    How to add and use more then 5 OpenVPN client`s configs?

    Yes, you are right about my connections dropping from time to time. The kill switch isn't a big deal nor is the "static" IP address. I don't use either now. I could always get a static IP address in my countries of interest. I just want to be able to switch my "presence" from Great Britain to...

    How to add and use more then 5 OpenVPN client`s configs?

    Hmm. At any given time I want a reasonably static presence in one of 2 to 5 countries. I want to be able to switch my router, easily from one country to another. A kill switch, rather than VPN IP hopping would be nice. Would VPNMON handle this?

    How to add and use more then 5 OpenVPN client`s configs?

    Excellent!! If possible, I would appreciate your pointing me to this earlier "need" discussion and the "better solutions". I keep coming back here from time to time and have not run across them before. I seem to be using the wrong search terms. Thank you.

    How to add and use more then 5 OpenVPN client`s configs?

    I am not disputing that. All I am trying to say is that some of us have the need for a few OpenVPN profiles available but not in concurrent use. If these profiles cannot be stored in NVRAM on my old router then I`ll have to live with that or find another solution. I could buy another router or...

    How to add and use more then 5 OpenVPN client`s configs?

    Looks interesting. Each of my OpenVPN clients needs to be in a specific country and I want to pick countries merely by activating or deactivating the appropriate client instance. For now I will live with the 2 and explore other options later.

    CyberGhost with AC86U Merlin

    I found that I had to remove the line ncp-disable from the openvpn.ovpn file that Cyberghost provided me. After that it worked for me. I asked Cyberghost to update its recommendations. That hasn’t happened yet. The openvpn.ovpn file provided me by Cyberghost contains: resolv-retry infinite...

    How to add and use more then 5 OpenVPN client`s configs?

    I didn’t miss it. I ignored it because my pre-existing OpenVPN configurations were not on this router. They still are on an even older router. I could still revert to 10 but I’ll probably live with it. I was basically commenting on finding more than 2 or 3 OpenVPN configurations useful. I could...

    How to add and use more then 5 OpenVPN client`s configs?

    I’m missing something. After a recent firmware update my limit is now 2. In the past I had OpenVPN configurations for 3 or 4 countries but activated only one of them at a time. I suppose I can configure them, two at a time, save the resulting firmware, configure (overwrite) the next two, save...

    Do I need to keep my pseudo-bridged Technicolor XB7 (2nd Gen) away from my RT-AX88U?

    Question: Do I need to keep my pseudo-bridged Technicolor XB7 (2nd Gen) gateway (modem/router) away from my RT-AX88U? The answer's "yes" isn't it? In @OzarkEdge 's excellent post on his AIMesh setup, @OzarkEdge reinforces the need to keep other WiFi (and other interfering) devices away from our...

    Asus new firmware doesn't allow spaces in WPA2/WPA3 passwords

    Here's something I would never use as a WPA2 key, 4F2043616E616461210A4F757220686F6D6520616E64206E6174697665206C61 but it works, and it "contains" blanks, an exclamation mark and a line feed. Just a bit of levity. Sorry!

    Asus new firmware doesn't allow spaces in WPA2/WPA3 passwords

    In switching my WPA2 keys from phrases like "1st time lucky..." containing spaces to keys like "1tl..." I was "reminded" to watch out for "l" vs "1" confusion. Even in fonts where they are different, the difference is sometimes hard to notice if they aren't close enough together. I had an "l" in...

    Asus new firmware doesn't allow spaces in WPA2/WPA3 passwords

    Thanks, @Yota for your well-reasoned reply. You said it better than I could have. And yes, @L&LD , that is the answer going forward with my Asus routers. I am not about to get Asus to change so I really don't have a choice. But I don't have to like it and I can ask why. [Aside: I have found...

    Asus new firmware doesn't allow spaces in WPA2/WPA3 passwords

    So, no one who can tell me why? Just "because"? I really would like to know.;) I haven't been able to find anything about (recent) problems with spaces but I have found things like the following from InfosecMatter from 2021-04-10 :

    Asus new firmware doesn't allow spaces in WPA2/WPA3 passwords

    What lesson? Please tell me. Blanks have certainly caused many problems in the past but we have figured (most of) those out. I'd just like to know: What is bad about blanks in WPA keys? Not in file names, not in paths but in WPA keys? Why would the standard still allow them? Are other...

    Asus new firmware doesn't allow spaces in WPA2/WPA3 passwords

    Yeah, it goes on. And on, and on, and on. Just one surprise or side effect after another. Sorry, but I did not find your response in any way helpful. Would you, please, be so kind to explain to me what's wrong with using blanks and special characters in keys instead of chastising me for doing...

    Asus new firmware doesn't allow spaces in WPA2/WPA3 passwords

    I just got caught by the the inability to use white space in WPA Pre-Shared keys. I just upgraded to Merlin 386.5 from older stock version and suddenly couldn't make changes to the Advanced Settings | | Wireless General tab because I had WPA pre-shared key with a blank and while the firmware...

    VPN client in a Guest network

    No, I haven't gone further. I get an error after enabling Telnet which requires a reset and re-entry of all the router settings. I was going to upgrade to 3.0.0.4.374.43_2-04j9527 from 3.0.0.4.374.38_2 and try again but I haven't done so.

    Settings have been updated... Locked out...

    I get this error after enabling Telnet I too have received the error, in my case after trying to enable Telnet access on my RT-AC66U running 3.0.0.4.374.38_2. Intenet traffic through the router continued without problem. I just couldn't log in to the router, from any one of several browsers...

    VPN client in a Guest network

    Or, in other words, can I apply a VPN Client profile to a single Guest SSID or must the profile be used (or not used) by all traffic through the router, for all SSIDs associated with it? I.e., as per the article How to setup SSID for VPN and SSID for Regular ISP using OpenVPN on github, I want...
