Hi guys,

I just want to say thank you for all the support. It has been a long way since I started to make OpenWRT tutorial videos and and the channel is now reaching 15K subscribers.

Even though I don't have any networking nor computing background, I have learnt a lot of new things during creating the tutorials. I hope that we can learn more together!

Best regards,
Van
