    Trying to clone an RT-AC88U to use as a backup

    Got it. Makes total sense now.

    Trying to clone an RT-AC88U to use as a backup

    Ok, I did get it working. What I did was: set the Server back to Defaults and reentered the appropriate settings. Then Exported OpenVPN configuration file. Then Imported .ovpn file in the Client tab. Saved the client1.ovpn file to the appropriate folder on the laptop and bingo I was in. Thanks...

    Trying to clone an RT-AC88U to use as a backup

    Yes you are correct I am using Merlin's firmware. What I was trying to say is I am using the router's built in VPN not something like NordVPN. Please see the third screen cap below. From this post (https://www.snbforums.com/threads/jffs-backup-and-restore.65925/#post-612654) you stated "If...

    Trying to clone an RT-AC88U to use as a backup

    I did a hard reset before flashing with Asuswrt-Merlin and uploading the saved cfg. Everything seems to be working perfectly except I can't figure out how to save a client.ovpn file for use on my laptop.

    Trying to clone an RT-AC88U to use as a backup

    Trying to clone an RT-AC88U to use as a backup. Seemed pretty straight forward. I reset to factory defaults, flashed with the same Asuswrt-Merlin as on the other RT-AC88U and uploaded the saved settings from the other router. Powered up the newer router and all seemed perfect until I tried to...

    Allow access to port only from certain remote IP's

    Ok, I did that and used my cell as a hotspot and was able to connect to a computer in my network with RDP. When I turned off the hotspot the RDP connection was lost. That's great. My last question would be, why don't hackers attack OpenVPN?

    Allow access to port only from certain remote IP's

    Colin, I did the following. I uploaded the client.ovpn file to my laptop. From there I have no idea what to do.

    Allow access to port only from certain remote IP's

    The answer to the OpenVPN question is...I know how to do port forwarding for RDP but I'm totally ignorant when it comes to any other methods.

    Allow access to port only from certain remote IP's

    Colin, Thanks, everything is working fine now. Deepcuts, I forgot about that website. I haven't used it in at least 15 years. I would like to take this RDP access to the next level. Is there a way to have one pc on my network or vlan that would be turned on only when I'm on the road that...

    Allow access to port only from certain remote IP's

    Colin, Thanks so much for your replies. I will be at location tomorrow where I will be able to try and connect from a IPv4 address.

    Allow access to port only from certain remote IP's

    Ok, I tried making the Source Target to my cell phones IPv6 IP address 2600:1001:b02c:418b:4d9d:9e37:522a:5d07 and I was able to log in. If my local networks exposed IP address is 73.188.105.2 then why can't I use 73.188.105.2:25090 from within my local network to test?

    Allow access to port only from certain remote IP's

    Here is a screen cap of the port forwarding screen on my Asus RT-AC88U. I tried putting the IP of the PC making the RDP request in the Source Target cell. That did not work. Obviously I am missing something.

    Allow access to port only from certain remote IP's

    I am using an Asus RT-AC88U and would like to restrict access to port 3389 (RDP). I would like to only allow certain remote (outside my local network) IP addresses to gain access. It appeared I could do this using Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and setting an inbound rule on Remote...
