Yep :/ Yeah, I understood that, but given the ordering bug that exists with DNS strict mode, do I have any other way to make 10.8.0.1 be first *besides* doing what I did? (which was to remove every other DNS server, making it first as a result) It doesn't appear to be, but it is a little...

I had a hunch, so I just set both of my router's DNS servers to blank so that my /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq # cat /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq server=10.8.0.1 Now my router uses this DNS server exclusively, successfully, will still allowing my LAN to access 10.8.0.1! When the DNS server ordering bug is...

Hmmm I already have that on (you can see it on the screenshot of the OpenVPN client config page in my first post). I can access the services on the VM, but only until I set it as my router's DNS server, then I lose access, like I described in my earlier post. What could be causing that? True...

Hey again! Ah yes, I don't think I'm doing that. Actually, that would be nice to have back again. Sshing directly from my computer rather than going through the Google cloud console web UI was quite convenient. Would would I need to do to get that going? Indeed, my VM's OpenVPN config file...

Hey guys, thanks for your responses. I'm working through them, although almost all the concepts and acronyms here are flying right over my head. I'm reading up more, and I'll let you know when I have question. I was confused by this. Clearly my Router knows enough about how to route these...

I committed the cardinal sin of updating my RT-AC68U's firmware (to 386.4) without backing up the configuration. (I do have a backup, but it's a few months old, and I'd rather just roll-forward with a fix than roll-back.) I only noticed and learned about the VPN Director after seeing my...
