    Security Upgrade Toggle on Merlin WRT?

    In the Firmware Upgrade page is a toggle for "Security Upgrade". It says: Can this be enabled with merlin WRT or could this cause the firmware to try and update with the original ASUS firmware?

    OpenVPN 2.4 with ECC and ECDH

    So am I correct that all I have to do is add "ecdh-curve secp384r1" to the "custom configuration" to enable it? After doing so there is no trace of it in the client.ovpn file though? Thanks!

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.5 is now available

    For me it could also not find the release notes when trying to upgrade from 3004.388.4. The updated work fine now. If I understand correctly, the bug should be fixed and when doing the next upgrade to 388.6 I should be able to find the changelog? Besides... I am always checking your website for...

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    Yes this is exactly what I was thinking and how my webserver is battling spam and attacks... a simple tool to block/ban IPs based on some rules (e.g. getting spammed on a port). This would be a really really neat feature in Asus WRT Merlin @RMerlin :)

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    Thanks for your feedback. Uh good input! I believe I was able to send e-mails while connected to the hotels WLAN so this might be a good idea. I am also still looking for a way to make syncthing work in such scenarios. So I could try using OpenVPN on TCP 443 and Syncthing on TCP 993.

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    Well, connection established means that someone managed to exploit OpenVPN or cracked a VPN Users password. Both very unlikely?

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    I understand, I agree.. but there aren't any other solutions? Additionally, whats the impact of getting bombarded by a port scanner? Security wise it should not matter?

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    The hotel I have been was really strict. I couldn't even use DNSCrypt (which I don't know how it was blocked since that also uses the standard ports?).

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    I use the AiProtection features if that is what you are referring to for port 443? Or is that something else? I guess I would also need to switch to TCP instead of UDP for the OpenVPN server protocol? Are there any other ports like 53/443 that I could use? Actually in my coporate network the...

    VPN Server on port 53/443?

    Is it okay (in terms of security and unexpected troubles / behaviour) to run my OpenVPN Server on port 53 or 443 to be able to access it even when being on a network (e.g. corporate) with a firewall that seems to block most other requests? For example I can browse the web but not access my VPN...

    Port forwarding for client connected to OpenVPN server

    It seems like I just can't get my laptop and smartphone to communicate through my companies local network. I am trying to sync these devices via syncthing on the local network. What I can do is to connect them to my syncthing installation on my home server. So I could sync both devices by using...

    AX86U - Wireguard vs OpenVPN - Speed and phone battery related?

    It is not an issue per se but more of a "how much more can I optimize it" since all of the devices that will use the VPN are on battery (smartphone, laptop). Thanks for you input!

    AX86U - Wireguard vs OpenVPN - Speed and phone battery related?

    Yes, as I said, my mean concern is battery life.
