VPN and setting up a grandstream HT801 ATA – Need help
I couldn't find any topics regarding VPN. I use the vpn in openvpn directly on my Asus RT-AC68U router and I use the ATA Grandstream HT801 (1.0.41.5). I would like to know if there is a configuration to do on my ATA regarding my VPN, I saw a place that talks about openvpn except I do not know too much. Thank you for your help.

Sorry, I'm not going to be supporting VPNs, which lies outside the purview of supporting FPL, as far as I'm concerned.
If you enable a killswitch, that means when your VPN goes down so does your FPL service, and then whether your VPN service always handles UDP port traffic and DNS properly are other factors I'm not interested in troubleshooting. Also, you will likely be increasing jitter and pings by using a third party VPN service.
Helping to support FPL is enough without adding additional points of failure.
If you want help with the OpenVPN features in your router and are using Merlin (which I suggest using), then you can try asking at https://www.snbforums.com/forums/asuswrt-merlin.42/.

Yes, I use them, but I'm not going to be supporting them.
And whenever you do have a problem, the first thing I'm going to suggest is disabling the VPN first to check whether the VPN is causing a problem.
