    Help with OpenVPN connections to remote LAN

    Fantastic. Thank you. A few questions/comments, if I may: 1. I've set it to both, and I understand that routes all traffic through the router. I'll switch that back to LAN only now that I have a working solution. 2. At a less critical time, yes, I will move the work network. I have...

    Help with OpenVPN connections to remote LAN

    Wow, that worked. I'll be honest, I have no idea why it worked. I... think I'm good now? Martineau, I promise I'll switch to using certs now. Thank you again!

    Help with OpenVPN connections to remote LAN

    To be honest, just for initial testing. I’ll ratchet up to a certificate method once I’ve locked in successfully connecting. Thanks for spotting that.

    Help with OpenVPN connections to remote LAN

    Thank you, I’ll give that a try now. Can I ask why you recommend changing the default port?

    Help with OpenVPN connections to remote LAN

    Hello Everyone, I hope everyone is staying safe during this crazy time in our lives. Like many of you, I have been asked to allow for remote connections by employees to their work desktops. I am attempting to set up the OpenVPN server on our Asus RT-88U running 384.15. I can connect...

    Are there any scripts or packages with functionality similar to fail2ban?

    Thank you both! I'm on a RT-AC86U running 384.15. I don't expose SSH to WAN, fortunately. I understand that it's based on logs. Does Diversion and/or Skynet provide any intuitive understanding of attempts to probe ports and/or brute force? I do have AI Protection on as well. Thank you...

    Are there any scripts or packages with functionality similar to fail2ban?

    Hello, I've just started using amtm, Diversion, and Skynet and loving the added functionality. Are there any tools available for functionality similar to fail2ban? That is, the routers I support are constantly hammered with bots looking for open ports. I do have to have a few open ports and...

    Problems getting a valid certificate for router

    Thank you very much. This makes complete sense and it sounds like I'm not missing anything major. I'll likely just keep navigating around the cert warnings. Thank you Maverickcdn and Merlin!

    Problems getting a valid certificate for router

    Thanks Merlin! Your firmware is fantastic. Thank you for all of your work! I understand about the IP address and LE. Should https://<subdomain>.gotdns.com load the web admin interface from inside the LAN? Am I missing some obvious solution to invalid certs when accessing the web admin...

    Problems getting a valid certificate for router

    Hello, I apologize for what is likely a newbie question. I'm trying to get a valid certificate setup so that when I visit my router admin interface at https://192.168.1.1, I don't have to accept the errors about invalid certificates each time. I'm running an RT-AC88U on Merlin's 384.15...

    Unable to update Asuswrt Merlin firmware on RT-AC88U

    My one and only piece of advice is that, in the past, I've had different luck upgrading via different browsers. It may be a coincidence, but it's worth trying. The update that ran this time was from Edge (I'm normally a Chrome user). I have two other AC68Us that have given me this same...

    Unable to update Asuswrt Merlin firmware on RT-AC88U

    Thank you, both, so much for your advice. I guess the fifth time was the charm, and I'm updated to 384.13. Have a great weekend!

    Unable to update Asuswrt Merlin firmware on RT-AC88U

    Hello, I have an Asus RT-AC88U running Asuswrt Merlin firmware 384.10_2. I'd like to update it to version 384.13, but each time I attempt to update, the firmware update process looks normal with the "Please wait" dialog, but after it ticks to 100%, the web page refreshes and I'm still on...

    Help Please..Need assistance stopping outbound connections!

    Thank you! This is amazing! This worked on the very first try and with just a few minutes of work! I put my own computer in the affected IP range and I couldn't reach/ping/connect to anything outside of the LAN. Thank you again! This is very kind of you.

    Help Please..Need assistance stopping outbound connections!

    So I'd really like to set up some firewall rules for my six cameras to block all outbound access (though leave them open and accessible to my VPN connection), but after reading this thread and trying to piece together the separate conversations, it's still a bit unclear the order and steps. Can...
