Something strange is happening on my RT-AC86U with Merlin 384.19.
I set up a VPN client and created a couple of rules to transmit all traffic from 2 devices through a VPN.
The configuration worked perfectly for a year, until now. Both clients can't connect to the nework.
The weird thing is that I tried to switch off the VPN and it does not disconnect.
The router pops up the "Applying settings" dialog but, after it reaches 100%, it goes back to Service State "ON".
I have also tried to reset the VPN to Default, but the VPN settings are not reset.
Another strange thing I noticed is that the Network Map tab shows the router is disconnected from the WAN, but all clients are indeed connected and can access the Internet.
How can I kill this VPN?
What I find in the log after I try to switch off and on:
