    VPN Reset Question

    Thanks to everyone for the response. I'll start with poll interval - mine was set for zero, and see if that deals with the problem, and then work my way down the list. I had been thinking something along the lines of what cybernook had, but if poll interval works .... great! Unfortunately I...

    VPN Reset Question

    I'm using a VPN service and find that every few days I have to go to the router (RT-AC68U) and turn the VPN client off and then on again. Would anyone be able to provide me with some instruction to add that resets the VPN client at a certain time of day? Thank you!

    ASUS RT-AC88U forcing to assign a static ip address

    MYSTERY SOLVED!!! First I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who helped out, RMerlin and Colin in particular. I sent the snippet from Wireshark to my colleague in IT at work, and he pointed out that the bottom part of Wireshark indicates the bad offer was from a Samsung device...

    ASUS RT-AC88U forcing to assign a static ip address

    The device (based on tracing the MAC address) is actually the Windows computer I'm running Wireshark on. Note it is sending to 255.255.255.255 so I'm wondering if 192.168.0.1 offering isn't normal and perhaps just some internal (as opposed to network) offering? I only have one router, and...

    ASUS RT-AC88U forcing to assign a static ip address

    Unfortunately that yielded no results :( I don't run any VMs, and Windows Int Connection Sharing wasn't on. Colin, thank you, but no, I'm only running wireless. There are other adaptors for VPN, ethernet service etc. but all disabled. I've noticed I am having to re-connect to the wireless...

    ASUS RT-AC88U forcing to assign a static ip address

    Thank you Merlin. I wouldn't say I'm technically inclined but I ran Wireshark (anyone else trying to track down a rogue DHCP, there is a video on youtube) and got offers from the router (192.168.1.1) and from 192.168.0.1 which I determined from the MAC address, is the Windows 10 computer I was...

    ASUS RT-AC88U forcing to assign a static ip address

    I didn't think I was, but now I am wondering if the Minix Neo U1 I bought for Android TV, had a dhcp server running on it somewhere? I don't think so, but that is the only thing that makes sense. It's there any easy way to track a rogue dhcp server? Have to dig into it and see what I can...

    ASUS RT-AC88U forcing to assign a static ip address

    Here is my log: Android tv box works because I set up static IP, but other android device ... gets "wrong server-ID" (device connects, but with no internet) as tv box used to. Anyone have any idea what I've done wrong? Posted a screen shot of my DHCP settings, below. I don't know why...

    ASUS RT-AC88U forcing to assign a static ip address

    No, I was wrong. My phone Android 6.01 has the same issue, and I have been forced to set static IPs for almost every Android device? What is going on here - this wasn't the case before, and it wasn't due to an upgrade on Merlin (as I had been using 380.59 for a while)

    ASUS RT-AC88U forcing to assign a static ip address

    I've been having the same issue, and it seems to be most prevalent with Android 5.1.1 devices (that and a thermostat, that I have no idea as to system) - anyway, I'd say definitely Android related, though haven't seen it with Android 6.01 devices. I find that I can force things to work if I go...

    DNS Question

    I'm running 380.58 Merlin on an Asus AC68U and had put a VPN client on for a single computer. The VPN client is set to strict or exclusive. When I turn on the VPN client, which policy sets for this single computer, I get DNS errors for my other machines - like they are trying to pick up the...

    Setting up a SmartDNS service

    I'm on Merlin 380.57 with an Asus AC68U (80Mhz) and am interested in using a SmartDNS and would like it to work with only the tv. I thought I could use the DNS Filtering, but ran into problems (which may have been unrelated?) to the point that I reset the router and it all works well again. So...

    Setting up Dedicated VPN - Help?

    Thank you much Merlin!! Couldn't unfortunately find alpha 4. but once I found where the DNSFilter was buried it all worked like a charm ... and finally what was going on makes sense! Again, thank you!

    Setting up Dedicated VPN - Help?

    I have Merlin 380.57 installed on an RT-AC68U and have been trying to set up a dedicated VPN for a single device. The VPN itself works without an issue. It is just that I only want this single device to go through this VPN. It seemed to work, with the policy setting but I found that other...

    Feature Request - Neighbourhood Access with Bandwidth Limitation

    Net anonymity isn't I thought I got a pretty good deal with a 50% coupon from TorGuard reddit, but it wasn't $19 - you found a great deal! :) Mind you I was looking for dedicated IP, and I think that pricing was very competitive.

    Split VPN Strangeness?

    I recently setup a VPN on a RT-AC68U (with Merlin 380.57) and wanted the VPN on for only one device. Setting up the VPN went well, and I then changed setting to redirect traffic through policy rules and added just that one device. It seemed to work - geolocated the device and it was on VPN...

    Feature Request - Neighbourhood Access with Bandwidth Limitation

    I don't believe I have any risk. I believe that if this were widely dispersed the perceived risk would drop dramaticaly. Courts, copyright holders and police would stand down far faster if it were widely available and used by private individuals like you or me for the public good. As stated...

    Feature Request - Neighbourhood Access with Bandwidth Limitation

    Happens in the US too, has been attempted in Canada (movie Hurt Locker"?), but don't know where that ended up beyond supoena to get user names associated with IP. I can't imagine they would be successful where you are providing bandwidth to neighbours. They would need to show it was you, not a...

    Feature Request - Neighbourhood Access with Bandwidth Limitation

    Correct, although how it differs is jurisdiction dependant.
