RT-AC3100 VPN Samba

[quadra2030]

Hallo,

long time reader here with first post I have RT-AC3100 router with latest original Asus FW, everything works perfectly - I'm using built-in IPSec VPN (btw, strongswan ike1 with shared secret), but Asus Samba server blocks access from VPN subnet (10.0.0.x) as seen in logs, in smb.conf is only loopback (127.0.0.1) and local network (192.168.1.x) allowed, Samba works perfectly from local network (wired or wifi).

I can edit smb.conf, but after samba service restart is overwritten with default smb.conf (probably from NVRAM or some partition).. is there anything to do?

I don't know whether it's Asus bug or feature (blocking samba access from VPN).

To make persistent changes that aren't available through the GUI you'd need to install a third party firmware like Merlin's.

That's what I thought.. but thanks anyway!
