It wasn't. That fixed it! Thank you :)

For some reason, I can no longer connect to my VPN service on 384.19 (RT-AC86U). I receive under service status "Error - check configuration!" within the VPN Client Tab. Sys Log says: Sep 29 12:13:04 ovpn-client1[15579]: Options error: You must define CA file (--ca) or CA path (--capath) Sep 29...

Cheeky bump :)

Quick question - I'm running a Synology DS218+ NAS with an Emby server, which is sat behind a VPN on my ASUS RT-AC86U (Asuswrt-Merlin F/W 384.9). While it works really well, for some reason it's preventing unfiltered access to the internet for the Emby server. For example, if I add a movie...

So am I right in saying that, basically I have it set up correctly? :) The reason I'm splitting it is because Netflix wouldn't work on my NVIDIA Shield (or other smart TVs). By doing the above they work fine! I guess I'm just being paranoid about whether the rest of the network is making use of...

IPv6 is disabled, and I'm using the Exclusive DNS mode. My WAN DNS set to Auto. I am doing this in the VPN settings however. I think this is right, but it's set up to put the entire network into the VPN, other than 3 devices which I want through the ISP directly. Is this what you mean by split...

Does that mean the two lines of 'dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8' (which I've directed at the VPN DNS) aren't actually doing anything? If so, is it better to just use the VPN DNS in the WAN page and have devices connected to my ISP going through the VPN DNS? Sorry - bit confused here!

Thanks Merlin & Skeal for your help. Although I've done everything above, when I do the DNS leak test, it reports the DNS the same address as the IP (ie not the two I specified in the custom config box). I can see that it's not the ISP DNS however and the internet seems to work, so is that how...

Thanks Merlin. I've factory reset anyway (as painful as it was!) Seems to have fixed a couple of bugs I had in the VPN settings area.

Oh no - it took me ages to upload little images for all my devices and give them all proper names. D'0h! Okay I'll do it and report back, thanks :D Was what I showed in the screenshot correct by the way?

Great, I think I've done it correctly? Obviously I've entered the correct details instead of 8.8.8.8! :) Although I've done this now, ipleak.net still just shows the VPN IP address, rather than the VPN DNS number I was expecting (the one I've entered into custom configuration). On a side note...

Okay, I can do that - but last question. What do you mean by use this in the client? Sorry - being a bit stupid here, but I don't know where to stick those two lines (I have two servers to use).

Sorry, you've lost me on the last bit. One or the other? And do you mean I need to put those lines of code into the Custom Configuration area of the VPN Client page?

Ah okay, so essentially I'm reverting the WAN DNS back to auto? That's straightforward enough! How does the router know how to acquire the VPNs DNS? The guide on the VPNs website tells me that I need to enter it manually into the router? On my PC for example, this is going via the VPN in the...

Hi all, I'm currently using an Asus RT-AC86U router with Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 (which is great by the way). I have a VPN configured, using internet traffic redirection (Policy Rules Strict) with all devices using the VPN bar two. My question is over the DNS behaviour. Under my WAN settings, I...
