I am thinking about installing a switch in the attic. It gets up to 120 degrees F in there. Would an unmanaged switch be okay up there?

Does anyone know what the 'vpnlist' chain is for? (Under iptables.) Edit: It seems to be for VPN Client functionality, not VPN Server.

Thanks for the offer to diagnose, ColinTaylor. Fortunately, I was able to figure it out on my own. The issue was with my Windows PC, not any router configuration. Specifically, ALG.exe (Application Layer Gateway Service ) -- which is a part of Windows Firewall -- was intercepting traffic on...

I am getting very odd behavior on my LAN, though. If I FTP to (telnet to port 21) any IP address, it will connect, and then disconnect. This is behind a DD-WRT router, though, so not relevant here.

I found some info after searching "how to find which machine is broadcasting". I was testing the router on my private LAN before putting it in production, so that's why I was getting this "issue". If I connect it straight to the outside world, the Gibson test shows everything is A-okay. I...

I have no idea what any of that means, but I will read about those terms. I just want to block port 21, that's all. Edit: You are most correct, I can FTP to any IP address and it will connect. I don't understand how or why this is happening. Google isn't helping so far. If anyone could...

I port scanned my router from the WAN side and can see port 21 is accepting connections. When I connect with FTP, I don't get a prompt for username/password and the connection just times out after a while, so that's good. However, I would like for the router to never accept connections on port...

Thanks for the replies! mattiL, only one of my routers runs Merlin, so I updated that and put that as my VPN server for now. I'll have to spend more time figuring out how to do this on my other Padavan routers. sfx2000, that example is for something else than what I'm trying to accomplish. I...

My firmware can only run a single OpenVPN server, and it's under the "VPN Server" section. There's no Advanced Settings under there, either. What router/firmware are you running?

I need to restrict which IP addresses can connect to my OpenVPN server. If I can do a reverse lookup on the IP and restrict by hostname, that's even better. I'm looking for something like this example from RMerlin, but for an OpenVPN server running on the router, not for port forwarding. I'm...

About the "Comcast fix", is there a way to check if my Comcast setup is affected by the issue? Also, does this firmware auto-detect for the issue and set DSCP_fix_enable automatically or is DSCP_fix_enable set by default? I also remember reading on one of these pages that some features were...

Apologies, I was actually looking at the Padavan firmware, not Merlin. I will ask there.

Is this possible? I can do it from the WAN side, but can't figure out how to do it from the LAN side.

To make sure I'm understanding this correctly, this fork doesn't offer new features/functionality over what is found in asuswrt-merlin. Rather, this fork is intended to fix bugs and keep up-to-date the older 374 code base for those feel later code bases negatively affected performance. Is that...

TheStork's example above (which is also found in the Wiki) adds that rule as rule number 3 in the VSERVER chain. If I follow the second example here for using a rule like this with a dynamic DNS host, it will flush the complete VSERVER chain when updating the rule. Is there a way to work...
