    SSH into RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U how to make files persist?

    So what you are saying is that I should not configure on the command line but through the GUI? Can I enter whatever I like as custom config in that box? For example I need to create a user profile, say "RouterCabin" and this user shall need a ccd entry (client config dir entry) like this in a...

    SSH into RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U how to make files persist?

    I want to manually configure advanced options for the OpenVPN server on my two ASUS routers. But when I log on to the devices via SSH it turns out that even /etc is symlinked into /tmp/etc, which suggests that the file system is temporary only (in RAM). How can I then modify files there and have...

    Site-to-site connection using RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U?

    But it was still overly complicated so I decided to do it all on my Linux OpenVPN server instead. On that it is VERY easy and done in a matter of minutes! Here is the crucial official documentation! My system now works fine with the remote ASUS router connecting by OpenVPN to my Linux server...

    ASUS RT-AC86U as VPN server - how to route client network to server LAN

    OK, it turned out that with help from Tincantech over at the OpenVPN official site I got hold of this information: Include multiple client side machines It turns out to be dead simple to do everything needed on the existing OpenVPN server on my Linux box, so I did so and was done in about 10...

    Hi, I have a question regarding operations on the router file system via ssh: When logging on I have noted that the file system when doing listings starts with tmp like in cd /tmp/NewCert This became a red flag for me and before I start using the tutorial I want to know if this file system is...

    I have two sites (home and summer home) both with fiber connection to Internet. The summer home was installed a week or so ago. I am going to put an ASUS RT-AC68U at the summer home, so I have configured it to connect by VPN to my home site using my Linux server at home as OpenVPN server. This...

    How to enable mobile network on Ubuntu Server using Huawei E3372

    Today I tried the E3372 on my HP laptop running Ubuntu Desktop 20.04.3. I just plugged it into an USB3 port and watched the green light turn blue after some time. Then I inspected the system: $ dmesg usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd usb 3-1: New USB device found...

    How to enable mobile network on Ubuntu Server using Huawei E3372

    Yes it uses eth1 when used on my RaspberryPi3 and it displays an IP address in the private range, so it implements a NAT "router" of sorts towards the RPi3. I can use that connection to go to the internet from the RPi but it depends on the way routing is set up. I have to fix the metric for the...

    How to enable mobile network on Ubuntu Server using Huawei E3372

    I have a Huawei E3372 USB dongle for connecting to LTE 4G mobile networks. With this I use a SIM from a Swedish provider. When I plug this into a Raspberry Pi4 device it connects in about 20-30 seconds and I can use it to communicate on the Internet. The command ifconfig shows both eth0 and eth1...

    Site-to-site connection using RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U?

    I found a very big tutorial on this subject right here on the forum! It is pretty extensive so I will probably need some days to digest it. ;)

    Site-to-site connection using RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U?

    Well, in order for the client devices on both sides to have access to the other side the arbiter MUST be the router in both sides. I have tested to let the summer home router connect to my home VPN server and this works inasfar as allowing hosts on the summer home LAN to access the devices on...

    RT-AC68U OpenVPN with only local traffic?

    Yes, server side I am all set. I just have to add a new client with certificates and all targeting the split tunnel port. But that was not really my question, it was specifically about how the Asus RT-AC68U will handle it when I activate the VPN option in the configuration. Will it act like any...
