    How to enable ssh/web access from VPN

    Reading your post and the replies, I’m not fully sure what you want to do. However, I will tell you my setup and what it allows me to do. I have OpenVPN Server on my router (and the OpenVPN client on my laptop and Apple devices). With an OpenVPN remote connection from an external...

    Asus RT-AC68U 386.2_6 low on free nvram

    Just worked for me, thanks Colin, after I got the message post update to 386.5 (from 386.2). Anything to avoid a factory reset.

    A stupid question how to block access to my LAN when using OpenVPN

    And there’s no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer, something there’s no danger of ever getting from Colin.

    Unbound How to flush cache in Unbound Manager?

    Of course! Serves me right for not keeping on top of this stuff. Thanks, Dave. And thanks for not saying: Try unbound_manager advanced, you p*!#@!

    Unbound How to flush cache in Unbound Manager?

    I need to flush the cache. I tried going into Advanced Tools by typing unbound_manager at the command prompt, but I get the same set of options as selecting 7 in amtm, and rs is not in the list of options. So rs or rs nocache is not recognised. i have a vague memory of Martineau possibly...

    Unbound Unbound whitelist googleads

    Are you using Diversion and/or Skynet? If so, that’s where you’d be whitelisting googleads, not Unbound, which is just a lookup service, it can’t perform sny blocking functions, so far as I know. And, why, when most of us eagerly block googleads, do you need to let it through? (Or...

    OpenVPN Usernames and Passwords not working

    That you say “if I try to add any new usernames/passwords to my router, they don't get saved either.” suggests possibly more than one simple glitch. Have you tried clearing the OpenVPN setup and starting again? I think the default button does that, but I’m not going to test it on mine...

    Diversion Youtube overlay ads

    How are you running NextDNS; with 45.90.28.36 and 45.90.30.36 in your WAN DNS Settings or by one of the other options it offers?

    ntpMerlin What is ntpMerlin?

    I run many of the add-ons but I don’t use ntpMerlin. I may well be wrong - I await feedback - but I suspect ntpMerlin is one of those things that, it you have to ask what it is, you have no need of it. (That’s no criticism of your skills or capabilities- it also applies to me.)

    Skynet Skynet banning Steam/Instagram/Facebook IPs all of a sudden

    Have you tried a Skynet uninstall and reinstall yet? So easy and quick to do; if that doesn’t work you could then always reset the router using L&LD’s guides.

    Skynet Skynet banning Steam/Instagram/Facebook IPs all of a sudden

    How about uninstalling Skynet and then reinstalling it? And for good measure possibly throw in a router reboot in between.

    Skynet Skynet banning Steam/Instagram/Facebook IPs all of a sudden

    Have you looked at the second post on this link https://www.snbforums.com/threads/skynet-router-firewall-security-enhancements.16798/ Help! - Application.exe or Website.com Is Blocked; people go to great lengths to block Facebook and instagram - don’t know what Steam is, so I can’t comment...

    OpenVPN on the LAN question

    Yes, correct: nothing to do with port forwarding but the protocol of the OpenVPN connection. (And my vpn network type is TUN, as opposed to TAP; I’m sure yours will be, too.) Funny old thing, but so long as you can connect remotely....

    OpenVPN on the LAN question

    I found what I was part remembering: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/connect-to-openvpn-from-same-lan.48764/post-429771 Yes indeed, curiosity killed the cat. As you imply, the trick is to know when to leave well alone and when to dig deeper. But I’m surprised you find a difference...

    OpenVPN on the LAN question

    Thrawn, welcome to the forum. i can’t give you an explanation, but I can tell you what I’ve noticed. I run both OpenVPN servers. One is set to the udp protocol and the other I set to Port 443 using the tcp protocol. The latter often allows me to connect when a public wifi has taken...

    Diversion Help: I locked myself out while playing with Diversion

    i know that feeling, which is why, when in a setting-up dialogue, I really appreciate the guidance, sometimes provided, as to which is the recommended setting. But when I’m in the situation you describe, I simply close the SSH session and then re-open it and start afresh. i haven’t needed to...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Thanks, yes, I’ve been using OpenVPN for years, but I was fascinated to read your post and keen to try it. (I have previously put Tunnelblick on a Mac and never knew there was an alternative.)

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    What am I missing? On 384.18 RT-AC68U, I go to VPN Server page (General) and I don’t see IPSec. I see OpenVPN and PPTP, but no IPSec. (I have both OpenVPN servers running. I turned one off but still no IPSec.)
