    Can't get Asus Merlin VPN to work with OpenVPN!

    It works now! I forgot to mention I use a pihole, and under LAN > DNS and WINS Server Setting I have set DNS 1 to my pihole IP address, when I removed the IP address in the setting (use DNS from my ISP), now I have to figure out how to work this with my pihole.

    Fixed: Can't change settings on Administration-System page on RT-AX88U in 384.17

    I migrated to a new router AX88U to AX88U and I'm having the same issue. Are you saying we can't use the same config file for the same model router?
