    Help - Enable SSH access on remote RT-AC87U VPN Server by editing Config file...Is it Possible?

    Colin. Thanks for the help, I've resolved my issue. I didn't realise that the built in DDNS services could handle the situation where you are NAT'ed behind another router. I've now got it working with https://freedns.afraid.org/ using the "External" method. I think now I will go ahead and...

    Help - Enable SSH access on remote RT-AC87U VPN Server by editing Config file...Is it Possible?

    I thought that enabling custom scripts moved the jffs partion to a USB drive so that any changes made would survive a reboot, is that not the case? I believe I need to enable Custom scripts to allow me to configure DDNS when NAT'ed behind firewall. As such I thought I would lose my VPN...

    Help - Enable SSH access on remote RT-AC87U VPN Server by editing Config file...Is it Possible?

    So I managed to get my hands on an old AC66U to do some testing of my idea. In case this might help someone in the future this is what I found out. You certainly can modify the config file and reload it, and settings will be changed (seems obvious I know, but I wanted to confirm in test...

    Help - Enable SSH access on remote RT-AC87U VPN Server by editing Config file...Is it Possible?

    Yes, VPN port forwarded but currently no other port is. I do have access to other router to enable other ports if needed though. I tried above, but again get same message and unable to make any changes.

    Help - Enable SSH access on remote RT-AC87U VPN Server by editing Config file...Is it Possible?

    Tried that, I can't make any changes to any Local Access settings via GUI which lead me to editing the config file idea.

    Help - Enable SSH access on remote RT-AC87U VPN Server by editing Config file...Is it Possible?

    Here is screenshot of current config. Any attempt to change Local Access values or enable SSH results in "This port is for HTTP LAN port." message and no change.

    Help - Enable SSH access on remote RT-AC87U VPN Server by editing Config file...Is it Possible?

    Thanks Colin, Authentication method is https, so not sure how relevant both being set to 8443 is. Clearly would be a problem if Authentication was set to "Both". Either way, the point is I 'm not able to change any "Local Access Config" settings as I get the "This Port is for HTTP LAN port"...

    Help - Enable SSH access on remote RT-AC87U VPN Server by editing Config file...Is it Possible?

    Hello There. I have a rather unusual situation that I'm hoping someone far wiser than I can assist me with. I have an old RT-AC87U running 384.13-10 firmware (last available firmware for this model). This router is setup solely to be a VPN server to a remote location which I don't have...

    Can't use OpenDNS and google forcesafesearch simultaneously

    I've had both DSN Filtering and google safe search working for ages, but after trying some different configurations recently, I can't get this working again. It would be very helpful to understand how enabling DNS filtering on the GUI overrides dnsmasq. The config I did have working was as...

    How to resolve LAN access when using SSL certs for WAN acess

    Hello. I recently decided to start using Lets Encrypt SSL certs for internet access to features on my Synology NAS (using self signed certs before) to remove the tiresome security warnings. However, since making this change I can no longer access these same services (CalDav / CardDav for...

    RT-AC66U Print Server Problems

    Followed Watchman25 procedure and confirm worked for me, but while it works, it is so slow that I would actually say unusable.

    Google safesearch

    Yup, that works now. And hopefully will stay working! I do suspect that there may by another bug associated with changing settings and then re-saving a backup config file which is somehow causing corruption or abnormal state in the nvram or configuration file itself. I definitely got to a...

    Google safesearch

    Narrowig ddwn the issues Okay, trying to take the next step to enable Google safe search and this is what I have found. It would appear to me that when changing the DNS filter from "OpenDSN" to "Router", it stops enforcing the DNS setting on the network clients. I have set the WAN DNS to...
