    TV with OpenVPN client

    Not that I'm aware of. But I wouldn't expect them to either. The most obvious (and probably the most common) solution is to use a primary router capable of supporting the OpenVPN client and policy based routing (e.g., Merlin, DD-WRT, Tomato). Policy based routing allows you to be *selective*...

    Options when behind cgnat

    Doesn't matter if you have CGNAT *unless* your concern is for remote access. Is that the case?

    VPN keeps going down Public Address:Unknown on client status panel

    We need more information regarding why these connections are failing. I do know from personal experience that some of the "budget" VPN providers (FastestVPN, KeepSolid, etc.) are known to purposely kill running connections from time to time w/ an AUTH_FAILED message in the syslog. AFAICT, this...

    WOL(WakeOnLan) when local network traffic detected

    In a LAN to LAN situation, the client and server(s) are bridged, NOT routed, so there's nothing on the router to trigger the WOL scripts. These devices simply talk directly to one another via the switch. One solution would be to *make* it a routed situation by placing the server(s) behind the...

    Questions about bypassing VPN

    If it's working, the ipset hash table should show entries. You can dump it w/ the following command from ssh. ipset -L ovpnc_resolved_domains

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

    As other have suggested, given ASUS does NOT natively support user-defined VLANs, VAPs, bridges, etc., doesn't make sense to me to FORCE it just to preserve the use of the ASUS firmware. This is why I do NOT use Merlin for my own primary router (RT-AC68U), but rather FT (FreshTomato), which...

    Questions about bypassing VPN

    P.S. @Ranger802004 also has his own ipset script as well. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/domain-based-vpn-routing-script.79264/

    Questions about bypassing VPN

    You wouldn't typically use my script *with* x3mRouting. Instead, my script is a functional replacement, at least as far as support for ipset. My script is much simpler and narrower in scope than x3mRouting.

    Questions about bypassing VPN

    I don't know anything about using x3mRouting specifically, other than it exists and has been used by other members. Just beware, it's author has NOT been seen on these forums for over a year, and is NOT even listed as a user on the forum anymore. Why that it is, I'm not sure. But for all...

    Questions about bypassing VPN

    I assume you're using the VPN Director. IIRC, the router handles ALL routes and will strip out any bound specifically to the WAN. In order to do what you want, you either need to configure these destination IPs using the VPN Director, or a utility like x3mRouting which uses ipset to...

    DDNS Service -- Which is best?

    FWIW, I use dnsomatic, which is an aggregator. You configure it w/ one or more DDNS providers, and it in turn updates those DDNS providers when the WAN ip changes. You then configure the router w/ dnsomatic. This simplifies the process by having dnsomatic manage any configuration differences...

    RT-AC86U - can I upload the router settings via command line, from a USB drive?

    Tech reviewers are typically NOT evaluating products over the long run in terms of stability and reliability. That's beyond what's practical for them. They're just looking at features and comparing bullet points, w/ some unit testing to verify these features work as advertised and to determine...

    DDNS Service -- Which is best?

    You can always connect to services offered by your router over the WAN provided you know the WAN ip. Since most ISPs do NOT provide a static IP, but a dynamic IP, that becomes problematic since if that changes, you have no means to know it changed. Not unless you're using the DDNS feature of...

    DDNS Service -- Which is best?

    All DDNS does is allow you to associate your WAN's public IP w/ a fixed domain name. That's important for home users who typically require use of a dynamically assigned public IP from their ISP, since it could change over time. But you could just as well use the explicit public IP, provided...

    RT-AC86U - can I upload the router settings via command line, from a USB drive?

    Personally I don't own one, but I do know this model is notorious for its poor thermal design. I suppose it's possible some later releases may have addressed it, but in general, I would still avoid it. Heck, just consider what was posted today...
