    Can't telnet into smtp.gmail.com

    Apparently my ISP had blocked SMTP based my router's MAC address. I configured my router to use a randomly generated MAC address, which in turn triggered my ISP to provide it with a fresh IP address. No more issues! Everything works. Needless to say, I'm both frustrated and relieved.

    Can't telnet into smtp.gmail.com

    So, I don't actually have access to the modem. I live in an apartment where a single ethernet port is provided to each resident.

    Unable to connect to SMTP servers

    Did you end up resolving this issue? I'm in a very similar situation.

    Can't telnet into smtp.gmail.com

    Logged into the router's admin console, went to WAN, clicked "MAC clone", and hit "apply". Tried to telnet and still no luck :( Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Can't telnet into smtp.gmail.com

    All devices connected to the network are experiencing the same phenomena, so I'm not sure it's an issue with client-side firewalls. To be sure, I tested telnet with the laptop's firewall disabled... no dice; however, even with the firewall enabled, connecting my laptop to my roommate's router...

    Can't telnet into smtp.gmail.com

    While trying to get my NAS to send email notifications through SMTP, I made an interesting discovery: none of my machines are able to telnet into smtp.gmail.com:587. This only occurs when they're connected to my ASUS RT-AC68U router running Merlin 380.65. If I connect, say, my laptop directly to...

    OpenVPN is using WAN IP instead of custom DDNS hostname for client.ovpn

    I registered a custom hostname with DuckDNS and configured my router (fw 380.64_2) to keep it updated using the instructions found here https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Custom-DDNS. Everything seems to be working, and when looking at the router's log file it would appear the router...
