Google DDNS and OpenVPN

[Bohemus]

I am using the google ddns script here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Custom-DDNS which is working well. One thing I have noticed is that with the OpenVPN server running, I re-exported the ovpn profiles which are now using my google domain hostname, but the profiles are set to autologin. How can I disable this and require the ovpn profile to ask for a username and password?

Also, I have the DHCP server to use the domain home.mydomain.net, where mydomain.net is the TLD that I own. This seems to work okay, but when I use nslookup on my PC's, the nameserver shows as router.asus.com where it used to show router.home.mydomain.net also it seems to be appending home.mydomain.net to some lookups like google.com becomes google.com.home.mydomain.net even though I have checked to not forward internal domain requests upstream. What am I doing wrong here?

Figured out the openvpn issue I had. Thats all sorted. Changed the local domain name to blah.home and that seems to work better with the name resolution issues. Last thing I cant seem to fix is the nslookup when using the router dns is reporting back a hostname of router.asus.com. Shouldnt is be using the domain I specified in the settings? I expected to see router.blah.home, any place where I can change this?

The name of the router as router.asus.com is hardcoded in the firmware as the first lookup in /etc/hosts . There are also synonyms defined for your_router_name.your_domain name. If you want to change it, you can do it with a /jffs/scripts/hosts.postconf file (see the wiki).

Great! Thanks for the help!
