    UI issues after upgrade 386.2_2

    Updated from 386.1_2 to 386.2_2. All seemed to go well, but when on the VPN Client screen I turned on a client and clicked updated, it did seem to work, but the screen went haywire and ended up like this. This is repeatable. Doing a refresh brings back this same screen. I can logout, and...

    Router Reboot & VPN status

    Have both an OpenVPN client and server running on my router (Merlin 386.1_2) and I've noticed after a router reboot, both the client and the server are turned off. Is this expected behavior or not. If it is expected, is there some way to auto restart the client and the server?

    Open VPN Client- Very Weird Experience

    So, there is some logic to this, BUT, far more common is youmaremdone using the VPN client and wish to terminate the connection. Since thismismanmaction that is initiated by the user, it was most likely not his intent to lose access to the internet in the process.

    Open VPN Client- Very Weird Experience

    Well, as several have noted, that was the issue. But I disagree with the logic that if the VPN client is closed, that is equivalent to losing the internet. I have a PIA client for my laptop, and I have the kill switch enabled, yet never the less, if I turn off the client, as opposed to,lose the...

    AC86U running 386.1_2. Playing around with the VPN client. Using OpenVPN connection to PIA server. Was trying to see what I could do with Netflix. Setup config and told router to Force Internet traffic through tunnel via Policy Rules. Setup 2 rules: My Firestick would go through VPN and my...

    Open VPN Server

    Success! Was perusing through the client settings of the OpenVPN client on the phone. There was a section called "Routing" and under that was a checkbox for IPv4 -> Use Default Route (Redirects all traffic through the VPN). It was unchecked,. I checked it and reconnected the VPN. All seems...

    Open VPN Server

    So no, not using IPv6 on server side On client side,, when using WiFi, it connect to router using IPv4 But apparently, when phone connects to T-Mobile servers for IP over cellular, it is using IPv6 as well as IPv4

    Not using IPv6 anywhere on the server side. Only time I seee that is where phone is off the vpn. here's the server config; ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC86U 386.1_2 Fri Feb 12 22:48:22 UTC 2021 admin@RT-AC86U-4DC0:/tmp/home/root# cat /tmp/etc/openvpn/server1/config.ovpn daemon ovpn-server1 topology...

    Open VPN Server

    So, the interesting part of the log file has these two lines: You have specified redirect-gaeway and redirect-private at the same time (or the same option multiple times). This is not well supported and may lead to unexpected results NOTE: unable to redirect IPv4 default gateway - Couldn't...

    Open VPN Server

    Only other test machines are PC's, and since they require internet, which would come from the same router, not very meaninful. Will try setting up a hotspot from my phone tomorrow, and see where that gets me. I did examine the client.ovpn file, and the push "redirect-gateway def1" statement was...

    Open VPN Server

    WhatsMyIP.com is a website displaying your current IP address. Access it from my phone by bringing up Chrome. So it should, if going through the router, display the IP the router is connected to.

    Open VPN Server

    My bad on modifying the NAT rules. Since that involves a reboot of the router, will have to schedule that for a time when TV is not in use. :) As for the phone though, when it is just on cellular, it's address is 192.0.0.2 connecting to a router at 192.0.0.1 and then on to the internet. So...

    Open VPN Server

    I tried the push push "redirect-gateway def1" all by itself. No change in behavior. And with this test, windows not even involved - Android phone to Asus router. In any case, I inserted the iptables .... code in. This time, after clicking Apply on router, it came back with the message...

    Open VPN Server

    Am running Merlin 386.1_2 So, I decided to implement OpenVPN server on my AC86U. Technically, it went well, and my test client Samsung S20 connected to the VPN. Having said that, my phone behaves as if it were still just connected to my ISP - T-Mobile. WiFi is turned off on the phone, just...

    To AiMesh or not to AiMesh - that is the question

    Went with AiMesh with a 2 router configuration. Previously had 2nd router set up as AP. The practical difference is very little. Yes, the living room is a little slower than before, but still more than fast enough for what I do - including internet based TV. It is definitely easier to...

    ASUS App

    Routers (AC86U and AC68U) running Merlin 386.1 and using AiMesh. So out of curiosity, I downloaded the ASUS app. It seems to give me an accurate picture of my setup, including that I am running 386.1. It also informed me that there was a firmware update available for both routers. Simple...

    Duplicate MAC

    So I recently updated to 386.1 (everything seems fine) and configured for the first time AiMesh (AC86U is primary and AC68U is node connected via ethernet backhaul), and again, all seems to be working well. However, when I went to the Network Management screen for AiMesh, I noticed that the MAC...
