• Finally got around to setting up my new Asus 86U. Nothing worked, obviously.

    I gave up on the mobile app and plugged a laptop in. I think the crux of the issue was Virgin cable not liking to have the routers swapped. 10min with all the shit unplugged to fix up DHCP and we were in business.

    For some reason they've changed VPN Client to VPN Fusion, whatever the fuck that means. I think I've got my WireGuard profile running ok but I see none of the old options like "if tunnel goes down don't open up" or "fuck it, disable the vpn" kinda stuff. It looks like you can set up a few options slightly less clunky than previously but I don't know how easy it is to swap between them - would be cool if it detected a failure to move to another node.

    Speedtest with VPN on desktop is faster than wired laptop which is odd but whatever, it's an old laptop.

    Yep. 5 minutes with the power off tends to fix that.
