    Block sites for specific device on LAN?

    For my iPad, I was hoping that it can keep working for other stuff, just prevent it from being used for Fortnite, for certain hours of the day.

    Block sites for specific device on LAN?

    I've got a similar problem, also Fortnite. My 14 year old son is spending all his time playing Fortnite on his iPad, rather than doing schoolwork, during this coronavirus problem. I'm using Asus AC-88 router with Merlin 380.69 firmware. I was hoping to be able to use Network Services Filter to...

    Transferring files from remote drive to local one?

    If it is installed as part of Merlin firmware, then it would be, otherwise it is not. I have not added anything other than Merlin firmware.

    Transferring files from remote drive to local one?

    As per the title. My Asus router abroad has two usb drives attached containing data that I want to selectively copy to my local Asus router usb drive. I would like to do this without a pc as a middleman - except of course as a command terminal. Not being Linux skilled, could someone tell me...

    Cable Modem/Cable TV via Asus lan.....

    Bit of an update I found that one of the cable TV boxes (the one remotely installed) was not in fact registered for VOD with the cable provider. Therefore it was not logging in to their service. I moved the registered box to the remote location and connected it back to the cable modem via Asus...

    Cable Modem/Cable TV via Asus lan.....

    A little help please. In my house here in Shanghai, I have two internet services, one is FTTH other is cable. The FTTH service is connected to TP-Link modem and then to Asus AC66 router. This is the normal internet that we use daily. The cable service arrives as cable TV coax. It connects to...

    VPN to remote device?

    I don't know for sure, but I've been told that some are working fine. HMA servers are blocked at ip level, except for 3 or 4.

    VPN to remote device?

    I am using HMA for unblocking stuff that cannot be accessed from China. But last year China blocked almost all HMA servers. Only about 3 work now and none in UK. But either way, using HMA would not have solved my original question. Currently I am in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh), all HMA servers work...

    VPN to remote device?

    Thanks for comments. I got it working ok the other day and have been testing it.

    VPN to remote device?

    No, I am not using a script any more, purely GUI. I use policy based routing where I have a group of ip addresses which are pushed to vpn and the remainder go to local wan. That way, I can choose which device uses vpn and which uses local wan. (And in the case of this pc, if I use wired lan it...

    VPN to remote device?

    Thanks for your comments guys. @Wutikorn Once the tunnel is running, I have no problem to access stuff that is blocked in China (google, youtube etc), neither do I have any problem with, for example BBC iPlayer, which is geo-locked to UK ip addresses. I've been trying to get my head around why...

    VPN to remote device?

    Thanks for that yorgi. The remote router is set up in that way. Except for "assign them VPN ip addresses". I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean here. Both routers have base LAN address 192.168.1.254 and the remote devices have static addresses allocated inside that range. VPN range is...

    VPN to remote device?

    Happy New Year. Simple question (I hope). I did a search but didn't really find an answer. I am in my home in Shanghai. My other property is in UK. Here in China I have AC66 and in UK I have AC88 routers. I have vpn server set up in UK and VPN client set up in China. Works fine and after...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59 is now available

    Update on this. I guess nobody else has the same problem. On both routers I changed wan access from http only to both (http & https) Now it is possible to access admin gui using https://xx.ddns.net:8443 (the default port for https). IE reports a certificate error, but it works. It still does not...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59 is now available

    On Admin - system page Port of Web Access from WAN shows 8080 as the default. I understand from a Merlin thread somewhere that this is to prevent the device getting confused. So the answer is that is what the default shows. Edit. Not a dumb question, perfectly reasonable! For reference, the AC66...
