    VPN Client Rules: Why can WAN iface clients not access internet?

    Instead of creating a static/reserved IP address and VPN rule for almost every device on my network, I want all devices on my network to go through the VPN by default, and only exclude specific ones (one or two devices). I created static IPs and rules for those devices, but without the expected...

    VPN Client Rules: Why can WAN iface clients not access internet?

    Thank you for your reply. I think I have an incorrect understanding of the rules table. Done, but now with only the "Default" rule in the table, doesn't that mean all traffic will go through the VPN? I've tried adding a rule ("Passthrough") to bypass the VPN, but that's where the problem...

    VPN Client Rules: Why can WAN iface clients not access internet?

    Setup: Cable modem --> AC86U (router, WiFi off, OpenVPN Client) --> AC1900P (AP Mode) --> WiFi clients I just added an AC86U to my setup to boost OpenVPN speeds. However, my FireTV Stick (FTS) won't play Prime Videos when connected to a VPN (i.e., "You are connected to a VPN. Please...

    Clients on split tunnel have connection problems between ~6:00pm-11:30pm on Merlin 384.19 AC68U

    After resetting the router and re-entering all the necessary settings, I haven't (yet) experienced a drop. It was likely a conflict with a previous setting (perhaps the old DNS entries). Update: Going through all the settings reminded me of how awesome Asuswrt-Merlin is. I just made my second...

    Clients on split tunnel have connection problems between ~6:00pm-11:30pm on Merlin 384.19 AC68U

    I also had the problem with 384.16, so if it is a firmware bug, it is likely not a new one. If I have time over the weekend, I might just reset the router and reconfigure from scratch. Before that, I'd like to try other, less extreme possible solutions. It could be an ISP issue. I'm at a loss...

    Clients on split tunnel have connection problems between ~6:00pm-11:30pm on Merlin 384.19 AC68U

    Thank you for the suggestion. After changing the DNS back to auto, the two old DNS entries are still there. I'm not really concerned about them, unless they are related to the VPN issue.

    Clients on split tunnel have connection problems between ~6:00pm-11:30pm on Merlin 384.19 AC68U

    This problem is leaving me both intrigued and frustrated. I recently started with a new budget ISP. It seems to throttle/shape traffic during the evenings (approximately 6:00-11:30 daily). During this time, a 480p (sometimes even 360p) YouTube video buffers frequently, but with a VPN (NordVPN)...
