Amazing VPN client performance from such a small device. A perfect way of linking a remote site back to a VPN server. The attached image shows the 140Mbit/s download speed attained over a Virgin 200Mbit/s between the Brume and an N40 miniPC running WireGuard-Go. In comparison I could only achieve 50Mbit/s when using OpenVPN. Bear in mind though that performance is determined by the Brume/N40 combination not just the Brume.
The Brume has its own in-built DHCP server (default IP range 192.168.8.0/24) meaning that you can connect several devices at a remote site via the Brume using your preferred VPN protocol. You will need a network switch or WiFi access point if you have more than two devices as there are only two local Ethernet ports. The Brume supports many popular commercial VPN OpenVPN and WireGuard providers with preset configurations for each provider. Client set-up is relatively easy. For WireGuard you can input all the details using a form or, slightly more tricky, using JSON format. For OpenVPN you need to prepare an inline format OpenVPN client file and drag and drop it onto the Brume window. Diagnostics for any mistakes are very limited; if the config doesn't work you have to go back to reference manuals to see what is wrong.
The Brume also has a server function but I was not impressed by the server seeming only to offer SHA1 for authentication rather than SHA256 and the Blowfish BF-CBC cipher which is known to be hackable and not recommended. At least this was the cipher specified in the generated client configuration. Given the power of the Brume and capability to handle AES-256 ciphers it seems remiss to offer this deprecated cipher and not be able to change it.
<b>Update:</b> I've now looked at the server in more detail and despite what is says on the GUI configuration page, it doesn't use Blowfish at all. It uses the far more secure AES-128/256 ciphers with TLS 1.2 and 1.3 which are visible when logging in using SSH. I have spoken to GL-iNet and they will be updating the GUI so kudos to them for the rapid response.
Overall, strongly recommended as a very small and portable OpenVPN or WireGuard VPN client and potentially also as a OpenVPN/WireGuard server.

Ciao a tutti.Granskad i Italien den 13 december 2019
Sono qui a recensire questo nuovo ”mostro” di potenza.
Dal momento che, ormai da diversi mesi, sto usando per la mia connessione residenziale un chiavetta usb 4G LTE connessa al suo fratello minore AR-750, settimana scorsa ho pensato di regalarmi per natale questo gioiellino.
In unione alle funzioni già testate precedentemente, questo super router permette di aggiornare la propria rete al Gigabit ( vantaggiosa certamente non per il lato connessione LTE, ma per la parte LAN interna) permettondo trasferimenti file tra i vari pc e l’HDD, collegato al router come memoria di appoggio, molto più veloci.
Ma riassumo in breve le funzioni interessanti:
a) Varie possibilità di attivare la funzione VPN sia come client che come server, ovvero rendere disponibile l’accesso alla propria rete casalinga dall’esterno attraverso qualsiasi connessione wi-fi pubblica o privata, in modo sicuro e criptato, da qualsiasi parte del mondo, usandolo come server.
Mentre usandolo come client, avere accesso alla rete internet in anonimato, grazie al servizio VPN a cui si è abbonati.
b) Sfruttare in modalità ROUTER la connessione tramite cellulare, modem portatile o modem fisso via cavo, da distribuire al resto della LAN ( come faccio io!)
c) Sfruttare in modalità BRIDGE la connessione ad altre reti da ripetere, ma protetti da occhi indiscreti tramite la VPN integrata.
d) Tramite una funzione interna poter dislocare geograficamente la propria LAN sul territorio ( necessità idonea a chi ha magari una serie di sensori e rilevatori remoti da gestire o magari semplicemente la casa in montagna o al mare).
e) Funzione in test: tramite plugin ( ne ha già molti disponibili da attivare) creare reti condivise con PC al di fuori della propria LAN per giocare, chattare o fornire assistenza remota.
Non pensiate che sia un oggetto complicato da cui stare alla larga per i neofiti: l’interfaccia grafica di configurazione è semplice e permette di essere online da subito. Poi se qualcuno competente vuole giocarci ….
Spero con queste poche parole di avervi descritto il prodotto, a breve spero di essere online con guide di aiuto per tutti.
Grazie per l’attenzione.
Dimenticavo, Amazon ha in promozione anche i suoi fratelli minori, alimentabili come questo via USB, per cui utili compagni di viaggio. Cercate GL-MT300n MANGO o GL-AR750-EXT SLATE, e ne sarete soddisfatti!
