@mikelanding
thanks a lot for the tutorial.
btw, is it all pc under the router can use that vpn service? since BolehVPN only allow one pc to use only!
Should be. BolehVPN folks would see its coming from 1 PC (your router is actually a PC). Then it shares it out to all other PC , so that you can share it. Just like how you're using 1 Streamyx connection for x numbers of PC. Just check with your VPN provider (just to be extra safe)

Thanks everyone for this really interesting forum - I enjoyed reading through the posts and appreciate the tone and expertise of the comments!
I myself left linksys firmware behind about one and a half years ago, after switching our telephone service to VOIP.
The QoS in the linksys firmware were not satisfying at all and looking for an alternative, I found tomato (I think it was 1.19 back then).
The main reason for my choice over dd-wrt or other flavors was the ability to return to the original firmware if anything went wrong.
Plus since I was new to all this (and still have sweaty fingers and some respect when it comes to installing new firmwares), I was afraid to brick my router with one of the wrt softwares.
End of story: I am extremely happy with my choice and will (hopefully never have to) return to linksys.
The only 2 times I unplugged my router was when we were moving houses.
I just upgraded to Tomato 1.24 and will see how that is treating me (1.23 worked like a charm.)
I have two questions:
1.)
Is it in general advised to reset the NVRAM (and adding all settings manually) after upgrading?
2.)
I am trying to understand the advantages of Victek's mod, but can't really find anything about that.
Everybody raves about it, but why would I want to install it in the first place?
I am (still and happily) using a WRT54Gv4 and always on the lookout for making my connections more efficient.
Could someone give me a short rundown or point in the right direction?
Thanks in advance ~
1) Highly recommended. This is because generally new firmware would have new NVRAM values and such and it can interfere with the old ones
2) Well basically victek mods adds one step further such as the ablity to increase the number of concurrent connection , the ability to configure PFIFO packets in GUI. Its possible to do it with the stock firmware , however you'll have to fire up ssh and configure via CLI. Basically , it just adds more spices. Just take a look at what are the modifications , for some people its worth it (especially if you're a heavy p2per/downloader)

1.25 is out.
Anyway, anyone have any idea on how to block Youtube?
It falls under access restriction. You can restrict on which PCs to block which sites
