Curious if anybody using Merlin's build has used the router's vpn settings to connect to a vpn service, and at the same time ran a vpn server from the router to connect from lets say a wifi cafe, etc to their (your) home network?
I have been struggling, even tried abandoning that idea, and tried to run a OpenVPN server on a headless raspi, following various tutorials for a couple days, however I failed. I was hoping for a easy solution, but looks like I will have to wait until someone makes a tutorial for just that. Unless .... somebody here on smallnetbuilder has got their ac68u to perform both while also being double nat'd (using a script to retrieve ip) and can post instructions.

Had to modify my ddns script a bit however it and OpenVPN client is working great. (Merlin build 374.43_2)
