Should I run a VPN client side as well? in c/[email protected]

Hm, in my current state I’ve configured my router to essentially route all bandwidth to the closest server my VPN provider offers. I utilize other tunnels for bypassing censorship and or torrenting.

So far the year has been solid, I think I’m going to keep chucking away down this path since it does reduce resources on my server.

Kinda want to keep this short. My Asus WRT router running Merlin firmware is currently handling my VPN connections & routing.

There is some part of me thinking if my providers servers go down my router may fallback to WAN, should I run an additional VPN connection on the device/server itself just in case?

It’s been about a year with this setup however this potential issue has been irking me.

Edit: Kill-switch is disabled on the router’s tunnels as it appears to be bugged in two ways. 1) any manual DNS settings get disregarded network-wide 2) it kills all network connections and not just the devices affected.
