    RT-AC86U with VLAN tagged WAN port

    Thank you for this thread, this helped me work out my direct connection of the Asus RT-AC86U to a fiber modem. Before that I had my Asus router connected to the ISP router, which worked but I could not set up a VPN Server on the Asus router for example. I will add the steps I succesfully...

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    It executed without echo. Still nowhere ext_port_forward.html to be found. Any other things I can try or should I switch to another solution? I am also opening a ticket at PIA support. If that proves useful I will post it here.

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    Done the "/" but I was aware of the "." restrictions ;-) File not found. Sorry to disappoint. I use SHA256, maybe that has an influence? I also tried the "services-start" script in SSH command " /jffs/scripts/merlin-pia-port-forward.sh --ip 192.168.68.1 --port 80 --debug " And I get echo...

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    OK, I understand it better now and I see I approached it in the wrong way. Especially your info on the port (and its publishing on "ext_port_forward.html" made me realize my errors. Unfortunately it still doesn't work... To be absolutely sure your "services-start" works, I made it executable...

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    So I changed the code to "tmp/vpnclient.pid" and everything works... I guess... as I realize that I do not know how to check this next or even use it. I have found a helping hand on "https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/" and it states that my port 80 IS OPEN ! Maybe it doesn't work as...

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    Indeed, it is the /run directory that doesn't seem to exist. I do let it start up automatically at boot time and I do not want this to change (too convenient :-). So I will adapt the script and put it under /tmp and try further. I use the latest firmware for the RT-AC86U : 384.12 release. It...

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    Clear explanation, thanks. Unfortunately I cannot get further then step 3 in your installation. The "writepid /tmp/var/run/vpnclient.pid" stops my VPN client due to a simple error (from logs): "No such file or directory". I tried to create the file, but I cannot even access the directory (or...

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    Thank you for your reply, but I will first try the route proposed by eibgrab in order to preserve VPN connectivity on all my LAN.

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    I respect your efforts that went into your coding. I will try it and give feedback. From your feedback I understand I need to do this on my VPN router and through SSH (but also including some kind of "activation code" in my Custom Configuration of the VPN client - as described in your code)...

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    You are absolutely right. I am being contradictory. This contradiction is caused by my inexperience in this matter, my apologies. I am learning bit by bit what network management means, triggered by increased awareness about privacy on the internet and the role of the ISP and other parties. So...

    Simultaneous VPN Server and VPN Client

    I would first like to thank eibgrad and Martineau for their helpful reflections, as they helped me a lot! Unfortunately I am still looking for the "how" on the "additional couple of manual rules". Can you help me out with some coding examples Martineau? My setup: ISP modem/router > ASUS...
