Dear @all,
my Asus Router RT-AC88U - flashed with current Merlin Beta-Firmware 380.67_alpha2 - is configured to run as VPN OpenVPN-Client. The VPN-client connection via the router is running successfully.
In addition to that, I'd like to use the OpenVPN-server of the above mentioned router, to enable secure remote access to my home network (NAS, Samba-Shares, Printers etc.) - from the road (when I'm not at home) - using my mobile phone or my Laptop.
So I startet with the configuration of OpenVPN-server 1.
Sample for Advanced Config: see attached image
After saving the configuration, I startet the router's export and imported the generated *.ovpn-file to my client devices OpenVPN-installation.
Then I configured an open port using the "remote port forwarding"-feature of my VPN's providers client-backend, in order to enable TCP/UDP-Traffic to my local OpenVPN-Server port (e.g. 1149) using a predifined ddns-alias (like XXXXX.vpnprovider.org). So for example vpnproviders port 50000 directs to local port 1149 (TCP + UDP).
Unfortunaltely I got now stuck with building up any connection from the clients.
The DNS-resolution of my VPN-provider works correctly (client receives correct OpenVPN-Server IP), but the OpenVPN-Client (version 1.1.1 build 212 - 64-bit on iPhone)) ends with connection_timeout.
iPhone's OpenVPN-client Log-File (anonymized):
Is there anything more I need to configure on the router or the client? Maybe a firewall forwarding problem (if this could be the problem, what do I need to do)?
Since I do not have to forward to a specific client in my home lan (that is running a OpenVPN-server), but the main router itself is the OpenVPN server, I didn't find a suitable configuration example, yet.
I would be very grateful for tips or helping hints.
