    RT-AC86U VLAN-like modifications to guest network

    After tcpdump, it looks like 443 was involved, but not the entire problem. Even after I allow 443 traffic through, there is still some tcp traffic going to an ephemeral port on the server that I guess isn't considered "related" or "established". What a weird thing to happen only on iPhone... and...

    RT-AC86U VLAN-like modifications to guest network

    Great point with the hygiene and the load on the router. I didn't know it worked that way, but that makes sense! That was a no go on the port 443 being the problem, unfortunately. I'll do a tcpdump at some point and report back if I figure this out!

    RT-AC86U VLAN-like modifications to guest network

    Alright, everything seems stable and the way I want it! I am using YazFi as suggested. Thanks so much for your help and patience @drinkingbird! I think the problem I was having was due to one of my guest networks being part of a subnet range that has changing VPN director rules? I also now see...

    RT-AC86U VLAN-like modifications to guest network

    Well, I installed the YazFi software and ran into many issues. The order of operations went like this: - I installed the software, enabled YazFi on my guest network. Isolation remained, but I did not have the one way communication that I set the radio button for (I had neither direction). - I...

    RT-AC86U VLAN-like modifications to guest network

    Alright, if you don't want to explain what it would take with "a lot more than a few iptables rules" to modify the stock guest network paradigm, I understand. To satisfy my curiosity, I'll attempt to pursue learning about how the router sets up its VLANs for guest networks without the help of...

    Thanks @ColinTaylor! That's super helpful!

    RT-AC86U VLAN-like modifications to guest network

    Thanks for pointing me towards that repo! That's great to hear someone has already put together a nice solution for this. Although I'm a bit daunted at the possibility that there are many like plugins/extensions out there that I also don't know about! Does Yazfi exist on some sort of "Merlin GUI...

    RT-AC86U VLAN-like modifications to guest network

    Hello all! I'm using an RT-AC86U with Merlin and I would like to have three different wireless networks (all with different SSIDs and passwords): one for trusted devices, one for guests, and one for IoT devices. On the guest and IoT networks, I want all devices to be isolated. At this point...

    Diversion Diversion problems with dnsmasq through VPN interface

    Works like a charm! Since we've started this thread, my interim solution has been to hide S56dnsmasq and to add the line: echo -e 'server=103.86.96.100@tun12\nserver=103.86.99.100@tun12' > /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq at the end of my /jffs/scrips/dnsmasq.postconf. However, your solution also works...

    Diversion Diversion problems with dnsmasq through VPN interface

    Keep in mind I've moved S56dnsmasq elsewhere so it shouldn't be called anymore (I've tucked it away in /opt/home). #!/bin/sh ENABLED=yes PROCS=dnsmasq ARGS="" PREARGS="" DESC=$PROCS PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin ...

    Diversion Diversion problems with dnsmasq through VPN interface

    Correct, I have two lines in my /opt/etc/dnsmasq.conf file: server=103.86.96.100@tun12 server=103.86.99.100@tun12 That was the only place I pointed to those servers with that interface in my previous working setup. That seemed to set up /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq just fine before, but now something...

    Diversion Diversion problems with dnsmasq through VPN interface

    Further troubleshooting: It looks like the /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq file gets messed up (set to the non-tunnel interface) when I restart my vpn, which also (I think) causes dnsmasq to reconfigure. Not knowing all of what is happening during the startups of these processes, I'm a little handicapped at...

    Diversion Diversion problems with dnsmasq through VPN interface

    Thanks for the speedy response! Unfortunately I still am not having luck with the /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add file. Here was my procedure: rm /opt/etc/init.d/S56dnsmasq touch /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add chmod +x /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add # I edited /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add to...

    Diversion Diversion problems with dnsmasq through VPN interface

    I just upgraded my Diversion version from 4.1.3 to 4.3.3 (I know, quit a leap). Doing so has broken a key part of my network setup: my dnsmasq queries need to be resolved through my vpn interface "tun12" to avoid DNS leaks on my VPN'd network. I can accomplish this via the following lines for...
