Ah man DD-WRT is still a thing? Geebus, I used that firmware back in the day on the ol Linksys WRT54G. Flashed many a routers with the firmware. Was amazing to take a $50 router and give it features of a router that would have cost hundreds of dollars at the time.
I used an old router with ddwrt on it years ago to get free internet, You can turn it into a nice wireless capture like a repeater with an outdoor antenna. I could use it to scan the neighborhood for wifi with no passwords. I did not pay for internet for a good 3 years. That was way back before the current tech. Wireless g I believe.
Was passing through and noticed the Linksys router. IMHO, OpenWRT (which interestingly you started by saying) is a better open source OS for these devices than DD-WRT. You also need to be careful which Linux kernel is used on that older firmware (if you haven't updated it yet) because anything prior 5.15 had a bug causing the switch part of it to forward traffic like a dumb hub which affected throughput and exposed VLANs.
Cool! Using ddwrt with 4 diff vlans on the 4 ports. I have an access point that supports vlan, but can't get the tagging to work just yet. Learning as I go, I posted pics in mod chat of my config
That will cost WAY more than this solution plus would have to pay for secondary line installation which is in the hundreds/thousands and doing the secondary line doesn’t hide your location still for privacy.
Short answer, it will but long answer is it depends. Some VPNs add a lot others are very minimal. Usually VPNs increase latency due to encryption/decryption process but that depends on the hardware doing the encrypt and decrypt and the latency from the where the VPN tunnel terminates to the pool.
About VLAN 15:38 there should be under Setup tab subtabs called Switch Config and Networking where you should be able to configure also some VLAN, there should be some videos about it in UA-cam if you find it difficult
@@RedPandaMining Yup that is correct, you don't need VLAN there if that's all you need. VLAN is for making virtual lans over the whole network over all the devices which support it. I like VLAN and partly using it, but also can say it is not the easiest thing to build up if you have lot of stuff - but can also be very helpful thing *after* you have built it. Just pick easier routes whenever it's not that important.
@@captainhappyi love pfsense I would totally do that instead but I was lazy and I had this around haha. U know me I got a pfsense router somewhere too lol and ubiquiti at the other place
@@RedPandaMining Same thing, configured some VLANs into pfsense, and using DD-WRT normally without any VLAN configurations - although connected DD-WRT router to a VLAN enabled switch port so DD-WRT doesn't know it's in VLAN, but pfSense knows. I guess I found it just too difficult for me to enable VLAN in DD-WRT, or other way, didn't need VLAN for those devices connected to the DD-WRT. Well, it's always complicated to describe these things, I bet you think something like this :-)
If you are gonna get hacked it will be fake web pages or connecting your wallet to a scammer site don’t keep your keys on a computer and keep your history cleared i run cc cleaner also every now and then
Yes. yes. best video ever.
Love the networking content
DD-WRT is sweet! Very capable. I use on old wifi routers for wireless bridges and APs where it is difficult to run network cable.
Just the video i was looking for! Thanks rpm
YOU'RE THE SMARTEST YTer I KNOW. PAMP UP THE SECURITY

Great video RPM! I need to learn to better protect and optimize my network!

I sorely need to spruce up my network like this, but, such a boring thing to do
I will have to grab one of these thank you for da vid bro 🍕
@redpandamining so you set up the express vpn for the miners and what are you using for personal devices the ISP ip? Or you set up another vpn?

DDWRT... man... I used to put that on every one we sold. Didn't know that was still a thing. ha Nice
how much latency is added with those jumps? genuinely curious
depends which server and hops ya but most of the time its mid.
@@RedPandaMining just add more NaTs
Double NaT? no bro we have FOUR NaTs!
Why not a couple of vlans on the ubiquiti ?
this is a good one... thx

You should get your own dedicated connection
he can afford it.
That will cost WAY more than this solution plus would have to pay for secondary line installation which is in the hundreds/thousands and doing the secondary line doesn’t hide your location still for privacy.
Lol I remember doing this back in the day with hundreds of wrt54g building out a mesh type network.
Do you have to pay a subscription for this router? or is it included in the price of the router?
Only subscription needed is the vpn service
I run separate routers and each has its own unique statuc ip address and have had no problems
How does it affect mining share ping times?
dd-wrt ... is that thing still alive? @RM try mikrotik :)
cool video. i cant wait to get my ubiquiti stuff. gonna call you for help..lol
What is your latency running through this tunnel? I would be concerned about using this if solo mining.
Short answer, it will but long answer is it depends. Some VPNs add a lot others are very minimal. Usually VPNs increase latency due to encryption/decryption process but that depends on the hardware doing the encrypt and decrypt and the latency from the where the VPN tunnel terminates to the pool.
I wouldnt solo mine through vpn
Not a big deal unless you start getting stale and invalid shares anyway
About VLAN 15:38 there should be under Setup tab subtabs called Switch Config and Networking where you should be able to configure also some VLAN, there should be some videos about it in UA-cam if you find it difficult
Not too worried cause I essentially vlan’d by installing a totally separate router just for the mining rigs already

Hello, I want to say it's too risky to use the VPN can go down because the VPN is public. I recommend using a private server for VPN hosting.
If you are gonna get hacked it will be fake web pages or connecting your wallet to a scammer site don’t keep your keys on a computer and keep your history cleared i run cc cleaner also every now and then
😬 Can't believe you didn't have your equipment segmented out! Lucky it wasn't an issue in the past.
☕️
Why not just do a VLANs? Or old school subneting ?? Or get a second isp? VPNs are for the birds.
Way way way too much latency for your hashes.
I already do that in my other location. The regular home person cannot do it and invest in all that. Too many different hardware and configs.
@@RedPandaMining what equipment do you use for that? I’d watch that video if you already did it
