I've got an Asus RT-AC66U with a Synology DS413 NAS that I'm working on connecting and accessing from the Internet. What I've managed to do so far is setup port forwarding but now I'm getting log on attempts from the Pacific region and couple of places in the USA (about a dozen the last day). What I'd like to do is block ranges of ip addresses from connecting or attempting to connect (ie prevent 118.*.*.* from connecting). How do this? Do I use the Network Services Filter with the firewall?

Edit - If it helps any, I'm running Merlin build 3.0.0.4.374.34_2

The easiest and most efficient way to block a range of IP's is to use IPSet. I know for a fact that on my N56U I can block up to 1,000,000 IP's without any performance degradation on my 115/5 connection.

Here's the script I made for my setup which automatically blocks all IPs from the SPI firewall along with any countries or addresses I choose. It will need some modifying to work with AC6*U routers as there are some slight differences, but its a good start for anyone who knows their way around unix.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about unix. I do have a willingness to learn and tinker with new things that catch my interest. :D
 
Facing the same problem with the VPN Server that I enabled on my Asus RT-N66U.

This particular IP 183.60.48.26 from China keeps trying to login to my VPN server every morning (without fail) at around 7:30 am as well as this IP 93.120.84.31 from Romania who tried to hack into my VPN server on several occasions (to no avail ... so far).

Both have not been able to gain access (yet) but I really hope I can block them off permanently before something dreadful happens.

As far as I know, the Asus firmware (stock and Merlin's) is unable to do that. Tried messing with the 'Firewall - Network Filter' to no avail. :(
 
Can manually be done with my FW by adding a DROP rule to the INPUT chain. Use the firewall-start script for this.
 
I'm new at this Merlin, do you have any links showing me how this is best done or a download link for the script with an explanation? I'm still at The first stage of learning, where I need to figure out exactly what I want to access over the Internet. I've figured out the how and this ip bump in the road is just throwing a kink into things. Ultimately I hope I'm taking the correct approach to tackling this issue. :p

If you want ill edit my script posted above to do the work for you, please post the output of the following command in SSH as I don't have AC**U router yet to test on.

iptables -L -v -n
 
Thanks for the info, Merlin and Adamm.

Learning curve seems really steep on doing up scripts (for my case, don't even know how to begin :eek:).

Hacking is pretty common nowadays. If external IP blocking can be incorporated into the GUI that would have been perfect :p

I will add compatibility for all the asus routers with my script so you can easily ban IP ranges and whatnot I just need the output of the following commands in ssh for anyone who has a N66U AC66U AC56U AC68U. Please also turn the routers SPI Firewall feature on in the admin GUI and "Logged Packets Type" to "Dropped"

iptables -L -v -n

cat /tmp/ipt_filter.rules

nvram get productid

Thank you. Give me some time to extract the info as I've got to figure out how to work with SSH using the PuTTY client :eek:
 
I've disabled SSH port forwarding for the time being until I get some time to run that script Adamm. Let's see if I'm smart enough to figure out how to run it :D
 
Ok, figured out how to do what you asked, used PuTTy to do it, then figured out I already had the ability to do it built in (ala Run Cmd tab), lol.

I take it that to run your script from earlier and to get cat /tmp/ipt_filter.rules I have to enable JFFS? :confused:
Mind you, I don't know Linux commands, yet, and my kids call me old at 39, so...

I take it that to run your script from earlier and to get cat /tmp/ipt_filter.rules I have to enable JFFS? :confused:
Mind you, I don't know Linux commands, yet, and my kids call me old at 39, so...
Click to expand...


Please, enable JFFS form WEB UI, put the content from the link below to /jffs/scripts/firewall-start file.

After doing so type "chmod +x /jffs/scripts/firewall-start" in SSH.

The script is then easy to use, it will need to be run after every reboot though, I would help you with that but I'm not familiar with how to automaticly on this router but I'm sure someone else can help with that.

After boot run "sh /jffs/scripts/firewall-start" which sets it up. The same command along with the following words will do as listed.

"unban" # <-- Remove Single IP From Blacklist
"unbanall" # <-- Unbans All IPs In Blacklist
"removeall" # <-- Remove All Entries From Blacklist
"save" # <-- Save Blacklists to /jffs/scripts/ipset.txt
"ban" # <-- Adds Entry To Blacklist
"country" # <-- Adds entire country to blacklist
"bancountry" # <-- Bans specified countries in this file
"hideme" # <-- Switch to unrestricted DNS (proxydns.co)
"backup" # <-- Backup IPSet Rules to /jffs/scripts/ipset2.txt

My apologies for not getting back sooner, I've been preoccupied with working mixed 8-12 hour days, 6 days a week for the last 3 weeks.

I've copied the coding and will put it to use, in the meantime I've got to teach myself something new, UNIX command line (aka #bash) and how to access the JFFS on my router. Seriously, thanks again I sincerely appreciate the help. :)
 
OK, I'm figuring this #BASH thing out some, and still working on figuring out how to create and save scripts.

I've done some looking around in the directories and found that I do have a /tmp/filter_rules. Is it safe to assume that this is what you wanted when you asked for cat /tmp/ipt_filter.rules earlier Adamm? If so, the results are below along with the same for IPV6.

Awesome, the script/instructions above should work by the looks of it, let me know if you run into any errors.
 
I get an error when i run this script. I have a RT-AC66U, enabled jffs, created /jffs/scripts/firewall-start file, chmod +x /jffs/scripts/firewall-start. All i am trying to do is to ban ips from cn pk ur af. I am running FW 3.0.0.4.374.35.4. Here is the output when running the script:

It seems the script is failing when it tries to load the ipset kernel modules. Please give me the output of the following commands in SSH

Code: 
IPSET_PATH=/lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter
insmod -f $IPSET_PATH/ip_set.ko
insmod -f $IPSET_PATH/ip_set_nethash.ko
insmod -f $IPSET_PATH/ip_set_iphash.ko
insmod -f $IPSET_PATH/ipt_set.ko
 
Where is VPN log?

I have the AC56U...on stock FW 3.0.0.4.374.501

I was wondering where VPN log is...so that I can check to see if anyone is trying to use it(openVPN)...

I see something buried in the general log, but is there any special page that specifically shows login attempts?

I had my FTP server brute forced a while back ago....and had to disable it...want to make sure I am not being attacked....

Can i just disable the Open VPN in the web ui....and then turn it on when i need it...without having to change the open vpn config o the clients all the time?

OpenVPN logging goes all to the System log.

If you use signed keys instead of password-based authentication, it will be nearly impossible for anyone to bruteforce their way through it, so there won't be any need to worry.
