Hi everyone, I have been reading posts here for quite some time about setting up VPN at Asus routers. I want to set up VPN so that my friend and I can link our household network together to share the same IP address. Both of us are not that good in networking related stuff, so we figured out the easiest way is to make use of the VPN built-in Asus routers for a relatively easier setup and connection action.
I bought a TX-AX6000 (mainland China version) first and tried the VPN connection with my other friends (one with AC68U or AC86U and another with AX88U). My router works perfectly fine as VPN client (both OpenVPN and Wireguard) connecting to their respective VPN servers on routers. However, when I tried acting as the server and let them connect as clients, it didn't work. I set up DDNS because my ISP does not provide static IP. My friends tried connecting as clients with their router and their smartphones, saw something like "waiting server" or "waiting connection". We all configured the server by default setting (actually same setting, we printsreen and checked), set up and used username and pw for OpenVPN, and I'm also sure that I didn't turn on both server and client at the same time.
May I have any suggestion what might have caused this issue? My apology in advance if I am missing some essential information for the analysis.
Thank you so much.
