    Logging inbound connections on Edgerouter X

    I have configured my Edgerouter X using the default setup wizard, so there is a rule in place to drop inbound traffic. I would like to log any inbound connection attempts.

    Asus RT-AC86U vlans plus Unifi UAP-AC-Pro networks

    So this raises another question I have been curious about. When you say that the Asus RT-AC86U does not "natively" support VLANS, what precisely does that mean? I understand that it does not offer a GUI interface to create VLANS, but it _may_ offer VLAN functionality through command-line...

    Resolving local hostnames from OpenVPN clients

    (moved here from "Asus Routers & Adapters" forum) I have an ASUS RT-AC86U router, running Merlin 386.1_2. I have enabled the VPN on my router, and I have successfully connected over the WAN from several OpenVPN clients (Android phone, Windows laptop). My clients are able to connect to my LAN...

Alternatively, is there an alternative to Entware that would offer a newer Perl build? Regarding the TLA, I should have just stuck...

    RT-AC86U running backups to iDrive

    Good morning, I am using iDrive for remote backups, and I would like to offload the backup process from my desktop system. I have a local SAN device (DLink DNS-325) for my primary backup, and my theory is that I could install an EXT2-formatted USB drive on the router, install Entware, and run...
