    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.5 is now available

    For me it could also not find the release notes when trying to upgrade from 3004.388.4. The updated work fine now. If I understand correctly, the bug should be fixed and when doing the next upgrade to 388.6 I should be able to find the changelog? Besides... I am always checking your website for...

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    Yes this is exactly what I was thinking and how my webserver is battling spam and attacks... a simple tool to block/ban IPs based on some rules (e.g. getting spammed on a port). This would be a really really neat feature in Asus WRT Merlin @RMerlin :)

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    Thanks for your feedback. Uh good input! I believe I was able to send e-mails while connected to the hotels WLAN so this might be a good idea. I am also still looking for a way to make syncthing work in such scenarios. So I could try using OpenVPN on TCP 443 and Syncthing on TCP 993.

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    Well, connection established means that someone managed to exploit OpenVPN or cracked a VPN Users password. Both very unlikely?

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    I understand, I agree.. but there aren't any other solutions? Additionally, whats the impact of getting bombarded by a port scanner? Security wise it should not matter?

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    The hotel I have been was really strict. I couldn't even use DNSCrypt (which I don't know how it was blocked since that also uses the standard ports?).

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    I use the AiProtection features if that is what you are referring to for port 443? Or is that something else? I guess I would also need to switch to TCP instead of UDP for the OpenVPN server protocol? Are there any other ports like 53/443 that I could use? Actually in my coporate network the...

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    Is it okay (in terms of security and unexpected troubles / behaviour) to run my OpenVPN Server on port 53 or 443 to be able to access it even when being on a network (e.g. corporate) with a firewall that seems to block most other requests? For example I can browse the web but not access my VPN...

    Port forwarding for client connected to OpenVPN server

    It seems like I just can't get my laptop and smartphone to communicate through my companies local network. I am trying to sync these devices via syncthing on the local network. What I can do is to connect them to my syncthing installation on my home server. So I could sync both devices by using...

    AX86U - Wireguard vs OpenVPN - Speed and phone battery related?

    It is not an issue per se but more of a "how much more can I optimize it" since all of the devices that will use the VPN are on battery (smartphone, laptop). Thanks for you input!

    AX86U - Wireguard vs OpenVPN - Speed and phone battery related?

    Yes, as I said, my mean concern is battery life.

    AX86U - Wireguard vs OpenVPN - Speed and phone battery related?

    @DocUmibozu @Tech9 so HW acceleration stays ON when using wireguard. Good to know! But why do you think that wireguard should be used instead of OpenVPN? Wireguard might be simpler (not an argument for me since I am fine with the "difficulty" of OpenVPN) Wireguard uses ChaCha but that does not...

    AX86U - Wireguard vs OpenVPN - Speed and phone battery related?

    I am currently running a OpenVPN server on my AX86U with 500/100 mbit/s FTTH fibre. I use the OpenVPN client on my Pixel 8 Pro and today started to wonder if I could optimize the battery usage on my phone e.g. by using AES-128 instead of AES-256 or doing any other changed to the OpenVPN server...

    OpenVPN Server limit bandwith/speed

    Since we can run multiple OpenVPN server instances I wanted to create one with higher priority and one with lower priority. Basically the lower priority OpenVPN server should be limited in the maximum upload/download speed. Is that somehow possible within the OpenVPN server settings? Thanks!

    Multiple DNS servers - Requests don't split between them

    Yep I did that (well, I changed it to "no redirection on global level) and it allowed me to run namebench. It seems like the 400 requests got pretty evenly split on the added DNS servers. For now I added 4x NextDNS and 1x AdguardDNS. They all use the same filterlist. Since one free account...

    In general or just for benchmarkin with namebench?

    Multiple DNS servers - Requests don't split between them

    Hmm namebench gives me the error "Outgoing requests were intercepted!" Your router or internet service provider appears to be intercepting and redirecting all outgoing DNS requests. This means you cannot benchmark or utilitize alternate DNS servers. Please adjust your router configuration or...

    Multiple DNS servers - Requests don't split between them

    Ah okay thanks for clarifyinng. So its stubby that I need to look at. For evidence I just check the logs on the webinterfaces of e.g. NextDNS (by using two different NextDNS accounts and NextDNS servers). Then filter for e.g. "the last 24 hours" and I see basically exactly the same log which...

    Multiple DNS servers - Requests don't split between them

    Since your setup works exactly how I would like it to work: Which firmware and stubby version are you using?
