    Dual Stack home network pros and cons

    Do you know of any examples where an ASUS customer's private network has been penetrated because the IPv6 firewall on ASUS devices is insufficient? I understand with IPv6 there is no NAT. Thats the nature of IPv6. But, if there is a major concern with the firewall on ASUS routers, especially...

    Dual Stack home network pros and cons

    Scan for open ports and also attempted to access ports and service that I know to be open.

    Dual Stack home network pros and cons

    I am trying to understand. Can you elaborate? I have tested this several times with the IPv6 firewall on and I haven't seen an exposure. Once the IPv6 firewall is turned off, of course, there are issues.

    Dual Stack home network pros and cons

    I guess the point I am trying to make is, even though the IPv6 firewall may be "very light," your internal devices are not accessible from the outside with IPv6 enabled.

    Dual Stack home network pros and cons

    This of course doesn't mean that unsolicited inbound traffic isn't being blocked by default.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    I will give you another example. There is a neat DNS filtering/redirection service called ControlD. Some of its features require IPv6. Who knows how many people use this service. But you said, "What isn't working with IPv4 only." Here is another example.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    Again, none of this matters. You said you don't understand why people run dual stack, This is an example as to why. I need dual stack so that I can use IPv6 on T-Mobile and also access the devices on my network that do not support IPv6. Sure, I could turn off IPv6 on all my devices. But...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    And? You said you didn't understand why people are running IPv6. This is an example.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    T-Mobile Home Internet is entirely IPv6.

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 beta is now available

    Because my ISP is entirely IPv6. If I were to switch to IPv4 only, I would have another level of IPv4 and IPv6 conversion and another level of NAT.

    Block all IPv6 traffic from specific device: use iptables?

    Just an FYI, when you use the block internet setting in the web GUI, the entry is put in the FORWARD chain of iptables and ip6tables. So, I would think ip6tables is the place to do this.

    Possible RT-AC5300 performance degradation

    I have been having a similar problem with my AC5300 for years. But, only it occurs on the 5GHZ-2 band. When the router first boots, the speed on the 5GHZ-2 band is good. But, after an hour or two, the speed on that band is too poor to use. So, I keep that band disabled. It doesn't matter...

    Force routing through receiving interface rather than default gateway

    What you listed here is real close to what I had been trying. The difference between yours and mine, I used -A instead of -I on the top two commands. Also, for the second command, I used the wrong interface. And finally, I used 0x4000/0x4000 for the mark. I got that from the examples. At...

    Force routing through receiving interface rather than default gateway

    Thanks a lot.. I will check this out as soon as I return.

    Force routing through receiving interface rather than default gateway

    I have a server that hosts a web server on a nonstandard port. On my router, I have a VPN client connection to a VPN service that allows me to open that particular port on the public side of the VPN. On my router, I have forwarded the port of the web server. This all works fine if I force all...

    Force routing through receiving interface rather than default gateway

    Actually, the command I sent earlier was not the complete command I am using. What I sent is missing the tun interface. I am actually trying to forward an inbound port only through a particular VPN cient. The actual iptables command I am using is listed below. The forwarding is working as I...

    Force routing through receiving interface rather than default gateway

    Excuse my ignorance, but the only way I can get this to work at all is by adding it to PREROUTING. If I add it to VSERVER, which is what the GUI does, it doesn't forward. And thanks for the link. Thats actually where I stared. I have been trying to interpret that document and by trial and...

    Force routing through receiving interface rather than default gateway

    I have an RT-AC5300 running ASUS Merlin 386.2. I have opened up a port to a server inside my LAN by using the iptables command listed below. I am using this command instead of the GUI because I also want VPN clients on the ASUS router to allow the port to be forwarded. The port forwarding...

    Can "Web History" be sorted by date (rather than hostname)?

    It used to be sorted by date until ASUS made a change last year to the firmware. I opened a case about it but got nowhere. I really wish they would revert it. Its useless to me sorting by domain name.

    Web History not working

    I gave up on ASUS Support last week. I doubt this problem will ever be fixed. I did escalate to a higher person. But they only seem interested in me sending my router in for repair despite the person agreeing that the problem is with the firmware. I'm pretty sure they closed my case again...
