Imported file from VPN-provider often is for computers not routers, therefore it's needed some modification to work.This an imported .ovpn file direct from the provider which works on the previous merlin and after first boot on this version but subsequently not.

I have only have login on nodes working with RMerlin software.I'm trying to login to my AiMesh-node, when I login it asks for user ID and password, after entering that on the AiMesh-node's login, it instantly redirects me to my main router's network map page. Is this the intended outcome? I used to be able to login to the mesh node and see a limited GUI, now that seems impossible to achieve. Am I missing something? Is this new with this firmware?

block-outside-dns
option from your config file.--block-outside-dns
Block DNS servers on other network adapters to prevent DNS leaks. This option prevents any application from accessing TCP or UDP port 53 except one inside the tunnel. It uses Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) and works on Windows Vista or later. This option is considered unknown on non-Windows platforms and unsupported on Windows XP, resulting in fatal error. You may want to use --setenv opt or --ignore-unknown-option (not suitable for Windows XP) to ignore said error. Note that pushing unknown options from server does not trigger fatal errors.
Yeah, I've been using Asuswrt-Merlin firmware continuously on all my devices for years now, but thanks. It worked a while back but I'm not sure how long ago now.I have only have login on nodes working with RMerlin software.
No.Another curiosity is whether these newer kernels can be ported to ASUSWRT/ Merlin?
You highlighted the reason: "Internet is not redirected". Look a bit lower, and enable Internet redirection.After initial success when first installed on my AX58U connecting to my VPN provider Astrill is now having problems with OVPN.
That setting was dropped by Asus in 388. After discussion with them, we both decided that having it automatically switch to external checks when a private WAN IP was detected was more user-friendly, and prevents misconfiguration of people accidentally publishing a private IP to their DDNS.I just updated my rt-ax58U to 388.1_alpha1-g89b92e5ff6 but I encountered a problem, from the DDNS page I can't use the "Method to retrieve WAN IP", unfortunately, in spite of myself, I have to use the router provided by my ISP (Vodafone IT ) as ONT, so the good Asus is set up with a static but private wan IP address.

...The 388 merge is going better than initially expected. I hit a small road bump as the RT-AX88U I was working on died (burned voltage regular from what I can see on the pc board), but I also had 388 GPL code for the GT-AX11000 (same SDK), so I moved development to it..
He has had the unit replaced.Is that mean no more support for ax88u or you will get new one ?
So in your case, you'd have to chose between 220 Mbps OpenVPN and 1 Gbps non-VPN throughput, or 300 Mbps Wireguard and 350 Mbps non-VPN throughput.
I also use external option for ddns.. So now this isn't an option on the new firmwares. I also as the other person have my router behind a gateway that doesn't allow bridge mode. I think that should still be a users choice since the default was internal.No.

Are you sure you are referring to a Broadcom-based model? AFAIK, the newest BCM kernel DD-WRT has is one of the early 3.x versions, as that was the last time brainslayer had access to the BCM SDK. If it's not a Broadcom model, then this isn't using CTF but something else.
Subscribing to static IP may be your only solution then. I did for years. You could also try the IPTV settings to accomplish your need for a public IP. This requires your ISP's basic VLAN information, they use for their internet network. I used IPTV settings for a few years but it has a few problems and isn't fully supported by @RMerlinI also use external option for ddns.. So now this isn't an option on the new firmwares.

The thing is using the option external works fine for me !.. SO why aren't we having that choice anymore? Or will it still do the external check and it just doesn't have the option anymore. I have a double nat situation.Subscribing to static IP may be your only solution then. I did for years. You could also try the IPTV settings to accomplish your need for a public IP.

I think that what RMerlin was saying is that it now always behaves like the old "external" option (bugs not withstanding). There is really no point having the internal option as external works for both scenarios.The thing is using the option external works fine for me !.. SO why aren't we having that choice anymore?

What DDNS provider are you using?Hi @RMerlin,
thanks for the feedback, clear choice, but I think there is a problem and the automatic external check does not work:
The default is no longer fixed to internal, the check will be dynamically based on whether your WAN IP is a public (internal) or private (external).I think that should still be a users choice since the default was internal.
Thanks. Didn't read all 19 pagesHe has had the unit replaced.
