    VPN for a Cruise Ship

    Plus you would only need a tunnel to home, if you want to access something on your home network? I have a home server set up, so I can access my NAS securely whilst away. And like RMerlin says, just connect each device to their own SurfShark connection. Use that for surfing etc and the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    Dirty updated my AX86U to 388.2_2 from 388.2. Only issue remains the slow recovery of the 5Ghz WiFi channel after any re-boot of the router. Have the same issue on my AX88U too, otherwise all good on both routers! Cheers @RMerlin

    Asus RT-AX88U w/ Nord VPN - When setting a particular device to bypass the VPN, all device are no longer routed through VPN

    I only ever access my router via the LAN or via my home OpenVPN Server. The reason for me trying to have a formal access page, via (myhostname.myddnsprovider.com), was to finally have the HTTPS accepted, without it always warning me it's "unsafe". I know the warning doesn't matter, as I am only...

    Asus RT-AX88U w/ Nord VPN - When setting a particular device to bypass the VPN, all device are no longer routed through VPN

    That would explain it then, I was trying to access via "https://router.asus.com:*****/Main_Login.asp" I shall try just with the IP :) I was looking at trying to get access via the actual DDNS page on another thread prior to playing around with the VPN Director. Would the below work with this...

    Asus RT-AX88U w/ Nord VPN - When setting a particular device to bypass the VPN, all device are no longer routed through VPN

    Yes, last time I tried to use the VPN Director, I was unable to access the router via wireless or ethernet and had to reset it... Internet was working fine though and firestick appeared to be off of VPN, which suggested it was working... I just couldn't access the router anymore :( I think that...

    Asus RT-AX88U w/ Nord VPN - When setting a particular device to bypass the VPN, all device are no longer routed through VPN

    Thanks for confirming! I'll give the VPN Director another go tonight, with the settings above! Fingers crossed it doesn't lock me out again...

    Asus RT-AX88U w/ Nord VPN - When setting a particular device to bypass the VPN, all device are no longer routed through VPN

    Hi @eibgrad I've now moved onto the latest Merlin Firmware, 386.7_2. Assuming everything is how it should be and the other problems we were discussing have gone away, the following should work correctly right? Just to take the firestick off the VPN client, but everything else goes through the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    Famous last words, i've lost my 5Ghz wireless, though waiting to see if this is me tinkering with the channels or if it's because of the update? I've rebooted twice, but so far it hasn't returned... Watch this space EDIT - It's now working and is the fastest i've ever had! I switched on 160 Mhz...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    Dirty upgrade of AX86U on 386.7_1-gd1340bd88e to 386.7_2. 12 hours up time and all ok so far! ;) Could have done without an ISP outage, just after updating and rebooting the router... I could see the wife circling with a look of, what have tinkered with now...

    How to Setup DDNS with Freedns.afraid.org

    It ran for another day and then cut out again. Upon further investigation I think it is firmware related. I've upgraded to 386.7.1 and it appears more stable so far. Will leave it a few days to ensure it remains stable and then try and finally get this DDNS local access sorted!

    Asus RT-AX88U w/ Nord VPN - When setting a particular device to bypass the VPN, all device are no longer routed through VPN

    Apologies for the delay in getting the info, wifey stopped me "tinkering" So, here goes; https://pastebin.com/yFQPVHY3 This is of course without the VPN Director being on. And I also managed to check the DNS using your clever tool, hopefully i've done both of these things right? Cheers

    How to Setup DDNS with Freedns.afraid.org

    @learning_curve an interesting moment this morning, I had my first VPN "killswitch" event. Loosing internet access, lost me access to the router, even though I was hard wired into it. I can only assume this was as a result of the DDNS being set up the way it is, as usually even without internet...

    Asus RT-AX88U w/ Nord VPN - When setting a particular device to bypass the VPN, all device are no longer routed through VPN

    Yes, the router would have the VPN as the default gateway for all clients. The home server is currently set up for internet access too. The main reason being that I would be in a different country and this allows me to trick my ISP TV to think it is still at home, so I can watch all the sports...
