Hi there, I currently run on Merlin's 378.56_2 and would really like to switch over this fork. From what I understand I have to factory reset the router first and then flash to this fork. The question is: Should i use John's NVRAM backup/restore utility or just redo all the settings manually...

I think i am good to go, ebtables -L command now acknowledges the entries in the script. I'll try it out tomorrow at the Client's site. Thanks again bbsc! you are my hero:)

Thanks, i'm pretty green when it comes to linux or like commands. I just created the firewall-start file using VI under /jffs/scripts I need to be more attentive. I'll make it executable right away (https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/User-scripts)

It is: Bridge table: filter Bridge chain: INPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT Bridge chain: FORWARD, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT Bridge chain: OUTPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT I take it it is not working,

I am back :( Today I found out that some (not all) of the hosts on my Client site are picking up IPs from DHCP on the Server site. I have the firewall rules set on both devices: ebtables -A INPUT --in-interface tap+ --protocol ipv4 --ip-protocol udp --ip-destination-port 67:68 -j DROP ebtables...

Whoohoo, success. so far so good. Ill test it over the next couple of days. I've also started a second OpenVPN "Server2" as a TUN in order to connect to my home network from work. However, this only gives me access to the devices on the home subnet (172.16.0.2 - 126). Any way I could have access...

Thank you very much for these details. I've redone my server subnet yesterday and will be redoing client subnet today. Will report back.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! Out of curiosity, if server router DHCP assigns : 172.16.0.2 - 126 and client router DHCP assigns: 172.16.0.128 - 254 Will OpenVPN use an IP from server's DHCP pool to establish the tunnel?

One more question, For Client Address Pool, should I select a different class or subnet IP range? This gentleman here: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/openvpn-site-to-site-with-asus-merlin.11097/#post-72436 , used the same VPN CAP as his local subnet. Perhaps that's intentional? Thank you!

Hey guys, Yet again, I know this is an old thread but I have a question about Plenkske's config. He set his VPN tunnel's Client Address Pool to be on the same subnet as his own LAN : 192.168.1 Wouldn't that be interfering with his DHCP? Thanks,

Heh, It's been running fine with TUN configuration as that's what I needed at a time. Recently, with a few changes in the environment, sparked interest in TAP again. Thank you!

Hi there, You used this script on both server and client? Thanks,

Hi, I've been using TUN for some time successfully with Merlin 378.56_2 on both routers. I now find there is a definite need for TAP configuration. Question about the listed configuration : You said this code can be added to just the client. No need to have this done on the server? As per this...

Thanks for your time Martinr. You are absolutely correct: I did indeed follow a guide posted on another forum. It applied towards a slightly different router but the gist was the same. At the time I needed a quick solution and that was it because it worked flawlessly (speed mostly). I know, it...

Hi there, I have 2x RT-N66U routers setup at different cities. Both now are running 378.55. I am looking for advice to improve security & performance of my OpenVPN setup. I used an old guide a year ago (which isn't online anymore) to setup one router as OpenVPN server and the other router as...
