    Seems like my OpenVPN server has been hacked

    THANK YOU for this, it explains a lot. When I looked more closely at the logs it was exactly as you said, and I previously noticed 0 bytes sent or received but still thought they were actually connected. While I am confused as to why they would even show up in the VPN client list (if they are...

    Seems like my OpenVPN server has been hacked

    FWIW, none of the vulnerabilities listed here apply to my situation: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-3447/Asus.html So the curious cat in me really really wants to know how they did it (and why it appeared that only the OpenVPN access was compromised)...

    Seems like my OpenVPN server has been hacked

    Ok, thanks for the advice. I am unfortunately away from home for the next few days, but I have setup a new VPN config and disabled WAN access and SSH access (even though it was passwordless key based). I will monitor it over the next couple of days via vpn only, so far there are no others on the...

    Seems like my OpenVPN server has been hacked

    So you are saying HTTPS or no, WAN is NEVER secure? Why not? Are you assuming they brute forced my username and password, or from some other vulnerability?

    Seems like my OpenVPN server has been hacked

    I am running an ASUS AC68U with latest Merlin 384.6. I recently logged into my router to find a lot of entries (all with username "UNDEF") in the client list for my single OpenVPN server, the majority of the IPs connecting were the same (54.207.11.46, which links to a very shady site). I...

    after upgrade to 384.5beta2, can't downgrade or change firmware

    I just tried to upgrade my 384.5beta2 to the just released 384.5_0 and it will not upgrade. The firmware uploads and the progress bar shows, but then nothing changes and it was never even rebooted. Forcing a reboot deletes all settings and the firmware stays stuck at 384.5beta2

    after upgrade to 384.5beta2, can't downgrade or change firmware

    Thanks I just tried restore of several firmware files, they all failed (no error btw, the screen went from min web restore server page to blank after some time)

    after upgrade to 384.5beta2, can't downgrade or change firmware

    I did that already (at least as described in your linked post), and sadly it is still stuck at 384.5beta2

    after upgrade to 384.5beta2, can't downgrade or change firmware

    Hi, while trying to diagnose some network issues I decided to try the latest firmware (384.5beta2 on my ac68u) and now I am unable to install any other firmware. I can't downgrade to my previous 384.4_2, nor install the official latest ASUS firmware (RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4_384_20648-g21e3702). The...

    Freezes in chrome and safari

    I have noticed that the interface is very sluggish and slow to load in Chrome (whether in incognito or regular mode, Version 58.0.3029.110 [64-bit] ) and causes a CPU spike and freeze on Safari (in either private or regular mode, Version 10.1 [12603.1.30.0.34]). These problems do not happen at...

    Custom script screwup, router won't boot

    That is what I figured, thanks for the feedback. Fortunately, whatever I did just caused the router to take an extraordinarily long time to boot. About 15 min later I was able to access again and back out my changes.

    Custom script screwup, router won't boot

    I was messing with a startup script while away from home (I know, I should have left it alone), and something I did to the services-start script is now preventing my router from booting. I can ask a friend to go over and reboot it, but it will probably still crash when it tries to load the...

    Copy files to USB HDD via ssh

    UPDATE: I downloaded, compiled and installed a newer version of rsync on the source server and all is working as expected. There was no way entware would allow me to install an older version on the router, which is why I had to upgrade the source or go back to (supposedly) crappy optware.

    Copy files to USB HDD via ssh

    you know I already did that. :)

    Copy files to USB HDD via ssh

    yeah, I did think that would be a good idea, so I went down the rabbit hole of installing entware, then rsync, and now rsync won't work because of this error: rsync: This rsync lacks old-style --compress due to its external zlib. Try -zz. And when I try to use -zz instead of -z it gives me...

    Copy files to USB HDD via ssh

    Figured out how to get rsync working! Hope this helps someone else: https://gist.github.com/ncherro/3b5567c19024306572bb

    Copy files to USB HDD via ssh

    So, this is strange: I logged in via ssh, typed dropbear, which didn't do anything. Then I rebooted, and voila my files are transferring via scp. Not sure if it is due to: 1. issuing dropbear command? 2. simple reboot needed after hotplugging the external USB3 drive? (even though it was...

    Copy files to USB HDD via ssh

    Not at all, I assumed scp would work because ssh worked. How do I check/enable?

    Copy files to USB HDD via ssh

    Thanks for looking at this, I did just increase the verbosity, and here is what I got (edited out actual IPs and addresses): root@myserver:~# scp -v /var/www/html/index.php myaccount@myrouteraddress:/tmp/mnt/Backup Executing: program /usr/bin/ssh host myrouteraddress, user myaccount, command...

    Copy files to USB HDD via ssh

    If anyone has any further advice on this, I would appreciate it. I have enabled SSH on my AC68U router, and can ssh into it with no problem (using my private key and no password). However, when I try to scp to it, I get an "Invalid argument" error. HDD is USB(3) attached disk (formatted hfs+...
