I'm using a Beryl AX and installed the MY config file to use MV VPN on the router. I want to use Mullvad's DNS blockers (as done when using the app).

Is that not possible with MV on the router?

Or will they be changed to Quad9 ? I'm not clear about whether this change only affects "public" users (non paid users). Thank you for clearing this up for us!

Any tips very welcome, as I've never had this ISP before nor high speed symmetric fiber optic (ONT) connection. Thanks for feedback and helpful advice!

I'd like to use the DNS content blocking option as offered in the Mullvad VPN windows app. Also, can I select obfuscation options in Mullvad file download for the router to hide Wireguard? Thank you.

We had our bank (Wells Fargo) insist on us providing a physical residential location address where we reside (our UPS mail center we used for years was now rejected), and threatened by the bank via Email letters: We were given 30 days to provide that OR have the funds in our checking and savings accounts FROZEN. Seriously. Nice bank, huh? Our state Dept. of Motor vehicles now also insists on a residential address; i.e., no postal box, or CMRA (commercial mailing center address).

We have no living relatives in the state and have autos registered in the state, which we're concerned about, also.

How do others handle these situations? Since a rented mailing address service is NOT acceptable? Suggestions wanted. Thanks

P.S. We told Wells Fargo to GTFO of our lives and moved to a Credit Union. But that only solves part of the problem. Thanks very much for ideas!

I've noticed while traveling that some locations' portals / access points do not connect to the Beryl AX (but instead get stuck at "getting IP..." etc) - maybe due to different router/access point hardware/manufacturers... Rumor has it some UniFi access points, for example, are problematic when trying to connect using the Beryl AX as repeater.

Is the 4.9 (or other firmware?) more readily able to successfully handle these various situations my team and I run into while traveling? Any insights based on experience very welcome! :-)

What are the best options, preferably in the wireguard configuration parameters of the router / OpenWrt ?

We do not need touch screen or WiFi - just looking for minimum latency and maximum speed. Thank you ;-)

Since my ISP is willing to offer a public/fixed IP (currently CGNAT)...

Is there a Speed or Latency (or other technical) advantage to using PORT FORWARDING instead of Tailscale or other "work around" for CGNAT?

Any reason(s) NOT to change to public IP and avoid CGNAT?

Mainly want to take advantage of reducing speed loss and latency

Thanks for any insights!

And/or what problems did it result in?

I'm having trouble with repeater and captive portals being stuck at "getting..." IP address, DNS, etc. Thanks for feedback!
