    AC68R Still Says AC68R After Flashing AC68U

    If AC68R and AC68U are identical hardware in different packaging, how does my AC68R still show "AC68R" when I browse router.asus.com after flashing it with Merlin AC68U 384.19? I was expecting that flashing with AC68U firmware would make it look *exactly* like an AC68U. Is the firmware...

    OpenVPN port-share Slows HTTPS 100x

    When I use OpenVPN's port-share to enable OpenVPN server and an HTTPS web server to share port 443, traffic to my HTTPS web server is 100x slower. Is this just a fact with port-share or can I improve that? I'm running Merlin 384.7_2 on a RT-AC68U. Only my external port 443 is allowed to be...

    OpenVPN - Static IP vs Dynamic Pool

    Just to be sure I'm clear... I understand how users can ignore DHCP-assigned addresses on a non-VPN LAN. (e.g. You just configure the interface for a static IP.) If I code "ifconfig-push 10.1.0.123 255.255.255.0" at the server, are you saying that the OpenVPN client can override that...

    Firewall Setting TFM for OpenVPN

    Thanks. That's true for the entries on the router OpenVPN server config page which directly map to OpenVPN settings. e.g. Server Port on the settings page is pretty clearly the same thing as the port number in the OpenVPN config. I could be mistaken, but doesn't the Firewall setting on the...

    Firewall Setting TFM for OpenVPN

    On the OpenVPN server advanced settings page, there is a "Firewall" setting which can be Automatic, External Only, or Custom. Can someone point me to the doc for exactly what these values mean? (I understand that they control the firewall settings used by OpenVPN server. I'm looking for the...

    firewall-start: Something Else Is Inserting a Firewall Rule?

    I inserted a firewall rule via /jffs/script/firewall-start to drop traffic from 10.8.0.0. However, something else inserted an accept-everything rule afterward, so my traffic doesn't get dropped. I'm guessing that something related to OpenVPN did it. When I insert my drop rule manually, after...

    OpenVPN - Static IP vs Dynamic Pool

    I need to assign one user a static IP address; I need to be sure no other users will get that address. I'm doing this because I'm using iptables to grant only this one user access to the LAN. All other users get outbound access to the WAN only. If I do this the 'standard' way, I need to use...

    Lost sh and http

    I had a curious failure of sh and http on Firmware Version:382.1_2. This is an RT-AC88U, and it has been a constant problem. Attempts to hit the web GUI on the internal IP address would hang with no response, so I tried to ssh into the router. ssh would hang after showing the banner, but...

    service restart_vsftpd ineffective

    I can't get "service restart_vsftpd" to do anything besides report "Done." When I change /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf.add and change the value of ftpd_banner, the FTP banner doesn't change. If I restart the router, the banner does change. What magic is needed in order to really reload vsftpd...

    vsftpd anon_root ineffective

    I can't get anon_root to work for vsftpd. It seems to set the default directory, but an anonymous FTP user can chdir out of it. Here's /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf.add: anon_root=/mnt/sony-thumb no_anon_password=YES ftpd_banner=Zing. You got here. The other options work, so I know my...

    DMZ Advice for Printing

    I want to be careful to get this right, because it has to do with security... If I enable the FTP server on my RT-AC88U, and I want to permit solely the scanner on the WAN side to have access (plus I want the LAN side to have access), how can I make that happen? I see the option to enable WAN...

    DMZ Advice for Printing

    Thank you. WAN is another LAN. My kids have reached an age where they are ready to manage their own PCs, but I want to protect family financial data from malware on their machines. I'm setting up 'rings' of security. Inner ring is machines with finance. Middle ring is general purpose...

    DMZ Advice for Printing

    Two questions about using DMZ for printing: In both scenarios, I'm trying to make printer(s) accessible from inside and outside my ASUS/Merlin RT-AC88U. If I need to make one printer available to an inner network (LAN) and outer network (WAN), would DMZ be a good solution? The config page...

    Can't add Static DHCP entry any more - Merlin 382.1/RT-AC86U

    I might have found what changed. I have this item (among others) in dhcp_staticlist <50:9a:4c:ba:bc:bc>192.168.8.82>susanpc and I have these items in /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add dhcp-host=50:9a:4C:ba:bc:bc,192.168.8.82,susanpc dhcp-host=34:f6:4b:72:80:a3,192.168.8.83,susanpc I'm now...

    Can't add Static DHCP entry any more - Merlin 382.1/RT-AC86U

    Do I still use the same old nvram get/set for dhcp_staticlist, or did moving it to a file change the way I should update it? Something changed. I just submitted an nvram set dhcp_statulist, and my router went into a reboot loop. I had to reset it to factory defaults with the reset button.

    DHCP Multiple IP, One DNS Name

    dhcp-host=11:22:33:44:55:66,192.168.1.10,laptop_name dhcp-host=77:88:99:aa:bb:cc,192.168.1.11,laptop_name This successfully makes both NICs have the DNS name laptop_name, but neither of them gets the specified IP address. Both pull from the dynamic pool. Whoops! I failed to set "Enable JFFS...

    DHCP Multiple IP, One DNS Name

    Thank you ColinTaylor. Yes, I really do want to assign a fixed IP address, because I separate my 'known' devices from my unknown devices by IP address range. When someone buys a new device, having it show up in the dynamic DHCP pool makes it easy for me to identify it. I don't think I quite...

    DHCP Multiple IP, One DNS Name

    I have a laptop configured to use either WiFi or Ethernet, but not both at once. I'd like to assign 192.168.1.10 to the WiFi, 192.168.1.11 to the Ethernet, and I'd like DNS to resolve "mylaptop" to whichever IP is currently active. Yeah, I know that WINS can handle this for Windows computers...

    Total Connection Minutes By IP Address

    Ha! It is *very* useful to me. One of my other projects is to set up monitoring of wireless client connects and disconnects. Thanks!
