    2 site OVPN design check please.

    Thanks for the rapid and helpful reply eibgrad. To clarify, Site H is running the VPN server. Yes, agree the two sites need to have better division of the IP pools to avoid future problems (hence the orange text), though its less clear to me what role that has in today's problem, especially...

    2 site OVPN design check please.

    Hi all and thanks for lots of good reading on SNB. I have been running a 2 site home network for a few years using OpenVPN as the connection between the two sites and as a personal internet access VPN which has worked well enough for us. Changes in hardware and software have occurred from time...

    Apply Changes Problem (378.55)

    Correction and update: New tab after spinning wheel takes me back to whatever tab I was trying to change the settings on, logged in. Used gui to attempt turning on SSH, got the spinning wheel and no % count, new tab goes back to same page, but SSH setting seemed to change. Unfortunately...

    Apply Changes Problem (378.55)

    Good spot martinr and thanks for the thread pointer; my understanding of RFDS & NVRAM use is duly improved and I will go and grab a text copy of settings via SSH while I figure out how to use the NVRAM utility. To your questions of clarification: Confirmed - new tab does indeed take me to main...

    Apply Changes Problem (378.55)

    Thanks for the questions and comments. Martinr, Logging in with IP address from Windows. I routinely use Firefox as my browser. Just tried using IE with the same result. In case it helps clarify the symptom, successful changes always seem to have a countdown % as the change is applied; with the...

    Apply Changes Problem (378.55)

    I have been using the Merlin builds for a couple of years on my AC66U without any issue and making minor tweaks to the set-up from time to time; I installed build 378.55 months ago. Recently, I chose to disconnect the internet while doing some PC maintenance and had a very difficult job getting...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    Of course you are right. I realised how dumb I was being a couple of hours after writing "FAT32". Thanks to you and john9527 for helping me find what was right in front of me.

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    Yes, I thought so, but I am concerned about the errors on the backup files; is there a way to test the restore scripts ability to use them? The stick is FAT32; if it would make sense, I am OK to format to NTFS and try again.

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    Please feel free to ask any good questions - I am no more than a dabbler in any of these arts so if there is a mistake to be made its entirely reasonable to think that I may have made it :oops: Check parent directory: admin@RT-AC66U:/tmp/home/root# ls -l /tmp/mnt drwxrwxrwx 3 admin root 4096...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    Oh good and thanks for swift reply. When I first embarked on getting the utility installed earlier this week my userid on the router was not the default (admin) so I went once around the install / backup loop with that userid; I got the errors same as posted, I believe. The Quick Start guide...

    User NVRAM Save/Restore Utility (R26.2)

    Hopefully I have understood correctly and its OK to post a new question about the nvram utility here; if not, would appreciate a sign post. Thanks to the dev who came up with this nifty utility. Like other posters, I am hoping this utility will lower my barrier to staying up to date with the...

    VPN Woe

    I am enjoying my AC66U with Merlin's software (.45 build) and have had a PPTP VPN server in action for some months. My plan is to move to a more secure type of VPN before opening up my home network for remote access. Partly because I like a project, and partly to avoid loading up the '66, I...

    Lost UI

    I'm new to ASUS routers, Merlin, and new here so apologies in advance for any noobing. I can only say that I have tried to google my way out of the hole I am in but would regard factory reset and firmware restore too big a defeat to admit yet, so I will be grateful for any help. Background -...
