Hi, I noticed an anomaly with using OpenVPN with Merlin and thought I'd ask here. Scenario is:
1) connect using my Android phone to the VPN server hosted on the Asus Merlin router- everything looks good and I can access internal 192.168.1.x resource
2) later on the in the evening had to issue the service restart_vpnserver1 command- service came back up and looked OK until I tried accessing internal 192.168.1.x resource. No joy accessing anything internally, iptables and ip route looks good to me.
3) reboot the router via the GUI- tried connecting back in via the OpenVPN Server and can access internal resources again.
So I guess the question is- does a manual service restart not apply some network policy that breaks accessing internal resource?
Any thoughts on this please?
Thanks in advance.
