    How to subnet with IPv6 on an RT-N66U with Merlin firmware?

    That'd be a better solution for me. Thanks. I didn't know what "bridge mode" meant until I looked it up just now.

    How to subnet with IPv6 on an RT-N66U with Merlin firmware?

    Comcast issued my household a combination cable modem and router; I would have preferred just a cable modem, and to let my RT-N66U handle all the routing, but they didn't offer an alternative device in my area. So, the cable modem/router has only the telephone and the RT-N66U attached to it...

    'Heartbleed' vulnerability and OpenSSL in Asuswrt-Merlin

    I've just been reading about the bug in OpenSSL, CVE-2014-0160, present in OpenSSL versions 1.01 - 1.01f. If I understand correctly, OpenSSL is used in OpenVPN, and I would guess it would be used in generating certificates for HTTPS access to the router administration page. I don't know what...

    IPv6 Firewall?

    Would it be difficult to use the existing IPv4 firewall settings, and simply mirror the IPv4 settings for IPv6? That wouldn't be ideal, but it would at least make some intuitive sense.

    Asuswrt-Merlin - build 3.0.0.4.266.24

    I'd be happy to see OpenVPN with IPv6 support.

    DDNS, OpenVPN, and Hurricane Electric

    It looks like I had some intermittent glitch resolving my domain name, which had notthing really to do with the firmware. It may have had to do with some tweaking I'd done with my zone file, taking time to migrate to other name servers It's weird how Asus set up the tunnelbroker.net entry, if...

    DDNS, OpenVPN, and Hurricane Electric

    Since posting the above, I found that with PPTP, using the domain name on the client fails to connect, but using the IP address succeeds in connecting. This is a change from before I installed 3.0.0.4.220.17. Also, the same pattern occurs, whether the client is already connected to the LAN...

    DDNS, OpenVPN, and Hurricane Electric

    I've been trying to get OpenVPN working, and I've run into a few issues. One is that there seems to be an interaction between DDNS and OpenVPN, and DDNS doesn't quite work for my configuration. I hope what I describe below is clear, as I'm describing an interaction between different problems...

    DNSmasq is not attaching domain name to hostnames

    I've upgraded to the current Merlin build, 3.0.0.4.220.17, and my domain name is now being correctly attached to hostnames.

    DNSmasq is not attaching domain name to hostnames

    So the problem I've described is the result of a workaround for some Windows bug? That'd explain it, and may be justifiable anyway. This is a SOHO router, and I imagine most users aren't at all concerned with FQDNs within their LAN.

    DNSmasq is not attaching domain name to hostnames

    All domain names and IP addresses are falsified to protect pre-adolescent Minecraft enthusiasts. I'm currently using the firmware 3.0.0.3.178.15 (Merlin build). I've been using manually assigned IPs via DHCP on my router for some time. Recently, I assigned a domain name to my router on the...
