    Decided to send an email to the ABC describing my partial success and seeking their technical help to make livestream work (asked for suggestions and additional ip addresses if needed). Will be interesting to see if they respond!

    Asus merlin router, vpn, selective policy website routing

    Again thank you. Just to add more complexity, the partial success and all the other attempts were done using an ipad. The abc forces you to use their ios app to access iview. As I said, partial success. I thought I might just try using my windows 10 laptop-tried both firefox and chrome. No...

    Asus merlin router, vpn, selective policy website routing

    Re your earlier post. Just to recap Code: 104.64.0.0/10 Works on its own for catchup programs, not for livestream 104.74.32.0/20 Doesn't work on its own entering both as separate policy rules makes no difference - catchup still ok, no livestream re The CIDR ranges can be viewed at...

    Asus merlin router, vpn, selective policy website routing

    Partial success with the first ip address, 104.64.0.0/10 Just to explain, the website contains 2 groups of tv programs. The first group contains all of the programs previously broadcast and which can be viewed as "catchups" via the website. Success with this group. The second group contains...

    Asus merlin router, vpn, selective policy website routing

    I have an Asus RTAC56U with the most recent firmware. I have set up vpn so that, apart from a voip phone and smart tv which ago through the WAN, all other devices go through the vpn. There is one website (iview.abc.net.au) which is accessible through the WAN but not through the vpn because of...

    asus merlin openvpn - unable to disengage

    I've now installed 2 vpn clients and everything is working perfectly. So it seems that the initial problem was a weird, one off, event.

    asus merlin openvpn - unable to disengage

    I may try to install an openvpn client again and try to replicate the problem. In retrospect the difficult part was trying different options to stop or remove the vpn, as mentioned in my first post which didn’t work. After the factory reset it was not difficult to reconfigure the router to my...

    asus merlin openvpn - unable to disengage

    Thank you for your interest It was definitely the vpn client, not server, settings Re the ip leaktest. I'm sure also that it was not cached results. My normal ping latency is about 9ms and speeds about 35mbps. While I was having this problem and trying to disengage I checked ping and...

    asus merlin openvpn - unable to disengage

    I configured my asus merlin router (rtac56 fm 384.6) to use openvpn with with one client. That worked well but, mainly because of slow speeds, I decided to not continue using the router as the gateway to my vpn. However, whatever I did to try to stop this, see below, the router kept...

    Asus rt ac56u, Merlin Firmware and wifi virtual hosted network problem

    Some 3 years ago I installed Connectify (to create a wifi hotspot on my Win 7 laptop to share internet access) and used it without problems for a while. I then didn't use it for some years. Last month I started to use the program again but found it no longer worked properly. Essentially...

    forward ports only only for a specific external ip address

    Thank you. My interest in this topic started when my voip provider gave me a list of 10,000 udp ports which needed to be opened and forwarded to my minitar ata. I found very concerning the need open this insanely large number of ports My first thought was to at least restrict access to these...

    forward ports only only for a specific external ip address

    Having thought about this it seems that this can be done quite simply using ip tables using two rules in sequence, The first line ---- allow anything from a specific ip address the second line---- drop everything. So the "allowed ip" passes through, and any other ip is sent to the second...

    forward ports only only for a specific external ip address

    Asus rt-56u running merlin firmware. I have just set up a voip phone service. The service provider requires ports 5060:5069 (udp) for sip and 10000:200000 (udp) rtp When I queried the need and security concern for 10000 ports to be opened I was told I could limit access to these ports...

    rt-ac56u using openvpn-forced dns redirection by isp

    I tried "exclusive" in the (VPN/Openvpn advanced settings/accept dns configuration) and that didn;t work. Later I came across the following http://www.snbforums.com/threads/openvpn-dns-leaking.25295/ There RMerlin's simple answer was to set up a DNSfilter. I found this under the...

    rt-ac56u using openvpn-forced dns redirection by isp

    I'm using the latest version of the Merlin firmware on an rt-ac56u. I need to use the vdsl modem/router supplied by my isp. My landline is now voip and the supplied modem router is needed to make my voip service work because the sip voip settings are encrypted. Consequently I have to use...

    Thank you. Very much appreciated. Your suggestion worked nicely. I set all values to 50 and that gave me the exact signal strength reduction I wanted.
