    YazFi Problem with YazFi

    Two simple suggestions (based on a lot of good details above): 1) Never use Guest #1, only Guest #2 and/or Guest #3 2) Do NOT use YazFi anymore (the author no longer supports it) That will likely help you avoid many problems.

    DNS - passing on source IP address to pihole in the cloud

    DNSMasq also offers local name resolution. Granted, the OP may already be managing that w/ the pi-hole(s), but that requires internet access for local references (not something I generally recommend). And since DHCP is being managed locally w/ DNSMasq, it means you can't resolve any dynamically...

    One website cannot be accessed when VPN is on

    If I understand your intentions correctly, you want to use DNSMasq to force a given website's domain name to always resolve to the same public IP, then use the VPN Director to force that remote IP through the WAN. You can force a domain-name to a specific IP address by adding the following...

    One website cannot be accessed when VPN is on

    Exit IP simply means the public IP as seen from the site you're connecting to. There are NO GUARANTEES about what public IP that might be when it comes to the VPN. VPN providers often use the same public IP for a given server for both efficiency and privacy reasons. But they may also...

    Feature request: Two factor authentication web login. (TOTP)

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/forward-fqdn-to-lan-ip.91109/post-919411 Just seems to me this can be better implemented OFF the router, w/ more options, features, etc. And you're NOT limited to just remote access of the router's GUI. Heck, you don't even have to manage your own certs...

    AX86U - port mirroring

    It's probably complaining about the ROUTE jump target, which for third-party firmware is often NOT loaded by default, assuming it's in the firmware at all. For example, when using DD-WRT, I typically first need to issue the following command so the jump target is recognized by any subsequent...

    Solved Guest network On VPN on 3004-388.8_2

    I'm not sure this is the problem, but in general, it's best to avoid Guest #1. ASUS changed that guest network to use its own IP networks and bridges (br1 and br2, for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz freqs, respectively) for the benefit of AiMesh, and thus it might explain why they are NOT being routed...

    Solved 3004.388.8_* LAN clients connection problem

    Seems to me you've answered your own question. You tried a dirty upgrade and it failed. As we all know, dirty upgrades are always a roll of the dice. And sometimes you're just going to come up snake eyes and be forced to do a clean upgrade. Doesn't mean the problem is guaranteed to go away...

    Should I replace my RT-AC68U?

    FWIW, my own RT-AC68U running either FreshTomato or DD-WRT (just for comparison) gets at most 300Mbps over wireless, 640Mbps over wire w/ NAT acceleration enabled. I suppose it could be capable of more for either wireless or wired, but I lack the most modern wifi clients, and my ISP tops out at...

    Asus BQ16 - Firewall url filter not working?

    As an alternative to the suggestion by @ColinTaylor, you could add the following to DNSMasq to deny name resolution to the device requesting update.xxx.com. address=/update.xxx.com/0.0.0.0 You need to add it using a dnsmasq.conf.add file, as described in the following link...

    Adguard Home and clients of subnet (wireguard tunnel)

    Given the GL.iNet devices typically use third-party firmware (OpenWRT) and most make NAT'ing the tunnel on a VPN optional (if only to support site-to-site configurations), I'd be surprised if it wasn't there in the firmware. But I don't use OpenWRT, so I can't confirm one way or the other. If...

    VPN client

    Good guess, but if that was the case, the OP would have likely received the following in the syslog. Aug 12 11:40:23 ovpn-client1[31254]: Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in config.ovpn:27: block-outside-dns (2.6.10) But he didn't because of the following...

    Asus BQ16 - Firewall url filter not working?

    The problem here is that URL filtering is antiquated and no longer very effective. When this feature was introduced many years ago, http (the insecure, UNencrypted version of the web protocol) was the one and only option. URL filtering would examine the URL in its entirety, both the domain...

    Wake On LAN not working on Asus Access Point

    If the PC powers up but won't complete the bootup process for some reason (e.g., an essential but corrupted driver), it doesn't matter what you use to boot the PC, whether WOL or a wifi-enabled AC adapter, it ain't gonna boot. The only problem we're trying to solve is how to wake-up the PC in...

    [RT-N66U] - Repeater Mode - LAN-Port: no Internet Access

    Given just how lame OEM firmware can be, it wouldn't surprise me if the OEM didn't bother to bridge the LAN to the bridge created between the wireless client that connects to the remote AP and the local AP. Because that's what it takes to include the wired LAN ports. They have to be assigned...

    Wake On LAN not working on Asus Access Point

    I honestly don't know what the issue is wrt your WOL failure (although I have a suspicion), but let me make a suggestion. Several years ago I decided to get off this dependence on WOL and instead use wifi-enabled AC adapters. What I do in the case of a desktop PC is enable "Restore from AC...

    OpenVPN Client: mishandled route directives

    It wasn't my intention to suggest or even imply that the user (or YOU on behalf of the user) was expected to provide the network interface (if I did, then I misspoke). As I said, OpenVPN doesn't even require it whether via the route directives or the API for the reasons you suggest; it can't be...

    OpenVPN Client: mishandled route directives

    Under normal circumstances, there isn't a need for including the network interface w/ the route command *assuming* you haven't created any routing ambiguities by having the same IP network available from more than one network interface. If that happens, it's typically considered a configuration...

    OpenVPN Client: mishandled route directives

    Where is dev_env coming from? According to the docs, the network interface is not provided, which means the routing system will resolve it (presumably correctly). And that's the problem child here. dev_env is apparently always being set to tun1x, but I don't where that is being done. It's...

    VPN Director Assistance Request

    I assume you turned to that third-party script because the VPN Director doesn't handle domain names. Ironically, if the route directives in custom config were handled correctly by the OpenVPN client's routing routines, you could probably avoid using a third-party script for those purposes...
