    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Hi there, I currently run on Merlin's 378.56_2 and would really like to switch over this fork. From what I understand I have to factory reset the router first and then flash to this fork. The question is: Should i use John's NVRAM backup/restore utility or just redo all the settings manually...

    VPN Tunnel between 2 x Asus RT-N66U via OpenVPN

    I think i am good to go, ebtables -L command now acknowledges the entries in the script. I'll try it out tomorrow at the Client's site. Thanks again bbsc! you are my hero:)

    VPN Tunnel between 2 x Asus RT-N66U via OpenVPN

    Thanks, i'm pretty green when it comes to linux or like commands. I just created the firewall-start file using VI under /jffs/scripts I need to be more attentive. I'll make it executable right away (https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/User-scripts)

    It is: Bridge table: filter Bridge chain: INPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT Bridge chain: FORWARD, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT Bridge chain: OUTPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT I take it it is not working,

    VPN Tunnel between 2 x Asus RT-N66U via OpenVPN

    I am back :( Today I found out that some (not all) of the hosts on my Client site are picking up IPs from DHCP on the Server site. I have the firewall rules set on both devices: ebtables -A INPUT --in-interface tap+ --protocol ipv4 --ip-protocol udp --ip-destination-port 67:68 -j DROP ebtables...

    VPN Tunnel between 2 x Asus RT-N66U via OpenVPN

    Whoohoo, success. so far so good. Ill test it over the next couple of days. I've also started a second OpenVPN "Server2" as a TUN in order to connect to my home network from work. However, this only gives me access to the devices on the home subnet (172.16.0.2 - 126). Any way I could have access...

    Thank you very much for these details. I've redone my server subnet yesterday and will be redoing client subnet today. Will report back.

    VPN Tunnel between 2 x Asus RT-N66U via OpenVPN

    Thanks so much for the quick reply! Out of curiosity, if server router DHCP assigns : 172.16.0.2 - 126 and client router DHCP assigns: 172.16.0.128 - 254 Will OpenVPN use an IP from server's DHCP pool to establish the tunnel?

    One more question, For Client Address Pool, should I select a different class or subnet IP range? This gentleman here: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/openvpn-site-to-site-with-asus-merlin.11097/#post-72436 , used the same VPN CAP as his local subnet. Perhaps that's intentional? Thank you!

    OpenVPN site-to-site with Asus Merlin

    Hey guys, Yet again, I know this is an old thread but I have a question about Plenkske's config. He set his VPN tunnel's Client Address Pool to be on the same subnet as his own LAN : 192.168.1 Wouldn't that be interfering with his DHCP? Thanks,

    Heh, It's been running fine with TUN configuration as that's what I needed at a time. Recently, with a few changes in the environment, sparked interest in TAP again. Thank you!

    Hi there, You used this script on both server and client? Thanks,

    VPN Tunnel between 2 x Asus RT-N66U via OpenVPN

    Hi, I've been using TUN for some time successfully with Merlin 378.56_2 on both routers. I now find there is a definite need for TAP configuration. Question about the listed configuration : You said this code can be added to just the client. No need to have this done on the server? As per this...

    Asus RT-N66U OpenVPN TUN config

    Thanks for your time Martinr. You are absolutely correct: I did indeed follow a guide posted on another forum. It applied towards a slightly different router but the gist was the same. At the time I needed a quick solution and that was it because it worked flawlessly (speed mostly). I know, it...

    Asus RT-N66U OpenVPN TUN config

    Hi there, I have 2x RT-N66U routers setup at different cities. Both now are running 378.55. I am looking for advice to improve security & performance of my OpenVPN setup. I used an old guide a year ago (which isn't online anymore) to setup one router as OpenVPN server and the other router as...

    VPN Tunnel between 2 x Asus RT-N66U via OpenVPN

    ya, retardation at its best. My apologies. Reading through the guide now. Being new, I was under the impression that the stock firmware was called Merlin seeing everyone referring to it on threads. Missed the obvious sticky.

    Thanks guys! the TAP sounds like its what I need but like bbsc said, I need to run the Merlin firmware. I will take any help you can give! Where would one get the Merlin firmware? I trully appreciate all of your help!

    VPN Tunnel between 2 x Asus RT-N66U via OpenVPN

    Thank you! I had this tested briefly. For some reason I have to have the "Any IP address" (in File and printer Sharing (SMB-In) -> Scope -> Remote IP addresses) checked in order for the remote computer to successfully connect, which of course is not wise. Adding both side's network addresses...

    VPN Tunnel between 2 x Asus RT-N66U via OpenVPN

    Thank you! I will have this tried today. Are there any disadvantages to using this over TUN? more overhead? Where does that code go under? on the Asus router?
