For non-networking people, did you know that you can setup an OpenVPN server on your ASUS router at home?

The use case is that you can tunnel any traffic from an external network (e.g. your office) to your home network. You can easily overcome any overzealous firewalls through this. An OpenVPN connection from your external network to your home network is encrypted (provided you set it up correctly), and all traffic appears to come from your home network.

External network (e.g. office, public wifi) <---- (encrypted tunnel) ----> home network <---- Internet traffic, home LAN traffic ----> arbitrary host

For e.g., you can watch Netflix, StarHub TV anywhere, etc. using this tunnel, from any external network, assuming you have the MR Teleport DNS service (so long as you can find an unblocked outgoing port, such as 443, on your external network. 443 should be unblocked on most networks such its a core HTTPS port).

Its helpful if you need to access computers in your home LAN too, e.g. your home NAS, or Remote Desktop to any computers inside your home network.

Static IP is a separate service from the gamer plan. You can be on gamer plan but if you don't subscribe to static IP, then you will be on dynamic IP.

Unable to connect via wifi

The installer came to set up. He used the lan cable to do setting. And the internet is working fine. Now I try to use the wifi on my laptop but there is no connection. I can only connect to internet via cable. I am sitting on the living room floor as I type.

I called the technical hotline and the wait was so long that all my calls are hanged up by MyRepublic. The online chat has a message that says all operators are not available. This is so frustrating. Waited for so long for the installation and now cannot access wifi. And no one is manning the hotline and online chat as well. It seems like MyRepublic is facing a lot of technical issues. Regret choosing MyRepublic.

Did the installer help you configure your new router WiFI?
If not, I suggest you refer to the router manual that comes with the Asus router and follow its steps to configure the WiFI for your router. It is actually a 1 minute job if you know your way around this router.

Just checking. Say I moved residence, do I need to bring any of the equipments with me? E.g the ONT.

Right now there is only TP, fiber cable and ONT left.
P.S: I do know TP has to be left there.

Sent an email to myservices@myrepublic.com.sg few days ago but haven't receive anything as yet.
