    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    Matter of opinion there but that's ok ur entitled to yours. I was employed (paid) in the field for over 30 years and I'm very confident with my facts. :cool:

    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    I haven't taken a really close look at home routers in at least five years and back then they were really lame. IDS was a foreign concept to them. Kiddie network toys for the most part. I'm surprised and impressed how much they advanced. I don't have to do too much research on what ISPs gather...

    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    The way I have it setup now with the ISP router in the DMZ they can't even see their own router and it works fine with the ISP connected device. I still have the ASA up and that's making me virtually invisible. I was looking at higher end Asus routers but my initial goal was just getting a VPN...

    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    The 1921 End of Support September 30, 2023; the switch EOL November 30, 2018 but it still does VLANS and the ASA 5505 End of Support August 31, 2022. I don't have a TAC account anyway so I wouldn't be getting Cisco support but I am registered with https://community.cisco.com where there's a lot...

    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    I only paid $16 for the switch, the Asus $70, the 1921 router $40 and I paid $60 for the ASA 5505 three and a half years ago. The ASA I can phase out now and give to my son. The rest of the equipment I'm keeping. Total investment $126. Quite honestly I don't think I'm going to find a good home...

    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    I found a Cisco 8 port gigabit managed switch at a really good price. This will allow me to setup VLans to keep my internal network separate from the ISP router plus take advantage of the Cisco router's gigabit interfaces.

    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    Thanks for your reply. I pretty much expected that but I also thought how many different flavors of DMZ could there possibly be. I thought it would all be plain vanilla. And I really wasn't really going to put the Asus on the frontline. I don't trust home routers enough for that. This is my...

    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    After all these years I just learned something new. Guess I have to keep the big boy (ASA) on the front line to handle the big boy work. LOL

    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    Thanks for your reply So it's not a real DMZ then, it's just a device with extra ports opened (ftp, web, mail, etc). That's misleading on Asus's part. I've worked extensively with Cisco firewalls and there a DMZ is a separate zone outside of the internal network. I actually have the RT-AX1800S...

    RT-AX1800S DMZ Not Working

    I have an RT-AX1800S configured with OpenVPN client and I setup DMZ because I need one device exposed directly to the Internet. I setup that device under "LAN - DHCP Server" with a static IP address then under "WAN - DMZ" I enabled DMZ and added the device's IP address as per Asus instructions...
