I’m not doing business over it or pushing massive bandwidth. In fact my ISP is only about 100 Mbps which is enough for me. I guess a special emphasis on video and music streaming if I had to pick something. I’d have this as one of two routers…what I want or need a vpn I’ll connect to it.
“vpn provider that is decent with video streaming, general surfing, email”
I was thinking of the PI route…but I need a new router anyways…the old TP-Link AC1750 is showing it’s age.
How long have you been using private vpn, have you had any issue with them? Speed, lagging etc.
Thank, again though…I have to have a active connection to pull this info yes?
I might try it on a ubuntu machine since suse isn’t working correctly or me at least with their snap app.
we use fresh IPs that are not on blocklists for our shared IP network
But you block users on other VPN services to access your website torguard.net.
I’m using VPN and tried to visit your website, this is what I got:
The owner of this website (torguard.net) has banned the autonomous system number (ASN) your IP address is in (203020) from accessing this website.
I think torguard.net is the only VPN provider blocking people using their competition. 
I use an Asus router as my main, but I also have a Slate (a bit of overkill) from glinet for heavy duty use sitting behindy main but operating an always on vpn setting with privatevpn.
Edit: many routers, including my asus already let you do VPN setup on them with wireguard and openvpn, so depending what you buy youight not need any of the glinet items discussed
Using for about 3-4 months, had one dc (but you can also set your routers to kill connection if vpn line drops.
You can set up up to 8 points worldwide withe them, lag obviously dependant on latency and distance from server.
Only annoying thing I found is that you cannot renew early. When I done a paid 1 month trial to see how it goes, I had to wait for it to properly expire before I could buy a subscription, which can lead in downtine.
Thank for posting this…I’m looking at your code / notes.
active connection to what? Their servers: no, internet: yes
and remember to replace <ACCESS_TOKEN> with your own token that you generated on their site.
Yes, we have to block some competitor VPN IP ranges from time to time due to nonstop brute force attacks on our client login pages. It’s not ideal, but we can’t allow our customer VPN logins to be compromised, as they can be misused, which in turn lowers network performance and IP quality for everyone else.
Is the setting to kill the connection in the client on the router or their side. This is what I’d like to do.
Yes, I was referring to their servers. I thought you had to have active connection. Ok, I know how to generate that key and will try it.
I was looking at a different curl api request that provided the server info like your. Is there a way to get specific information from other country? For example, I want to have a few profiles in my router in case “Dallas or Chicago” etc is having issue or I need to get around a geo block.
Is there a way to get this info for servers in London, Sweden etc so I can set profiles for them in my router?
Here’s what I was looking at earlier this week from github but it only returns values for my local area.
curl -s “https://api.nordvpn.com/v1/servers/recommendations?&filters\\\[servers\_technologies\\\]\\\[identifier\\\]=wireguard\_udp&limit=5” | jq -r ‘. | “\n***********************************************************\n* ID: \(.id)\n* LOAD: \(.load)\n* HOSTNAME: \(.hostname)\n* IP: \(.station)\n* LOCATION: \(.locations[0].country.city.name
), \(.locations[0].country.name)\n* PUBLIC KEY: \(.technologies | . | select(.name == “Wireguard”) | .metadata[0].value)\n***********************************************************\n”’
Client on the router has the killswitch. Also most of the glinet routers have a button on the side which you can configure to operate in a few ways one of then being vpn. So you could config that physical button to toggle on/off VPN
I think the last comment has exactly what you’re looking for
