Asus RT-N66 - Tomato - OpenVPN - VLAN

[sparkynerd]

I am trying to configure OpenVPN on my Asus RT-N66 running Tomato (Shibby). I have 2 VLANs setup and working but am having difficulty with OpenVPN. It connects, but has no access to the remote network. I have followed every tutorial I can find, but still can't get it to work. Does anyone have any experience or success with this?

Just experienced that yesterday (OpenVPN client on Tomato not working) but that was on my Cisco E4200V1.

The same configuration works fine on my RT-N66U flashed with Merlins' firmware so it's definitely not a configuration problem.

No harm done (for me) as I was just 'playing' with my unused E4200 as it's basically unusable (for my setup) due to the pathetic WAN-to-LAN throughput (100Mbps w/o BCM_NAT, 130Mbps w/ BCM_NAT).

Elpibe10-

Do you have VLANs setup on your Asus/Merlin install? I can use Merlin instead of Tomato, but I am not going to use wireless on the Asus. I have an access point that needs to be on a separate VLAN from the router.

Not on my router. I've a couple of MikroTik managed switches (RB250GS & RB260GS) handling the VLAN tagging and untagging.

I went the 'separate' route (router + managed switch) as most consumer routers don't do VLAN or have limited VLAN functionality.

Those MikroTik switches and routers (I've an RB750GL acting as an Inter-LAN router) are really affordable and work flawlessly even if left unattended for years.
