TomatoUSB

Hi guys,

I did some googling and can't seem to find a solution on my own, found a few threads suggesting my issue might be a bug but not sure, thought I'd get a second opinnion from someone that might have more experience than me with this.

My Router:
Name tomato
Model Asus RT-N12 B1
Chipset Broadcom BCM5357 chip rev 2 pkg 8
CPU Freq 300 MHz
Flash Size 8 MB
Tomato Firmware v1.28.0500 MIPSR2Toastman-RT-N K26 VPN

My scenario may be somewhat unique. I have 2 voip phones at my home, one is linked to voip.ms via wan interface (which gets qos classification correctly) another is a voip phone that links to my data center asterisk pbx via openvpn tunnel (registration, communication etc works) but qos always has this device classified as "unclassified' and therefore throwing it on my lowest qos que of "crawl" which makes talking on it impossible.

I have tried:
1. Assign this phone to Voip/GAme que (which gets 90-100% upload bandwidth) by MAC
2. Assign this phone to the same que via IP
3. Prioritize all UDP traffic.

It seems that as soon as the traffic is destined for my 10.0.0.0 network (data center subnet) it automatically becomes "unclassified" I am assuming because it's leaving via VPN interface and not WAN … not sure, but any help would be greatly appreciated. My head is starting to hurt :)

Thanks in advance guys!

No one any ideas on this?

Hi Paul,

I don't have an answer for you :(. Just wanted to say I have the exact same issue - so you're not alone!!

My situation is:
One WRT54GL/Tomato to Shaw Cable, no VPN
One Asus RT-N16/TomatoVPN through Shaw Cable - privacy VPN.
VOIP.MS as as well.
One phone/ATA going out through WRT54GL
One phone/ATA going out through RT-16N
ATAs assigned in QOS by IP.

VPN Voip - traffic shows as Unclassified
VPN Voip - poor voice and one-way-voice through VPN with QOS turned on.
Currently QOS is turned off - works fine so far. Same as you, no fix for QOS and VPN.

Anybody else got any thoughts?

Just a thought, the only thing I can think of right now. Add another WRT54GL to the mix then one can do the routing, QOS for traffic which then routes to the other which ONLY does the VPN and gateway to Shaw.

Haven't tried so don't know whether it's worthwhile.

Rodney in this links says QOS applies only to WAN not the VPN connection.
