    OpenVPN client not resolving server local DNS names

    I came back to this as I had some to open this issue again (was working on something else in this realm. When I changed from VPN Director to All, you're correct in that things did work. So something with how VPN DIrector is set up You asked for the VPN Director rules INTERFACE: OpenVPN1...

    Can't ping or RDP locally but CAN from OpenVPN

    Looks like I might be gradually drifting towards needing a reset. This seems like it's going to suck. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/2-4ghz-devices-cant-talk-to-each-other-ap-isolation-appears-stuck-on-how-to-disable-via-ssh.41163/

    Can't ping or RDP locally but CAN from OpenVPN

    That post is deprecated. I was changing too many things at once and eventually realized that the relevant adjustments were me messing with AP isolation and not with firewall. Sorry. I changed the previous post.

    Can't ping or RDP locally but CAN from OpenVPN

    Problem is resolved. Something router-related. AP Isolation toggle on the 5GHz radio didn't seem to work no matter whether it was toggled on or off. Disabled 5Ghz and things seem to work now.

    Can't ping or RDP locally but CAN from OpenVPN

    Note I had this working before but inexplicable this stopped working. I'm blaming Windows 10 update. Anyways, I have a router with 7 devices in it's LAN. One is a windows 7 file server. The rest are all windows 10. SETTINGS The router (ASUS, running Merlin) is running an OpenVPN server for me...

    OpenVPN client not resolving server local DNS names

    For fun I changed the DNS servers on the home router to 192.168.1.1 (and the secondary to 1.1.1.1). With that, C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup officeserver.officedomain Server: officerouter.officedomain Address: 192.168.1.1 Name: officeserver.officedomain Address: 192.168.1.100 However...

    OpenVPN client not resolving server local DNS names

    Scenario: have openvpn server running on merlin router at office. File server is behind the router. I am able to log in to the server from a windows 10 client through OpenVPN GUI. The client can reach the file server by using the office LAN's local DNS Name (fileserver.office). I then set up a...

    What's the purpose of this network layout?

    After some mulling I'm leaning more towards VPN for remote administrative purposes, or a switch from ADSL/VDSL to cable modem and this being a vestige of that move. I think WiFi is a reasonable thought, except I would've thought that the person would've set up the Asus as a wireless AP, while...

    My wife used to be a partner in a small business that the owner has sold off. Wife is going to inherit the equipment and set up shop elsewhere. I'm helping her set up the computer end of things. In some ways, I have no business doing this as I have no IT training. On the other hand, she uses a...

    How to check AC68U AiMesh node temperature (stock firmware)?

    I'll give it a go tonight when I go home. Nothing to lose. Did some searching from another angle and found this. GUI on AiMesh Node | SmallNetBuilder Forums (snbforums.com) If I can SSH into it then it's wide open to me. Thanks!

    How to check AC68U AiMesh node temperature (stock firmware)?

    Don't think I can SSH into a node? I thought a node has to be set up from default settings and by default SSH is off? Or does it "inherit" the settings of the main router such that if main router is SSH'able, node becomes SSH'able too?
