remote access

So hello everyone. I’m new here so please excuse any mistakes or misunderstandings on my parts. I bought a brand new ASUS 98BE Pro. Brought it home, held down the WPS button and powered it up and did not power it off or release the button until the final white LED went out. I did this 5 times...

Before anyone asks: 1. I'm already using OpenVPN and Wireguard for LAN Access; this is a question out of curiosity since I am tinkering with IPsec for fun (though if it does allow me to access devices on the LAN, it would be a helpful backup seeing as it's natively implemented into Windows and...

hello, i have asus ax58u for the moment with388.2_2 firmware. The remote access is open for WAN (https only, port 8443). Remote access is limited for specific networks (192.168.1.0/24 10.1.0.0/24 213.87.140.0/24). Then i'm outside allowed networks the open ports scaner show opened ports from...

Hello all! I tried looking online, in the wiki, and other documentation but I could not find an answer. Sorry for this: I am travelling away from my home office in another city. I've got an RT-AC5300 running 386.7_2 behind a cable modem. I am sure that the WAN/LAN connection is running as...

I am interested in the question. How is RDP different from VPN when it comes to connecting to a computer remotely? Which do you prefer to use?

I look after the IT infrastructure for our local community hall. We have an Internet Cafe with three windows 10 PCs, a streaming webcam and hopefully soon a CCTV system. I would like to be able to remotely access the Lan so I can wake up the PCs and RDP into them to install updates etc. Also...

A small retrospective: I have configured VPN client before to make my home network behinf NAT visible for me when remote. It worked like a charm. But now we have new firmware update - and it was broken. I've tried to configure VPN Director to allow a correct routing: It does not work though...

Hi all. From some time my home provider uses NAT so I have no "white IP" anymore. However I am using Oracle Cloud VPS with OpenVPN-AS installed on it. "Using" means I connect all my portable devices to this VPN being in trip. So my idea is to connect the router to the same VPN but limiting...

Hi SNB friends, Firstly, thank you for your amazing threads. Now, I have successfully been able to access my LAN remotely via OpenVPN Server, tunneled through a OpenVPN Client. This is on a ASUS RT-AC86U running the latest version of ASUSMerlinWRT. This is 90% of the way there, for what I'm...

Hi there, I am struggling to configure my router in the Administration > System > Remote Access Config settings I want to be able to : 1. Access from home 2. Access from WAN (Web only) 3. Whitelist 3 remote fixed IP address (4 if I include my own home fixed IP address) All IP addresses...

Hi All. Today I have changed my provider and the new one looks more smart than previous :) Now I can see 10.64.94.xx as my WAN IP address and it is very likely that I am behind multiple NAT. That's why DDNS gets incorrect IP even with external method to retrieve WAN IP - and as a result I...

I have just upgraded to the AX88U and want to query remotely accessing the router. I can set up, and have tested remote access and it works fine. HTTPS is on with WAN access restricted to one device. DDNS has also been set up. Is this safe? Is anyone else happily using this? Running latest...

So I have the ASUS RT-AC87U router with Asuswrt-merlin firmware (384.12). I'm running an openVPN-server so I can connect to my home network remotely, so I can remotely maintain and control both the router and the clients on the network. I just recently got a VPN subscription and added the...

Hi to anyone out there, I have a small query based on the setup of ExpressVPN on my network whilst still allowing 'remote access' to my Plex account when all my media is stored on my Synology DiskStation. Currently I have the the VPN setup on my ASUS DSL-AC68U (running Merlin firmware) which...

I find some problems with my internate provider, so that I do complet reinstal my router with nvram cleanup (I hope so). Now, with 384.9 firmware, I could do nothing with ports: I cannot forward ports, cannot access WebIU or SSH from WAN. System even doesn’t response on ping from WAN. But I do...

Hi Team, I am trying to find out for the last few hours on how to implement a 2-factor authentication (2FA) for my asus router which has already enabled with https for remote administration away from home. I wanted it to be extremely secure, so would like to implement a 2-factor for...

Two of my routers are running on different networks in different locations. I have set up OVPN servers on both routers, and I have exported ovpn profile files from both of them After importing the ovpn profile files I am able to connect to both using tunnelbrick. Both tunnels work fine, which...

I have a raspberry pi running a server. I connect to it by typing the IP address in a Chrome browser on mobile devices, Windows or a Mac. I can also type the pi's hostname "dimlights/" to access it, except on the Windows 10 PC running Chrome. On that PC I can only reach the pi via its IP...

It was discovered "by mistake", but it cannot be described any other way but serious: Asus has introduced DDNS and remote management support into Asus Router mobile app for Android. It might be nice feature to have, but there is one big BUT in this implementation - if router is added/linked to...

Hi everyone, I've been on a crash course, learning about networks, routers, etc. I've flashed a AC3100 w/Merlin 380.68.2; I'm currently connected to a VPN as a client where I have two computers and a QNAP 251+ routed through that VPN and everything else through WAN. What I want to accomplish...
