    Simple beginner questions about using SSH with Merlin

    I'm assuming this would be done by disabling the the "Enable JFFS Custom Scripts..." option. If so, would doing that affect the JFFS directory other that not allowing scripts to run? I'd like to utilize two scripts that eibgrad had shared: a firewall rule to prevent WAN traffic leaks prior to...

    Simple beginner questions about using SSH with Merlin

    As a complete beginner with SSH I am wondering: 1) If one would like to use SSH scripts to make persistent changes to the way Merlin functions, can a user enable SSH in Merlin, run a script, then disable SSH (and even remove the SSH client completely), and have the script still functioning? Or...

    DNS Leak With VPN Director Policy

    After looking into this more, DoT will not be an option due to incompatible servers. That stated, short of getting started with SSH scripting, can anyone recommend a workaround to avoid WAN traffic leaks prior to OpenVPN clients becoming connected? The issue is detailed in the link in the OP.

    Configuring Netgear Nighthawk M1 as Modem for ASUS Router?

    I've looked high and low online and am surprised to have not found any thorough articles on how to accomplish the thread title. The setup configuration I would like to set up uses the M1 as a modem connected to a current Merlin-compatible router running a VPN. Simple, in concept... However...

    DNS Leak With VPN Director Policy

    I have not yet ventured into the realm of SSH coding, so at this time I am seeking to address the traffic leak issue (which I initially referred to as "IP leaks") in another way. Using "VPN Director (policy rules)" apparently avoids the traffic leak issue. However, since I'm getting a DNS leak...

    DNS Leak With VPN Director Policy

    My OpenVPN clients connect properly with no DNS leaks when the "Yes (all)" option is selected for "Redirect Internet traffic through tunnel". I would opt to simply leave this as-is, however, preferring not to have any leaks, I would like to be able to use "VPN Director (policy rules)" in light...

    Modern Modems That Don't Use Broadcom Chips?

    Point taken about the ports. I was hoping to avoid an additional piece of hardware, though given how few (if any) non Broadcom based modems there seem to be I'm curious if anyone knows of a decent one that is DOCSIS.

    Modern Modems That Don't Use Broadcom Chips?

    I'm wondering if there are any good options for modems with 4 lan ports, that don't have Broadcom chipsets, and can support downlaod speeds approaching 1gb. Does anyone know of any?

    Best Practice for Setting Up a New Asus Router?

    It seems my primary hurdle for offline setup is not using Quick Internet Setup with Auto-Detection. For a novice who is unsure of what network settings to input manually, I'm not sure where to start. Should I just try DHCP, assuming that is what most ISP connections are?

    Best Practice for Setting Up a New Asus Router?

    I'd like to set up a new router as securely as possible. For networks with one router already set up, I've seen it recommended to do as much configuration as possible offline, and then connect the new router into the old via LAN port for the remainder of the setup. This approach makes sense as...

    Multiple VPN Clients With Kill-Switch Functionality?

    Yes, you are correct. Manually changing OpenVPN clients, and not allowing any non VPN traffic while doing so (i.e. retaining kill switch functionality) was my initial goal when I started this thread. It also remains a current goal. After starting this thread another goal also arose, which is to...

    Multiple VPN Clients With Kill-Switch Functionality?

    I'm not sure how/where the codes mentioned need to be entered to simulate an OpenVPN client failure, if anyone can point me in the right direction for further reading. I also need to figure out what the "using the shell (ssh)" instruction means, which is part of eibgrad's excellent contribution...

    Multiple VPN Clients With Kill-Switch Functionality?

    Hello, and my apologies for the late response. When I posted a few weeks ago I was using a version prior to 386.3. However I have since updated to 386.3_2. I understand that now the kill switch functionality will be turned off if a user turns off an OpenVPN client. Therefore I am unsure how...

    Multiple VPN Clients With Kill-Switch Functionality?

    I should have noted in my first post that my understanding of terminology in this area is very rudimentary. On the "VPN Status" tab there are 5 OpenVPN clients listed. On the hypothetical configuration I am referring to, two or more of those clients are set up, each to connect to a different...

    Multiple VPN Clients With Kill-Switch Functionality?

    On my current setup I have the kill switch working. However, if I would like to disable one client in favor of another, doing so prevents me from connecting with another VPN client since the kill switch kicks in. I'm wondering if there is some way one could switch between VPN clients without...
