    Offload OpenVPN to Raspberry Pi 5 versus using my AXE16000 for site-site?

    That was my suspicion. Any reason to still try to offload the openvpn site to site off of my router? I didn't really see any reason to. As opposed to the wireguard issues with NAT acceleration, didn't seem like there were similar concerned with openvpn. It does feel to me that for my use of...

    Offload OpenVPN to Raspberry Pi 5 versus using my AXE16000 for site-site?

    So I was able about a year ago to set up a site to site openvpn setup between my home and our weekend house, which is great since i can now use that setup to do things like backup to a backup NAS and do other tasks. I run Merlin on both routers (AXE16000 on either end). Never really worried...

    Configure ASUS OpenVPN server to allow client-client access

    Ok so finally I was able to figure out I need to push the route to my client, which now seems to work, albeit I can't get to the main router page which when I try to go to it shows "not found" but other servers in the lan like my synology is found. So almost 100% there, but not quite! Not sure...

    Configure ASUS OpenVPN server to allow client-client access

    To just add on, I did enable the client<->client option in advanced on the openVPN server and that allows me to ping my weekend house router from my client connection on my MacOS device, but other than pinging it, I cannot otherwise access that router nor then do I see any other machine behind...

    Configure ASUS OpenVPN server to allow client-client access

    So quick question. I currently have at my main house an OpenVPN server up and running and then an always up client connection from my weekend house and another Asus router to the OpenVPN server on my main house router. Works great and from either of those locations I can access all local...

    Adding DNS entries for local machines

    Only certain traffic. Sounds like I need to get my hands dirty and ssh in to each router to set this up. Thank you!

    Adding DNS entries for local machines

    Unfortunately I think if I swap to TAP from TUN, that will screw up some other things of mine within the two networks.

    Adding DNS entries for local machines

    I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, I could not find a thread. I have two Asus routers set up with a bidirectional VPN (OpenVPN) and can access machines on both remote nets which is great. However, I would also like to assign alpha friendly names for each of the machines so rather...

    Dual WAN failover/failback

    Yeah, that will be my next attempt when I am back at the remote location, to play around with. Though since I already have the ER605 and I know it works fine, I am also tempted just to set that up again in front of the router. Not sure.

    Dual WAN failover/failback

    I could have done with less up in my secondary location but just was mimicking for simplicity the exact network setup (hardware wise) I have at home. Unquestionably overkill in retrospect!

    Dual WAN failover/failback

    Sounds like if I want failover, I have to shove me ER605 back into service. Luckily I saved it! :) I did see some odd behaviour even with it, but after a bunch of tinkering think I finally got things working a while back. Stupidly I reset it, so now I just have to go back and recreate how I...

    Dual WAN failover/failback

    Interesting. I recently switched at my remote location from a TPlink ER605 which had dual wan with failback with a primary starlink and then the cell connection as secondary which then fed into a google nest router. I switched to Asus both because I like having far more ability to directly...

    Dual WAN failover/failback

    I know this is an older thread, but I am curious about the Dual WAN failover issues people have been noting. I am using AsusWRT-Merlin (latest version that i think came out in December '22) and set up with a primary (a starlink connection) and a secondary (Mofi 4500 in bridge with an ATT sim)...

    Setting schedule on OpenVPN (Asus Router) for connecting to OpenVPN server?

    So I have followed a number of threads here and just finally got my OpenVPN site to site going between two GT-AXE16000 routers so I can also do remote hyperbackups from my main home Synology NAS to a remote Synology NAS. Seems to be working perfectly! Added bonus is seamlessly being able to...
