Remote SSH Login setting not sticking

[Apprentice]

Am trying to get this working, but it seems that changing the Admin-->system-->Enable SSH LAN and WAN setting will not persist!

Is there something I am missing?

(F/W 388.2.2 on the AX 88U)

Many thanks!

After flashing the 388.2_2 firmware, did you perform a full reset? Without using any saved backup config file? And without using/inserting a USB drive that was previously used for amtm/scripts? If you haven't, when was the last time such a proper reset was performed?

Thanks for the reply, Have not reset the router for close to a year. Have just been flashing the router with settings seemingly persisting (have been backing up tho).

If i am reading where this is going right is there a better way of saving setting than via Admin--> save settings? Maybe a script?

Is there a hardware method that works better than a soft reset?

Is there a solid procedure you can point me to for stopping/unmounting the attached usb disk?

Many thanks!

Enable SSH LAN and WAN setting will not persist!

What does it revert to? LAN only, or completely disabled? Do you have Skynet installed? It will disable SSH WAN access as a security measure.

Thanks. It reverts to LAN only, and yes, I do have Skynet running.

Is there a way to disable the wan SSH block in Skynet?

Ok have just found this thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/skynet-resetting-ssh-access-to-lan-only.65403/

Am used to SSH and in particular have in the past often used RDP via an SSH tunnel.

Anybody have any recommended OpneVPN setup guides they could point me to?

Again many thanks for the help!

Disable “Secure mode” in the Skynet settings menu. That will allow you to enable SSH from WAN and GUI access from WAN. Neither are recommended, but that’s how you can bypass the extra protection, if you choose to.
