    [Help] Problems setting up OpenVPN

    Not sure if by "config" that's what ended up in the custom config field, or an actual dump of the underlying config file. If the import placed anything in the custom config field, remove it and try again. If that works, then try adding back the remote-random and remote directives to custom...

    Need help with Namecheap -> Router -> Caddy

    Forget about this issue w/ Namecheap and DNS for the time being. That is NOT an essential or even an important factor in gaining remote access. You can simply refer to your public IP for the time being. In fact, configuring your own domain name assumes you have a static public IP, which is NOT...

    OVPN server setup problem

    I'm curious what that might cost. My ISP requires a business account upgrade, which is a significant cost (starts @ $200/month w/ 12 month commitment). For a $6 a month, you can create your own cloud-based OpenVPN Access Server w/ Digital Ocean.

    RT-AX86U Pro LAN Port on Guest Network

    I assume you're using FT (FreshTomato) as I suggested. Go to Administration->Scripts and paste it in the Firewall tab. Save and Reboot.

    Accidentally blocked myself out of GUI and SSH

    Would have been a LOT more faster if the OP made a backup before messing with it.

    Accidentally blocked myself out of GUI and SSH

    Yes. It just gives you more options. Now you can connect a wireless device to the secondary router, such as your phone.

    Sudden VPN client issues with RX-AX82U

    Only thing I can suggest at this point is make a backup of the router config and JFFS, then reset to factory defaults, reconfigure the VPN, and see it now works. Worst case, you can always go back to where you are now.

    Accidentally blocked myself out of GUI and SSH

    What about an old router? Use the clone MAC feature and connect to the primary router as a secondary, daisy-chained router, with its own IP network, APs, etc. IOW, route into the primary router (WAN to LAN) rather than necessarily bridging into it (LAN to LAN).

    Sudden VPN client issues with RX-AX82U

    Merlin stores the certs, keys, etc., in the /jffs/openvpn directory. You could dump the relevant files and make sure they haven't been corrupted.

    Accidentally blocked myself out of GUI and SSH

    If there's a least one device that can access it, then it may be possible to impersonate that device by manually configuring a desktop/laptop w/ that same IP and/or MAC address. P.S. I don't use the OEM firmware, so I'm unsure about whether JFFS would be reset (IIRC, it does for Merlin). But...

    Troubleshooting Access Point Connectivity: WAN vs. LAN Port Issue

    Normally, AP mode should reassign the WAN port to the LAN making it useful again. There isn't even a firewall anymore to prevent access. It could either be a faulty WAN port, or perhaps an unreliable ethernet cable. Perhaps replugging the cable reset the network and fixed whatever corrupted...

    How to block LAN access for a wired device on ASUS Merlin (Firmware 3004.388.8_2)?

    Sure. Although if you go down the path of additional hardware, my first inclination would be to use an old router, esp. since I'm sure a lot of users have such hardware lying around doing nothing (consider all the ASUS AC routers soon to reach EOL). Even an old wireless G/N router will suffice...

    How to block LAN access for a wired device on ASUS Merlin (Firmware 3004.388.8_2)?

    But doesn't that assume the secondary switch will be dedicated to that LAN port on the primary router? IOW, *any* device on the secondary switch ends up isolated from the private network. Not sure if that's what the OP is looking for. Not unless the OP is willing/able to plug the device into...

    BRCTL command options

    That link is just to the documentation. The actual source does NOT include that command/option. https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/blob/master/release/src/router/bridge/brctl/brctl_cmd.c Which isn't unusual. Many times certain commands/options are removed to save space, esp. if the...

    Connecting to the router using ddns domain name from within the network?

    Absolutely correct. I wasn't suggesting it was a good idea. It is NOT. I was merely explaining for those who insist on this approach, what it takes to work as requested. Most ppl become interested in NAT loopback because they want to maintain the same references to their services whether...

    service-event-end question

    Ran into similar problem quite some time ago. You would think the event model was thorough and complete, but I ran across several times when events simply weren't triggered for some reason. I ended up actually taking the template and writing a message to the log each time it was called so I...

    Connecting to the router using ddns domain name from within the network?

    You're conflating ping w/ remote access of the GUI. These are different things. You can ping based on the public IP of the router while inside the LAN because the router is listening on all its network interfaces for that protocol. That is NOT true of the GUI (I assume this is the OP's...

    Connecting to the router using ddns domain name from within the network?

    Seems to me we've lost the plot here. AFAICT, the issue for the OP has nothing to do w/ DDNS per se. However the OP resolves/determines his public IP, whether it's via DDNS, or he has a KNOWN static public IP, the issue has to do w/ NAT loopback. IOW, referencing that public IP from within...

    ddns: vlan2 not find External WAN IP, go retry.(10)

    Seems mighty odd the DDNS update would NOT update your current public IP. We know it actually works since a reset of the WAN works. Might help to see a full, unfiltered dump of the syslog (at least the portion where a change is about to take place) so we can see what inadyn is reporting for...

    Printing from Guest Network (ASUSWRT-Merlin 3004.388.8_2)

    I have what I hope is a better idea. What I suggest is that you *enable* intranet access for Guest #1 (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz). Normally you don't want to do this w/ Guest #2 and #3 because they share the same IP network as the private network (br0). You use ebtables to enforce isolation...
