    Security of reverse proxy (vs other options)?

    I have several LAN devices that I want access to from LAN and WAN. I am running a NAS that supports reverse proxy and am considering using it to allow human-readable naming (and access) to the LAN endpoints. I've researched but unsurprisingly there does not seem to be consensus about security of...

    RT-AC88U where to install replacements for expired intermediate/root certificates - using command line

    A separate post revealed (thanks to RMerlin for the response) that certificates can be manually (e.g. ssh command line) installed in /jffs/.cert directory. I now have a functioning web interface. However, it is still not trusted, since the root and intermediate certificates are expired. I've...

    RT-AC88U how to repair bad certs preventing web server from running - using command line

    I posted separately about not being able to access the router web interface after I had updated the certificates. Further research provided some clues. It looks like the certificates are bad, and the server daemon tries to start periodically but crashes due to the bad certs. Seems like the next...

    AC88U operable but web interface no longer accessible

    I was updating my cert (Let's Encrypt - need to do it manually since my ISP blocks port 80) and after reboot, I could no longer access the web interface. The router is working, but I can't access any settings. Any idea what this might be? I can ssh in if that will help.

    ASUS router providing dns resolution on LAN?

    I am having a problem with resolving my domain name when on my LAN. This is a problem when a server on my LAN forwards to another service on that same LAN, using the domain name. It's also an issue when accessing a service using https - if the LAN IP address is used, the cert (domain name) is...

    Solved How to configure DNS when behind ISP's DMZ [1:1 NAT]? RT-AC88U

    I've recently switched ISPs. Previously Comcast provided a dynamic public IP address (which actually never changed in over 5 years). I configured it to use dns-o-matic to update a dns service and port forwarding for a few ports to access services on devices on my LAN. This setup worked fine for...

    Configuration to access CenturyLink C3000Z DSL modem (bridge mode) GUI from LAN w/ ASUS RT-AC88U

    I have a Zyxel C3000Z DSL modem/router from CenturyLink. I have, and prefer, my ASUS RT-AC88U router - so I've disabled the router in the modem by putting it into transparent bridge mode. Everything works well, except I cannot access the modem GUI from my LAN. I've seen several posts on how to...

    ASUS RT-AC88U suddenly dropping remote access

    I have an ASUS RT-AC88U that has been in service for a couple of years, providing good functionality. It is running the OEM firmware, and is updated to 3.0.0.4.384_45149. Without any change that I'm aware of, it has suddenly started to disconnect from the WAN. Initially I thought it was an...

    FTP (and SAMBA) security settings

    I just upgraded from 66U to 88U. While setting up (current f/w:3.0.0.4.384_20308 ) I poked into lots of new areas. I ran the AiProtection security scan. I was astonished when it reported that I had anonymous FTP enabled and guest SAMBA access enabled. When I investigated, looking at USB...

    Updated to latest (380_3264) but still can't enable SSH

    I've been trying to enable SSH using OEM firmware. Learned it was in a newer release. Bit the bullet and updated to 380_3264. Release notes for previous (beta) release indicate "change to SSH and Telnet default access". I thought that was it. I have seen screenshots for the RT-AC66U with an...

    saving config when moving from OEM to Merlin

    I'm considering an upgrade to Merlin. 1) If I save my current configuration for the current OEM AsusWRT and then upgrade to the Merlin version, will I be able to upload the saved configuration to get back to my current settings? 2) Does Merlin version also notify when new versions are...

    [RT-N66U] Upgrading to Asuswrt-Merlin from OEM firmware

    If I upgrade from (current) OEM firmware to the Merlin firmware, will I be able to restore settings that I've saved or is it a complete restart from scratch? If the latter, are there any suggestions on how to make the process less painful?

    [RT-N66U] using openVPN in blocked network : or, how to use startup scripts w/ OEM firmware?

    I recently became unable to use my openVPN server to access my network. I'm not trying to get past any filters, just want to be able to access my network securely. I believe stateful packet inspection is the culprit. I've already tried changing the port from the standard 1194 but that didn't...

    [RT-N66U] How to setup https (w/ trusted CA certs, etc)?

    I've setup my RT-N66U as a VPN server (openVPN). I'm using stock Asus firmware. So I have figured out how to have the self-signed certs and DH keys generated and exported. With the recent change by openSSL to require longer DH keys, I've also figured out how to generate my own and import them...

    problem using Asus RT-N66U, openVPN and DNS

    I've setup my Asus RT-N66U router as an openVPN server. I'm able to connect using the Tunnelblick openVPN client for Mac. However, I can't find a way to automatically set the DNS server after establishing a VPN connection. I've read many posts but haven't found anything specific for my...

    Using Open'VPN with certs and key verification only

    Is it possible to setup OpenVPN on the Asus RT-N66U router so that it relies only on a valid certificate and keys to establish a connection? In other words, I have a laptop under my control and would like to establish a VPN connection to my LAN without prompts for username/password. I've found...

    How to setup OpenVPN so host names on LAN work?

    I've setup OpenVPN (using OEM firmware .4561) and it works with some problems. When connected using a Mac, I can't see any of the machines on the LAN to which I've established the VPN connection (through my router running the OpenVPN server). That is, when I open Finder and try to connect to a...

    OpenVPN connects - but IP address is not chnaged

    OpenVPN connects - but I can't see local network devices I've just setup OpenVPN using OEM ASUSWRT latest release (.4561). As far as I can tell, I've never successfully established a VPN connection. I'm using Tunnelblick as the OpenVPN client on Mac OS X. Tunnelblick reports that it has...

    Anyone notice DDNS update?

    I've noticed that every time I navigate to the DDNS page of the GUI, it appears that this forces the router's DDNS client to update the DDNS provider. Not a big deal, but I'd hate for my DDNS provider to ban me for too frequent/unnecessary updates (I get email saying "please save our bandwidth...
