Hi
Coming from a whr-g54s I duplicate the working mode to a R7800, that is WAP, i.e. routing mode set to Router plus WAN, firewall and routing disabled, WAN port assigned to LAN.
Then is there any benefit to keep SFE enabled? _________________ ): FoReVeR nEwB

I have YaMON running on my R7800 and SFE has to be disabled to work correctly. I also have custom Firewall rules. So I prefer to leave SFE disabled, since the R7800 is fast enough.
Anyone who has a complex Firewall setup will need to test their rules if SFE is enabled too make sure nothing is broken. _________________ Home Network on Telus 1Gb PureFibre - 10GbE Copper Backbone

Thanks for advice man. But now you explained, like you I won't use it as I'm not hunting the µs with my R7800 and have ~complex~ firewall rules. Please, could you update my quote above as I mistyped SFE in my first post (2 first letters swapped = web pollution. Souvenir From Earth, I'll remember )

I read the whole thread. It's a pity how you guys are testing this feature on lower connections than 4G mobile.
It's like developing DD-WRT infrastructure for the 2010s when there it was no internet.
Shortcut Forwarding Engine enabled on my router - NETGEAR R7800 - is ruining my VPN connection, as a result I can't forward anything over VPN.
Also with Shortcut Forwarding Engine enabled, I have 1Gbps speed through the router. With it disabled I have VPN of 100mbps, but the internet connection drops to 300 - 400 mbps and the temperature of the router becomes very high. Which is bad.
On original NETGEAR firmware I have 1Gpbs internet connections, 30 mbps VPN connections, but I have issues accessing Tinder, Instagram stories and other services that are using some special internet. I did not have time to debug this. If I have had time I wouldn't be here.
It's also a pity that being a phpbb here, there is no proper search and indexing of threads and routers with their problems, but Google doesn't help either.
Questions:
- how do you configure the VPN to work with Shortcut Forwarding Engine enabled?
- why is there this huge difference in transfer speeds between Shortcut Forwarding Engine enabled and disabled?
- which is the best option, considering the first question?
