    Iptables Rules for OpenVPN Port Forwarding

    Hello all. I'll do my best to explain my situation and what I'm attempting to do as clearly and succinctly as possible. Two years ago (May 30th 2016) I posted in this forum asking for help to figure out a way to successfully forward server ports via an OpenVPN tunnel from my laptop (running an...

    Google Fiber and RT-AC68R Running ASUSWRT-Merlin

    So I just scheduled the installation of Google Fiber for July 9th, and until that time I have to figure out how to be able to assign the public WAN IP address to my router, and get the maximum throughput possible. The preferred setup would be to plug my router into the Google Fiber network box...

    OpenVPN Port Forwarding Question

    yorgi, in the weeks of research I was doing, I did come across one paid VPN service that allows you to log in and set certain ports to be forwarded. AirVPN https://airvpn.org/

    OpenVPN Port Forwarding Question

    So after weeks of figuring out how to forward all my server ports via the VPN tunnel to my laptop, and succeeding just the other day, I just came up with a solution that is FAR simpler and more elegant, and which makes any scripts unnecessary. Yesterday I learned how to give my laptop a static...

    OpenVPN Port Forwarding Question

    yorgi, I didn't delete the other reply I originally made to this message. For some reason I'm flagged to have my posts reviews by an admin before they are accepted. The other one never got accepted, so I finally did delete it after I got your message that you saw it. Definitely take a look at...

    OpenVPN Port Forwarding Question

    Well, I am typing this from a coffee shop near my house, and it's all working brilliantly. All my server applications are working correctly as if they were on my network. Basically, I now take my port forwarding wherever I go, regardless of network. Last night I also finally figured out how to...

    OpenVPN Port Forwarding Question

    c OK, here is the what I have in /jffs/scripts/nat-start. This is working very well, and correctly starts up when I reboot my router. I still have more testing and experimenting to do, and lots more research. There are some complications that I still have to figure out. My next order of...

    OpenVPN Port Forwarding Question

    yorgi, I am grateful for your replies to my post, and I am also grateful that I did not accept you saying that this probably not possible, even with /jffs/scripts. After a huge amount of research and experimentation/testing, I finally got it to work. I have been very focused on learning the ins...

    OpenVPN Port Forwarding Question

    Doing a selective port scan from my phone while VPNed into my router showed that the ports I had opened on my router were indeed open.

    OpenVPN Port Forwarding Question

    Thank you for your reply. My router IS my VPN server (my laptop and phone are clients), however, hence the reason I've been working with nat-start on my router. Doing a port scan is a good idea though. I'll try that today when I have a free moment.

    OpenVPN Port Forwarding Question

    Hello all, I rarely make posts asking for help or suggestions, as I tend to figure most things out myself via lots and lots of web searches, testing, experimenting, and the like. In this case, however, I think I will ask for help, as the complexity of this issue has my brain hurting. Here's my...
