    VPN Director Assistance Request

    Doesn't seem possible. More likely you're somehow misinterpreting the results. Dump the internals and let's see if anything is amiss. ifconfig brctl show ip route ip route show table ovpnc1 ip route show table ovpnc2 ip route show table ovpnc3 ip route show table ovpnc4 ip route show table...

    Firmware version check for RT-AX58U Merlin support

    NIB = New In Box The RT-AC68U (which I own as well) isn't worth all that much these days, maybe $30-35. IMO, you'd be better off to keep it and install FreshTomato or DD-WRT and use if for other purposes (AP/VAP, guest/iot network, wireless ethernet bridge, repeater, WISP router, etc.).

    Firmware version check for RT-AX58U Merlin support

    Only YOU can judge whether the purchase is worth the risk. It's your money. Perhaps tell them you'll pay the asking price if they provide confirmation about the above. Or else offer a little less to make it worth the risk. Based on current eBay pricing for sold items, the RT-AX58U seems to...

    RT-AC1900P and RT-AX86U Pro - issues with video calls

    What you might want to try is using ssh to access the router and run the top command to monitor the resources being used by the router at any given time. You *might* notice a trend, perhaps some other process(es) that is consuming excessive resources at the same time. By default, the output...

    Firmware version check for RT-AX58U Merlin support

    You might find the following helpful. https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ASUS_RT-AX58U https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ASUS_RT-AX58U_v2 Good news is, both versions are Broadcom. On the whole, it appears to be very minor improvements for V2 (a little faster, an additional core, 2.5Gb WAN, etc.). That's...

    RT-AC1900P and RT-AX86U Pro - issues with video calls

    Have you tried using the QoS features of your ASUS router in order to given your laptop and/or that service higher priority? Because it sure sounds from your description that is the issue.

    Help Needed: Configuring OpenVPN Server and Instant Guard on Asus GT-AX11000 with Technicolor CobraXh Modem Router

    That's why you should be using DDNS to keep a *dynamic* host name updated w/ your primary router's public IP. Go to WAN->DDNS on the ASUS router and configure it w/ www.asus.com and your preferred hostname (provided it isn't already registered by someone else). It will automatically detect...

    Help Needed: Configuring OpenVPN Server and Instant Guard on Asus GT-AX11000 with Technicolor CobraXh Modem Router

    I assume you exported the OpenVPN client config file using the OpenVPN server's export function. That file can be edited w/ any text editor. Just change the remote directive from the private IP (192.168.1.103) to your public IP (or DDNS name if you're using it), save it, and use that modified...

    Help Needed: Configuring OpenVPN Server and Instant Guard on Asus GT-AX11000 with Technicolor CobraXh Modem Router

    Most likely you exported the config file from the GT-AX11000 which is pointing to your *private* IP on the WAN! You need to change the remote directive in that config file to point to the *public* IP (or DDNS if you're using it) of the primary router.

    Import long ovpn file

    I don't know if the limit is so much a function of the import itself, as much as a limit of nvram where the custom configuration must be stored. Really depends on a lot on your router and how much flash is available for these purposes. Regardless, can't you just separate the routes from the...

    DSL-AX82U HTTP/HTTPS Port Forwarding

    One possibility that many ppl overlook is the target machine perhaps having a personal firewall that's preventing the remote access. IOW, the traffic is reaching the target but it's being rejected by the target itself. If problems persist, I suggest dumping the relevant portions of the...

    DSL-AX82U HTTP/HTTPS Port Forwarding

    If you have access to SSH, you can issue the following command to see what if anything is already listening on those ports that may be preventing you from using them yourself. netstat -tupln I realize that some ASUS GUIs have a similar feature (Network Tools->Netstat), but I prefer the command...

    Migrating from OpenVPN to Wiregaurd

    You need better hardware, NOT a change in VPN. It's mighty convenient to use the router, so it's the first choice of most ppl. But your typical consumer-grade router is a poor platform for many services. I had the same problem until I moved it to a SFF PC I threw together out of old spare...

    OpenVPN Client in ASUS causes IP/routing conflict

    Or else change the OpenVPN server's IP network to something other than the default such that it doesn't conflict w/ that of the local OpenVPN client. I realize that's NOT always possible w/ OEM firmware. They sometimes hide such details. Or else it's configurable under another heading, such...

    Clarification and Discussion on Recent 388.8 Changes

    Astrill provides their own implementation of OpenVPN that (afaik) has nothing to do w/ the router's implementation, and thus has nothing to do w/ the discussions here. Any questions about how their Applet works or should to be configured needs to be addressed by Astrill tech support.

    Openvpn access problems

    There's also a risk of a conflict w/ the tunnel's IP network, which by default, is often in the 10.x.x.x range. I once visited a large hotel in Pennsylvania that decided to use 192.168.0.0/16 for its own IP network. Yes, the entire 192.168.x.x range, all 64k possible hosts.

    Openvpn access problems

    If you're connected to the OpenVPN server and your app (ssh or anything else) references the remote IP network over the tunnel, either because you've made the tunnel your default gateway or pushed it to the OpenVPN client, it should be routed through the tunnel and work. Usually. So what could...

    Routing my VPN Server through VPN Client 1 Having issues with Facetime

    Out of curiosity, I tried Passepartout myself. I was particularly interested in whether it supported bridged (TAP) OpenVPN tunnels w/ my iPhone, since traditionally this has NOT been possible w/ OpenVPN Connect on iOS, presumably a limitation imposed by Apple. But I wasn't sure, so I tried it...

    Connecting a Pool Heater

    If I had to bet, it probably is shoddy wireless, much like most of the wireless you find on smart TVs. That's why I avoid wireless as much as possible, relegating it (ideally) to mobile devices. Sometimes devices will have been developed and tested w/ older networking equipment, and sometimes...

    Network places accessible from internet

    By "see", some users mean they don't see resources listed under Network Places (or whatever MS is calling it these days). That feature relies on network discovery, which will NOT typically work across a routed (TUN) tunnel. It may work w/ a bridged tunnel (TAP), but WG doesn't support bridged...
