I use 3.5x. It is now really 4x because I went from -capacity 12 to -capacity 9 and never made the change. In a previous post someone mentioned 2.5x just to be safe. I guess in case destroying a used port is not yet complete while the exact 2 ports are trying to be re-used for a new connection. I started at 65534 and went backwards. I avoided using the last port 65535 just because so for you and 2x this would be 65525-65534. I use -ephemeral-ports-range “65497:65534” -capacity 9 -unsafe-logging -verbose and I keep stats `What bothering me also is process of avoiding any VPN being possibly deployed on the router itself.` Don’t understand this. Do you mean someone compromising your system? Hmmm probably not wanting to have to use a VPN on your router. With -verbose and -unsafe-logging you will see exactly which IP is connecting and all kinds of other stuff. Have no tips for OpenWRT since I have only tried that one many years ago. Good luck --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.torproject.org/t/snowflake-on-openwrt-as-standalone-proxy/18754)._
