    Solved issue accessing a LAN device thru OpenVPN Server connected device

    Hi all, See below: So, when I am connected on my second router via its OpenVPN Server, I cannot browse/access my device located in the subnet of my main router (192.168.1.x). Access to any device connected to my second router (192.168.98.x) is OK. What am I missing in order for this to work ...

    problem with connection between wan and device connected to vpn client

    Hi, yes, it is also possible to access your VU remotely while being protected by your VPN client on your router if your VPN provider allows port forward and provides you a "static ip". After having defined the port fwd at your VPN provider side, you need to have a nat-start script on your router...

    Isolating specific IoT wired device

    ... I was hoping some iptables rules would do the trick, since the device has a DHCP reservation hence always gets the same ip address ... In addition, the device in question is not directly connected to the router, but via a switch. I did not mentioned this initially because I thought it was a...

    Isolating specific IoT wired device

    Thanks for your answer. I want to stick to Merlin, of course. Thanks for the link, this seems quite complex to/for me. And for the last option, I do not have any additional router available. Rgds, GS

    Hi all, I am looking for an easy way to isolate a specific IoT device (a Somfy Tahoma box) that has not wireless capabilities hence being connected to a LAN port on the router. It has a specific DHCP reservation, it needs accessing the internet and I would like to make sure that this box cannot...

    Question on Guests network ip range on AX86

    Hi, I have just activated 2 guest network on 2.4GHz and noticed that: Guest 1 => clients get IP in the format of 192.168.101.x Guest 2 and 3 => clients get IP in the format of 192.168.1.x which is the same range as my main router Any idea why guest 1 has another way of configuring ? Thanks, GS

    accessing second router behind first router

    Bingo ! Now, everything works OK by changing the NAT acceleration parameter that used to be on auto on downstream router. Setting to disabled allows me bi-directional comm. Thanks ALL for your contributions, GS

    accessing second router behind first router

    Hi, some "time scheduling" were defined to block access for some systems. I have removed them. I also installed unbound out-of-the-box and I know there was some requirement to set dns filter but I have not customized anything in this area. Thanks. GS

    accessing second router behind first router

    Yes, second router = 87U = downstream router, in all my messages. cheers Edit: concerning iptables, I have not done anything since it was mentioned that static route on one side and correct wan-ip on the other side would make it.

    accessing second router behind first router

    Hi, I confirm that when NAT is disabled on downstream, the internet connection is lost despite the manual DNS setting. So, there might/could be a difference due to firmware version. cheers.

    accessing second router behind first router

    Thanks. I have changed the DNS on second router: rebooted but still cannot access PC2 from PC1, ping gives 100% paket loss even if windows firewall is disabled on PC2 .... (anyway leaving firewall disabled on PC2 is not really an option, but I understand it is OK for test purposes). Rgds, GS...

    accessing second router behind first router

    Thanks @Martineau . Yes, this is the static route on my main router (AX86) Yes, there is a reserved IP (192.168.1.98 as shown in one of previous post) for AC87U which is the downstream router, and yes it gets an automatic WAN-IP (192.168.1.98) from the main router (BTW, just for testing I...

    accessing second router behind first router

    Truly static as defined on main router as 192.168.1.98. DNS servers : and here: but I guess all these DNS settings were automatically defined.
