Artemis VS asuswrt-merlin.ng

I've had a decent experience with Artemis, but it requires the user to do nearly all the setup. If you have plenty of time to mess around and figure things out, it's really good, but if you want something that just works, look elsewhere.

Hey, have you tried Artemis RGB? Works with everything I have thrown at it, its just as powerful as signal, free open source, and can even use it with OpenRGB for those weird devices.

Check out Aurora https://www.project-aurora.com/ or Artemis https://artemis-rgb.com/

Artemis might work, but the library it uses is somewhat slow to update and it takes a lot of setup. For all of these apps, you'll probably just have to wait for updates.

After you are done, choose your favorite colors for your fans and save a profile, then go to the Settings tab and enable Load Profile, so your colors will load at start up, but not when turning your PC on, sadly this only works for my ram and GPU, everything else connected to my motherboard (Fans, LED strip and motherboard LEDs) reset to default color (orange) after shutting down my PC, but is not a problem because I use Artemis and it controls the effects of my RGB (also if you are interested, use Artemis for some cool effects).

If you're interested in trying one last piece of software, Artemis is a good one, although it takes a lot of setup. It does require the device manufacturer's software to be installed, and it doesn't fix the lagging issue, but you can pretty much customize however you want.

Here we go, I was talking about https://github.com/Artemis-RGB/Artemis

And Artemis RGB to wrap it all up. They do a fantastic job.

I think you need VPN director from Asuswrt Merlin https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/VPN-Director

Not an answer, but I have the AC5300 and like it. And if you're not aware, there's open source firmware for a lot of the Asus routers here. I use it and once again seems fine. Disclaimer, I'm not a power user, so probably can't answer anything more specific about VPN setup on the router itself, but from my understanding it is possible.

However, I am struggling with how to route the site-to-site client's WAN traffic through its own OVPN client connection. If I set up a rule routing all client subnet traffic through the OVPN connection, then the Wireguard rule never gets processed, because all OVPN rules are processed before any Wireguard rules.

Many (all?) of the ASUS routers supported by the Merlin firmware https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/ have OpenVPN built-in. If you have an ISP-provide modem/router, you may be able to put it in transparent bridge mode.

However, it looks like only the older model is on sale. Go for the Asus and do research if you want Merlin or not.

Here's the official website. It has a list of supported routers: https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/

If you are somewhat good with computers, get an Asus router with a broadcom chipset that can run Merlin WRT. They are rock solid and feature packed (you can even adjust the wireless power level, since you're having wifi issues). There's a list of supported routers here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Supported-Devices

Asus may be terrible in other parts of the company, but they're good in the wifi router department because they cooperate with their users to produce a better product: https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/
