    Happens in Merlin v386.5_2: Some of the rules in VPN Director are lost after rebooting of the router, while some of the rules remain.

    Solved Mobile client > VPN Server > VPN service (internet): possible?

    Hello! So here's what I and my limited understanding of what Merlin can do is theorizing... I'd like to know first if it's even possible (mostly because I can't get it to work): I'd like to use an OpenVPN client on my mobile device to connect to the VPN Server on my Merlin-enabled router...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    I committed the cardinal sin of updating my RT-AC68U's firmware (to 386.4) without backing up the configuration. (I do have a backup, but it's a few months old, and I'd rather just roll-forward with a fix than roll-back.) I only noticed and learned about the VPN Director after seeing my...

    VPN Director for only some ports on IP?

    Is there a way to use the VPN Director interface to only route some ports on the particular LAN IP to use the VPN, and leave all others to use the WAN? Or do I need to go this route for this type of functionality? Thanks!

    I'll apologize in advance for my general router/networking ignorance and what most of you will consider to be dumb question(s). With that said, can someone tell me what policy or policies I would need to set in VPN Director to route all traffic through the VPN tunnel? I'm using NordVPN and...
