    Release [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374 LTS release 52E7

    Just wanted to drop my thanks in to you, John. I've just put this on my AC66U for the first time to see what it's like and so far it seems really nice. Feels like this is a better choice than the latest ASUS releases. I installed it from the CFE Mini-Web Server and it uploaded in about 10...

    386.1 Wifi time scheduling

    I would be interested to see if this works myself but as I'm even less of an expert than you it will take a bit of learning what the hell all this means first. I'll get there ;-)

    386.1 Wifi time scheduling

    I wanted to give this a test with the stock firmware myself but I would have to get up quite early to do it as there are a lot of family using the internet all day. I stay up too bloody late :-P

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    The VPN is only active on the PC. I realise that probably makes disabling UPnP on the router irrelevant as it would just be between the PC and the VPN provider but as for the other settings?

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    I only meant a limitation in general but yes I see that you are saying it's probably a limitation sepcifically in UPnP and that makes sense. May I ask if it's strange that after disabling UPnP on the router and on the Windows 7 PC in question that this ability to change ports and have them...

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    So it could just be a limitation of the router software that does not forward UPnP requests to the provider for any clients connecting via it even if the provider supports it?

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    Also, assuming they are willing to accept UPnP connections, is there a reason this would then not work via the router?

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    They used to be called iPredator and then they merged with another branch of theirs to then be called Njalla. The name change was only recent so perhaps you'd have more luck with finding information on iPredator if it hasn't all come down. They are suppose to be all about privacy so I don't know...

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    Sorry, I meant the official OpenVPN client provided by OpenVPN themselves. I use Njalla VPN service. They don't have their own apps to my knowledge but they currently support OpenVPN and WireGuard as the 2 methods to connect.

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    I appreciate your scepticism. If there is anyway I can prove it to you I will. I tried with OpenVPN (using the official client) and WireGuard (using Tunsafe) and with both it says the port is open when uTorrent is open and closed when uTorrent is closed. I used the IP address that was assigned...

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    Haha. Well I know that a lot of routers can be quite slow but I guess more than anything I had hoped that, regardless of throughput speed, the older PC might be a bit quicker in itself if it didn't have to deal with encrypting traffic. It does seem to be a little quicker using it in my initial...

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    Hi there. Thank you for your reply. I realised I hadn't been very specific with what I was asking there. I would rather my router was acting as a client to connect to my VPN provider instead of my PC as my AC86U will most likely be faster than my older PC. But as my router isn't forwarding ports...

    386.1 Wifi time scheduling

    Thank you for you reply @RMerlin. I have highlighted in bold where he mentions the version he uses and that it works on that version. It does indeed say under the release notes for that version "- Fixed parental control issues.".

    VPN not forwarding ports on router.

    Hi guys, Hopefully someone can help me with this as I'm no expert with such things. I have noticed that when I set up my VPN on my PC using either OpenVPN or WireGuard that it allows free access to ports for the programs on my computer without needing to forward them. I can use uTorrent as an...

    386.1 Wifi time scheduling

    I think he's saying that exactly. It says his internet is block and yet he's still able to post that message as it's clearly not blocked. His point is that it's working on the ASUS official version. Merlin has stated before that when it doesn't work there is nothing he can do as it's closed...

    386.1 Wifi time scheduling

    I would like to add that I have the same issue with my AC86U. Was working before with 384.19 and now with 386.1 it's not having it. Even blocking outright doesn't seem to be working properly for me. I did a clean upgrade so it's not due to it being dirty. I know Merlin has said before this is...
