Why: This only changes behaviour for people who terminate VPN connections on an Asus router — typically home-office or small-office setups. Because the text gives no CVE, model list, or firmware version, you cannot triage from this item alone; you would need to check Asus's own advisory and confirm your router's firmware build before deciding whether to patch or move VPN termination off the router.
