How to Host an OpenVPN or WireGuard VPN Server using Brume 2
VPN Cascading is when a VPN connection is passing through more than one VPN server at the same time. Each VPN is limited to concealing one public IP address at the same time, therefore if a router is limited to processing a single VPN at a time, users will need one additional VPN router for every server the data passes through to conceal each server’s public IP address.

Using Fiber Optic Internet on Flint (GL-AX1800) OpenWrt Home Router
Recently switched to CenturyLink for their affordable fiber service, but I don’t want to use the router/modem they provide. Therefore, I figured out how to use fiber with Flint (GL-AX1800) router instead. When it comes to fiber optic internet, your service provider will install an optical network terminal (ONT) for you. In my case, CenturyLink gave me one ONT and a router, however, I want to use my own router and hook it up using an Ethernet cable capable of fiber-optic speeds.
