    Can I handle reverse proxy queries in the LAN?

    I've got a reverse proxy manager set up to pass incoming connections to the relevant server in my home network. So for example I can connect to my nextcloud server via the address nextcloud.example.com. Can I configure something so that queries emanating from within my home network don't need to...

    Seeking network design to add IP Cameras alongside home network

    Thank you @bbunge. Welcome news indeed - and even easier to set up than anticipated. It's a minor hassle to manually switch the IP address on a PC whenever I want to configure the cameras, but I suspect that'll be once in a blue moon once I've got everything set up. A few follow up questions...

    Seeking network design to add IP Cameras alongside home network

    How should I configure my existing hardware/software to achieve good (or at least, not terrible) security when I add some IP cameras. Current set up: * Asus RT-AC68U router running merlin: Providing the gateway to WAN and IP assignment. Only one LAN port is used, and that's connected to the...

    Dynamic DNS, Hostnames and reverse proxy muddle

    Can I refer to services on ports using a friendly name?

    Thanks for the pointers - it's certainly helping get me up to speed. I'd still be very grateful for an example though.

    Can I refer to services on ports using a friendly name?

    I'm using Merlin's firmware on my AC68U. Is it possible to somehow set it up so I can refer to services on ports via a friendly name. For example I run a logitech media server, which is currently accessed at 'myhost.internal.lan:9000'. But I would really like to set up some way of accessing it...

    DNS local name resolution when using static ips

    Great thanks! Didn't even think of reserving addresses outside the DHCP range. That seems to work a treat

    DNS local name resolution when using static ips

    I can't figure out how to resolve names of my machines with static IP addresses (i.e. set on the client with IP addresses on the same subnet as, but outside of, the DHCP). I've got a AC68U with Merlin on it. And I know that hostname resolution just works for clients that use DHCP. What's the...

    What's the best way to know when a new Asuswrt-Merlin is available?

    The sourceforge suggestion couldn't be easier. Just stuck my email address in and ticked the 'follow this project' box. Great! Thanks all (esp. Rmerlin)

    What's the best way to know when a new Asuswrt-Merlin is available?

    Is there a mailing list or something that I can subscribe to in order to get notified of when new updates are available for Asuswrt-Merlin? I'm hoping to find a way to get notified, rather than relying on intermittent checks of the website. Not just because I'm lazy, but because I want to...
