Guest network access to virtual interface?

[ScottB]

Hi,

I am running Pixelserv-tls for ad-blocking and followed this guide for how best to set it up on Merlin (which creates a virtual interface on br0):

https://github.com/kvic-z/pixelserv-tls/wiki/How-to-best-run-pixelserv-tls-on-Asuswrt-Merlin

It works great on my normal network. However, on my guest WiFi, I can not access 192.168.2.3, even though my device on the guest WiFi is assigned a 192.168.2.X address. The connection just hangs forever. This renders my guest WiFi essentially useless as any web page with an ad never finishes loading and rendering.

Does anyone know how to fix it? Is this something in iptables?

Environment - Asus AC68U running Merlin 380.63_2 (old but has been completely stable for me).

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

It may be stable but it is without doubt a security risk. Guest wifi has a setting to allow access to lan but I don't have your problem as I use AB-Solution and a guest network that enjoys no adds.
