Dynamic DNS isn't just for remote access. It's incase your ISP changes your IP address on you. DDNS will keep your VPN config updated with your WAN IP info.

Not coming with an integrated switch can be considered a good thing for some of us. My current router, a consumer POS, only has the common 4 LAN ports, so I added an 8 port gigabit switch and have everything plugged into it. I figured having PCs connecting to the NAS on the same switch was better than sending anything through one wire to the router. My Brume2 is ordered and comming soon. It will be a simple swap.

Hell yes! I knew something like this was possible with OpenWRT hardware but I would be MORE than happy to have a plug-n-play option...had been wanting to use my folks' place as an off-site backup, and a pair of these would make that config 10x easier 👍

Great content but i would like to know how the configuration is done on your ISP Router to port forward etc..from the BRUME2 i'm stucked

@szymontoda3155 6 ай бұрын

3:08 The device has only a few ports because it is designed as a travel router; it needs to be small enough to fit in limited luggage space or in your pocket while traveling. To increase the number of ports, you can use another network device, such as a switch, which can be compact yet offer more ports. However, be aware that this device, and others in its class, typically have less powerful hardware, resulting in slower speeds. For example, the comparable Mango GL-MT300N-V2 won't exceed speeds of around 60 Mbit/s.

@ChrisN069 Жыл бұрын

@raidowl - If I wanted to use this to run three servers, for example, at three different locations, I would need three of these right? Say a TrueNAS machine at each location for a three way remote/offsite backup. And a side effect would be being able to get to other machines on each network for remote assistance? All three would run both client and server? TIA

I've got an older version of this that I use as a travel router. It's limited to 100Mbit ethernet and realistically you're getting 40-70Mbit on Wi-Fi but it's great for when I want a personal Wi-Fi AP when traveling. If it's just about connecting to your home network I'd argue tailscale is the best solution for 95% of people.

I wouldn't really call it smallest. Although it definitely doesn't have most amazing specs and hardware acceleration, Mikrotik mAP lite is tiny, even compared to Brume2. Beside the microUSB it also takes in PoE in (11-57V), and for those of need to remote access or a WiFi access point it can be a really interesting solution

@kirksteinklauber260 Жыл бұрын

I use Mikrotik and their hAP AC2 is 79 USD that supports multiple VPN protocols such as SSTP, IPSec (L2TP, IKEv1, IKEv2, OVPN, WireGuard and ZeroTier) plus 5 LAN/ WAN Ports, Wifi, Dynamic routing protocols and such much more!! There are cheaper models but you will compromise performance

Wow what a great video, thank you! I have a question regarding the VPN: I would like to set up a HTTP Proxy and connect it to a VPN. I read that it’s possible with the gl.inet but I would like to have different IP addresses for different phones connected to the router. My questions are: 1) will it be possible to switch the IPs without a big hustle in-between connecting the phones? 2) do you think social media platforms like TikTok should be able to detect that it’s a VPN or will it be safe since the VPN isn’t on the actual mobile device but on a router? I hope you can share your thoughts on these-would appreciate it a lot 🙏🙏

Thanks for the video, kinda new to this. My current mesh router does not support openvpn or wire gaurd. Can I use this to add vpn? looks like I can also choose which ip address gets the vpn, is that correct? Could I use an old asus router for my vpn access but still keep my current sytem running?

I've been using the Brume 2 to run a home WireGuard server for a few months now, works fantastic! One question: do you think it's possible to swap the ISP modem and the Brume, so that the Brume connects directly to the ISP ONT? I'm trying to figure out a way to skip port forwarding because it seems to have stopped working on my ISP modem.

Question, how-to connect Brume and google wifi. I want the have Brume be the VPN client so all devices connect on my home network (google WiFi or unmanaged switch) go through Brume. I have xfinity gateway connected to Brume WAN port from Brume LAN port I connected to google wifi globe icon port from the google double arrows icon port I plug that into unmanaged switch and I get no internet or vpn connection, both light are blinking. I had put the Brume after the google wifi which got assigned an IP and able to get internet and vpn clients, that were connected to switch working. The problem is any device connect to WiFi isn’t going through Brume. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help in advance Note.

I have only a mobile wifi hotspot and can't connect this device to a modem, tether to my phone nor use a usb modem. What are my options using this?

@javaman2883 Жыл бұрын

While reading reviews for this device, I've seen a number voicing concern that the WAN is 2.5Gbps while the LAN is 1Gbps, calling that a stupid idea. I admit, that it's a marketing flex to have that 2.5Gbps, but there is a small reason for it. The Wireguard VPN has a rated througput of over 350Mbps, which would be going over the WAN along with LAN to internet traffic. Example, if someone is using the VPN to access the internet (say for geolocation) that 350Mbps is on the WAN as full duplex. If others on the LAN are also accessing the internet, if the WAN was 1Gbps, the internal access would then be limited to 650Mbps. However, with the WAN being 2.5Gbps, the LAN can access the internet using the full 1Gbps while the VPN is also using 350Mbps. Assuming your ISP connection is over 1Gbps. Which is where this can be a marketing flex. Only users who have a frequent heavy need for the VPN to internet access would use ISP speed faster than their LAN port.
