    Help needed with client-side routing

    The layout is like this, where the server side is on the left and the client side is on the right: AsusWRT (OpenVPN server, 192.168.5.1) --- Internet (WAN) --- Client-Side gateway (Huawei) - Linksys (OpenVPN client, 192.168.5.2) The server-side LAN is centred around the AsusWRT and the...

    Help needed with client-side routing

    Thank you for the hints! I took a look at the x3mRouting utility and policy-based routing but they seem to be for AsusWRT Merlin only. Since I can establish two-way connection to the Linksys router from the server-side LAN, I can be sure that any signal from the server-side LAN passes through...

    Help needed with client-side routing

    Yes. The caveat is that the modem router is not very configurable. It is a small portable consumer thing (Huawei E5783B). Yes. Yes, the client openvpn is on Linksys (running FreshTomato). Yes. The Huawei modem router is the internet gateway for the Linksys (Client OpenVPN). I am not sure if...

    Help needed with client-side routing

    Should I have posted this under "VPN" instead?

    Help needed with client-side routing

    I need a site-to-site OpenVPN connection between two LANs in different locations. I have managed to get the OpenVPN connection running but there seems to be a problem with client-side routing. The OpenVPN server is on Asuswrt-Merlin (Asus RT-AC68U). That machine is the gateway, 192.168.0.1, on...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    The suggested openvpn-event script worked for me, and I have now replaced the original script in the summary with the new one.

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    Here is a summary of the above process for those who may have trouble making a secondary router (Asuswrt-Merlin) on a LAN function as an OpenVPN server for remote clients to access that LAN Credits for making all this work go to ColinTaylor. My configuration: 192.168.8.0 - OpenVPN network...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    Strangely enough, it worked!! An enormous thank you so much once more! The OpenVPN is now finally functional. Should I leave everything like that or are there any adjustments to finalise this solution?

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    The script did not change the NTP situation (still had to press apply). I have now uploaded a system log to https://pastebin.com/x5nwpHT2 There I left your latest script running from services-start. After reboot, OpenVPN connected but was not pingable. I waited for a few minutes and then...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    sleep 10 did not help. In the system log, for some reason, I cannot see the exact operation of changing to the correct time, it just happens, like this: May 5 08:05:09 kernel: hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found May 5 08:05:09 kernel: hub 3-0:1.0: 2 ports detected Dec 2 04:27:11 kernel: SCSI...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    The debug log showed a simple reason: custom scripts were disabled in System -> Administration. What I cannot understand is how the openvpn-event script could still run. But it did. As for NTP, I discovered that the correct command should be: ntpd -p pool.ntp.org After enabling custom scripts...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    I thought the same. I agree, that seems plausible. At the end of the system log, I can see: May 5 08:05:12 WAN_Connection: WAN was exceptionally disconnected. It is difficult to understand though why the router assumes that it has to have some kind of WAN connection even when I have...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    Done. Grep returned (before reboot): 869 admin 1432 S /usr/sbin/ntp -t -S /sbin/ntpd_synced -p pool.ntp.org -p 192.98.49.11 2596 admin 1412 S grep ntp I also removed the ntpclient line from the script because apparently it would not work if it did not work manually. After...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    I added "logger -t TESTING XXXXX" as the second line. However, I cannot see any reflection of this in the system log. I also tried adding the nameserver line into the openvpn-event script but it did not work from there either. After a reboot, the resolv.conf file was still empty. However, the...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    This script did not work. After rebooting, the DNS still fails, time was not synced and I see no reference to "nameserver" in the system log (and /tmp/resolv.conf is 0 bytes). When I try to enter those commands manually in SSH, I get "ntpclient: not found".

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    ls -l /etc/resolv.conf outputs lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 16 May 5 2018 /etc/resolv.conf -> /tmp/resolv.conf and cat /etc/resolv.conf outputs nothing.

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    The script did not function in nat-start nor in firewall-start. However, the script works when I use it in openvpn-event. That matter is resolved, I suppose. Thank you very very much! The instructions for DNS did not work. DNS still fails (in SSH and I can also see it from Network Tools when I...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    I am not sure if I can find the right words to appropriately thank you for the huge help. By what you are doing here, you are making the world a better place. Inter alia, for routers and for those stubborn people who still try to configure them. I added the script but it seems to me that it did...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    That command quite made a difference. It made all devices in 192.168.10.0 pingable from the OpenVPN. And besides, now all devices are browsable too. This continues even when I disabled RIP in the Linksys and removed the 192.168.8.0 static route from the Linksys. Which seems to mean that the...

    Help needed to make a router on LAN accessible remotely

    Thank you for your help and patience. It was much more than I expected, thanks a lot! I would be quite ready to concur with you as regards the Linksys but the only thing that still holds me back is that I had an OpenVPN server (namely that of the QNAP NAS, 192.168.10.5) working flawlessly in...
