    How to generate keys for OpenVPN

    O.k. I thought about to make a complete reset, but it was not my aim. So I tried again different times, but I also cleared the JFFS, did some reboots and tried again to generate the .ovpn Yes I had explicitly to use an external cert/key (not sure why inline cert/key isn't working). But at least...

    How to generate keys for OpenVPN

    Hi, I am using an AC87U with newest version 55.0. Is there currently a rule how to generate ca and keys, given the fact that there are newer openSSL versions? If I generate those keys on a newest Linux machine is there a mismatch or are there only not supported/missing (more secure) cipher...

    web server internally not accessible, but externally

    Hi both, great that I got your response. Coxhaus: It is important to know that it was never necessary before to add static DNS entries (was using the originial Asus software). Of course I could do this as well by adding the address in the hosts file - but I didn't and do not want to do! This...

    web server internally not accessible, but externally

    I am a little bit lost (just installed last version of Merlin on a RT-AC87U). Having a web server running on an internal IP 192.168.1.50 I see the basic wwww-server page using the internal IP (but of course not the virtual server www.abc.com). So web server is running and accessible...

    O.k. I am Consultant and need to have access to a Backup-HDD which is accessible via VPN. (and I do not want to use public cloud storage or a big server). But this means beside the generated key (which you have to store somewhere on your device) to type in the passphrase (if configured). 2FA...

    Openvpn server how to set password challenging

    Hi, yes you're right, it's a commercial product, but... 10 users are free (so no worry about this part, for our aims it's more than enough) they provide a plugin (https://www.duosecurity.com/docs/openvpn), which can be found on GitHub So if it can be installed on JFSS (best option) or USB...

    OpenVPN and dnsmasq hostnames

    AFAIK, this is not possible, it's a typical openVPN issue :-)

    Openvpn server how to set password challenging

    2 factor authentification To have this password protection (vpn key) is a good idea, but much better would be to have a two factor authentification which is secured by google authenticate or others. Have a look at this: https://www.duosecurity.com/vpn As you can see openVPN is supported in...

    admin access / ip-adress / how to change and hard-reset

    Hi, many, many thanks for the competent answer. It's good to have such an "Oracle". Is there a source where I would be able to look for myself for such answers, the Guide surely will not reveal it :-)

    admin access / ip-adress / how to change and hard-reset

    Hi, I changed the router's main IP-address from 192.168.1.1 to another one (192.168.5.1). But I forgot to change most likely the allowed IP for remote administration which I initially set to 192.168.1.99. So -the AC66U having the wished IP now- I can't access the administration page (?because...

    Web-GUI/ Samba-Shares stopping regularily

    Hi, I am experiencing very often that the Samba shares (connected USB HDD) or even the Admin-GUI some times isn't working. WLAN/IP-Routing is still working, I can SSH and restart the router. Afterwards all is fine again. This is currently the only cure... BTW: I have a daily reboot cron job...

    DynDNS own Scripts/cron jobs

    Hi RMerlin, thanks. Later that evening the IP's were the same, maybe there was an issue with updating the DNS?? And no, the cable router was already in "bridge mode", so I see only the IP from the cable provider... But can I ask again regarding the other qustions? - MC >> I understand, I have...

    mounting JFFS at boot time

    Had exact the same situation, but doing it different times again and again (manual formatting) brought success :) But one short question: This "drive" is now permanent and automatically mounted at start; right? I know it's not intended for permantent write operations...

    DynDNS own Scripts/cron jobs

    Hi, Regarding DynDNS (on Merlin build 3.0.0.4.260.21) I have some questions: 1. General: I created a DynDNS account at asuscomm.com, but it seems that it isn't working correctly. Comparing the public IP from the Cable Provider and the pinged IP the result shows completely different IP’s. So...
