    Set Zyxel XS1920 as unmanaged switch

    Ah, I see. OK, I'll try that. Thank you.

    Set Zyxel XS1920 as unmanaged switch

    Thanks for the replies, and thanks for the note to change password (of course). With factory default configuration, the switch creates a managed subnet on 192.168.1.1. I want the switch to extend an existing home network which I have set up on 192.168.2.1. Here's a diagram of what the new...

    Set Zyxel XS1920 as unmanaged switch

    I have a Zyxel XS1920 smart managed switch https://www.zyxel.ch/de/support/download/201962_1/ I want to use it just as a unmanaged switch; like a QNAP QSW-1208. So I don't need it to be smart, I just need it to be simple so I can plug it in to extend an existing network. Can anyone advise in...

    Port forwarding and VPN

    Thanks. I would be very grateful if you could recommend a provider that is free, turnkey, and offers an update client that works well with Linux. I could then presumably run the update client on the LAN machine in question.

    Port forwarding and VPN

    If this is reference to my original question, to clarify for the record: I have a router running a VPN client to a commercial VPN service. So the router is associated with two IP addresses: a "real" one from my ISP, and a "virtual" one from my VPN provider. I also have a machine on the router...

    Port forwarding and VPN

    Thanks. So would it be fair to say that from the link provided https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Policy-based-Port-routing-(manual-method) the Example 2 seems most relevant? Suppose ALL traffic from LAN device 192.168.1.88 is routed via a VPN but hosts the RDP service (Port 3389)...

    Port forwarding and VPN

    ... and I'm a noob at iptables.

    Port forwarding and VPN

    Thank you. Are you able to be more specific and provide precise links to a relevant post or relevant posts? To be clear, I have been searching for a solution for some time also before I posted on this forum, but the internet is large, and seemingly relevant material, like this post on port...

    Port forwarding and VPN

    Thank you for the reply! I'm sorry that I don't understand: are you able to elaborate in more simple terms? In particular I don't understand "the port must be forwarded [to the VPN service provider's server]", because the Asus firmware only allows to forward ports to LAN addresses, not WAN...

    Port forwarding and VPN

    I have an Asus RT-AX88U running Merlin firmware version 384.14. The router is running an OpenVPN client which is connected to a commercial VPN provider, with a rule for routing client traffic through the tunnel (a selective routing rule) that 192.168.1.0/24 goes through the VPN. In other...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 regressions

    Yes, thank you. I photographed all relevant screens, reset, and manually reentered settings. The router is now performing normally. Thank you for the links: M&M Config https://www.snbforums.com/threads/noob-definition-of-minimal-and-manual-configuration.27115/#post-205573 Nuclear Reset...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 regressions

    All good. Manual reset of settings cleared problems. To my initial alarm the issues persisted for a while, but then matters seem to have just settled of their own accord. Thanks for the help.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 regressions

    Reporting back: * I re-uploaded the 314.14 firmware. * I saved the settings. * From Administration I did a "Factory default" with the checkbox ticked for "Initialize all the settings, and clear all the data log for AiProtection, Traffic Analyzer, and Web History". * At the fresh startup...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 regressions

    Thank you for your replies. I reverted to an older firmware (314.10.2) but the issues persisted. So, I will factory reset and reconfigure, as suggested. All the best for 2020.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 regressions

    Thanks to Merlin for creating this firmware. Upgrade to 384.14 displays the following regressions: 1. Attempts to switch "Enable the DDNS Client" to "Yes" crash httpd. (Can be restarted with "service restart_httpd" on cli.) 2. Router has internet, but internet status always shows as...
