At one point this app was working great back in the summer time. I don't know if there was an update after that broke it some how, but it's starting to be pointless using it now. When I connect, it states you are protected, but I have no internet when I'm away. I know I set it up correctly on both the router and app. Until they do something about it, I configured my own Wireguard VPN connection, which is working flawlessly. I had high hopes with Asus, I hope they are not letting us down now.

Streaming videos, TikTok, or music can crash the router (RT-AX86U). To reproduce the problem you can run a simple speed test from a device with Instant Guard (may take a few tries) you'll notice the speed dripping slowly. Eventually your connection to the router will drop as the router reboots. When Instant Guard reconnects again it's extremely slow, you have to turn it off. I contacted Asus support the router. Last I heard they seem to understand the issue. No indication if they'll fix it.

Really cool, but with 1 vulnerability (-2 stars for it). I really wish I didn't have to download the management software and login as the admin for it to work. It would be okay if it was just my stuff, but other household members use it, and I am constantly fixing their computers from their downloads and browsing habits. I can only imagine what they do on their phones... (+1 star for OVPN a work around.)
