You might be correct. It was ./easytls init-tls that failed on Windows. However, as a practical matter it makes no real difference. I'm forced to generate needed files on Linux. I am in the middle of generation, but it looks like generating the EasyRSA/EasyTLS stuff on Linux and transferring...

I got an answer from GitHub, EasyRSA does not work on Windows! https://github.com/TinCanTech/easy-tls/issues/313

It has been a long time since I wrote this. I have moved to a new computer and am pulling my hair out. As far as I can tell the OpenVPN forum is not accepting new posts (please tell me how if you still can). I'm getting a "OPENSSL_Uplink(00007FFEF543FAC8,08): no OPENSSL_Applink" error when I...

Thanks much! Very, very appreciated!

Thanks, while you didn't answer my question about AiMesh (and your comment about mesh is dumb without saying why didn't help). It did point me in a good direction. So, again Thanks! It would appear that my latency problems lie outside my home network and whether I add a extra internal hop...

Thanks. I didn't make myself clear. I don't understand how AiMesh works. I don't know if it has any latency advantages over my current setup. Right now I have: Cable modem <---> AC68U <----> (four Deco M5s). The M5s provide the access point that I use to access wifi. I'm curious if: Cable...

I currently have an AC68U (running Merlin for OpenVPN) connected to a Deco M5 mesh network for wifi coverage. The Decos provide needed coverage for the entire house. The Deco network is configured as an access point. I have one streaming service that is sensitive to the extra latency the Deco...

NOTE: EasyRSA no longer works on windows https://github.com/TinCanTech/easy-tls/issues/313 (use Linux for EasyRSA) I replaced my router and needed to set up OpenVPN again. My old setup was quite old and I went with the latest Easy RSA 3. Hopefully the following will make it easier for others...

A bit late, but thanks! I now had to learn easy-rsa 3 :(, To save others the effort, here is the best tutorial I could find.

Apologies if this has been covered, but I can't find the answer. In 2015 I generated .crt, .key, and .ovpn files and am moving to a new router and the latest Merlin. I was using these same files successfully from a 2018 Merlin release. Is there any need to go through the generation process...

Zirescu, THANK YOU! I had exactly the same issue and found your answer. Also, it appears that you don't have to wait 12 hours, you can go to http://iplookup.asus.com/nslookup.php and enter your original/desired asuscomm.com name and see if it is still registered. If it can't be resolved that...

FWIW - Here is a good set of Cron examples: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/07/cron-every-5-minutes/ From the article: The first field is for Minutes. If you specify * in this field, it runs every minute. If you specify */5 in the 1st field, it runs every 5 minutes ...

Works!!! Thanks to Bob and NoSubstitute! First, I want to acknowledge that I was a total bonehead and missed a key point in Bob's message. He said to install a "Local" printer. I read the tcp/ip mention and my brain said "network". So I initially went down the wrong path. Thanks to...

Bob, I decided to try your suggestion, but I have a problem. The printer is connected to my router's USB port (perhaps that is the problem? I hope not, as it only has a USB connection). Anyway, I put the router's IP address in the "Hostname or IP address:" box, but I'm not sure what to put...

No I haven't tried the latest RMerlin. I'm happy with the version I have and don't want to go through the disruption of updating unless I knew the problem was solved. The utility is a separate executable on the ASUS site. I'm not familiar with how to determine the fixes in the RMerlin...
