GBPS Port lan

1 Gbps Lan Ports = PC 2.5GBPS = you get 940Mbps wont go over 1GBPS understand

I do like the Flint 2 more as a package, but my main issue with it is that the Shopee seller is overseas and not a Shopee Mall certified store.

Mikrotik, Ubiquiti and ASUS are all available locally, making warranty claims much easier in the event of DoA or any other issues.

yup, yup. someone already highlighted it just now

By “can run a VPN” do you mean server or client? I assume it’s the latter (meaning act a client for a VPN service you’ve subscribed to) since you mentioned the DNS shithousery. Do note that most Ubiquiti gateways don’t have WireGuard client functionality listed in their specs, only WireGuard server. I asked for confirmation in the Ubiquiti thread here, but have yet to get a reply. If true, your VPN provider will need to offer OpenVPN (most do) or IPSec protocols (some don’t).

There’s also the matter of hardware acceleration for various protocols to consider. I’ve not dug deep enough yet. I know Mikrotik routers have IPSec acceleration built in. Mediatek processors in GL.iNet and Asus routers support multi-threaded hardware acceleration for WireGuard. The Broadcom chips in higher end Asus (the models compatible with Merlin firmware) have WireGuard acceleration capped to a single core, from what I’ve read on SNB forums.

Edit: if you’re set on using the old router an a wireless AP, you could also look at repurposing some old desktop/nuc with a network card and putting OpenWrt on it.

Then you can consider using Unifi. currently I have 8 VPN connected on my UDM SE and just using routing policy to route specific devices through certain VPN (Sometimes I route my own devices through VPN on router level to bypass TM's horrible routing), but UCG-Ultra probably can't handle that much OVPN/WG session at once, I'd say maybe 2-3 sessions at once and use policy to route

is BiliBili tv app working?

No change at all to my router config. But this is 1st time i launched since TM fooled around with DNS.

So conclusion, new plan as below,
300mb rm99
500mb rm139 free upgrade to 800mb with 3 months waiver
1gb RM159 6 months waiver + Disney

Correct?

1Tbps? that so cheap

or you mean 1Gbps?

Yup meant VPN Client not server.

That info helps a lot, thanks. I can narrow down the choices based on that and my budget now.

UDM-SE is way over my budget, haha.

Now as per what dev/numb said I need to make sure UCG-Ultra can even act as a Wireguard client. Otherwise it's ASUS for me.

No sane home user should buy the UDM SE and I'm not advocating it, I'm not sane

From the reddit thread you can get some reference

from 5mbps to 30mbps to 100mbps and now 300mbps plan. twitch streaming experience is still dogshit. it will randomly buffering and needed to pause and play to get it working again. is TM actively throttling twitch server?

Corrected. Sorry.

Never had much of an issue on 1Gbps here, usage around 10Mbps..? Suspect might be your CGNAT gateway fucking up
