I’ve just done a factory reset of my AC68U, and set it to use a native IPv6 WAN connection, and stateful LAN. However my device...

    Clients cannot access LAN via VPN service

    I'm currently on Voxel's 1.0.2.68SF firmware version. In the VPN Service settings, both TUN and TAP ports are on UDP 12973 and 12974 respectively.

    howto route VPN IPSEC clients to local LAN for SMB access

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can show me how to route an IPSEC subnet back to my main LAN subnet so that I can access the SMB server when offsite. I found an Asus FAQ with an image that is exactly what I'm after, but it's for BRT routers and not RT-AC5300 series, and so the GUI options shown...
