Model ax86u, merlin 386.3_2
I just bought this router and used it for a few days.
I deployed nginx based on entware on it. And I use IPSec VPN frequently so that I can access the home network from outside. But since I bought this AX86U, sometimes the router will restart, especially when I use IPSec VPN on multiple devices and disconnect and reconnect the VPN service more often. But to be honest, I'm not sure about this reason.
I got some crash logs.
Does anyone have the same problem or can suggest a solution?

The pdc_rx process seems to have crashed. If you search for that in these forums you'll find this post as well as a few others indicating that it's related to IPSec. I think in @bbunge's case he went back to using stock firmware, although it's not clear whether that actually fixed the problem.
 
thank you for your reply. I have been plagued by this problem recently.
I have searched for related information in this forum and have also viewed the post you linked to.
However, I noticed that he reported this issue under the post about firmware version 386.2 beta 3. And I don’t know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent versions.(According to my experience, this problem has not been fixed)
Thanks again for your reply.
I decided to try OPENVPN or go back to ASUS official firmware, hoping to solve the problem.

I went back to Asus factory firmware to simplify things in case I was not here and someone else had to maintain my network. I am very pleased with my choice, have had no problems with the releases and feel my network is secure. I do use DoT to resolvers that filter malware (Quad9 and etc.) and have been testing a Pi-Hole with malware/phishing blockers and Stubby for DoT/DNSSEC.

I did try the beta2 from Asus which crashed the router. They will get that fixed in time...
 
@bbunge Have you tried using Instant Guard / IPSec since switching to stock firmware?
Instantguard and OpenVPN Server - yes. Both work well. I do disable compression in OpenVPN as the current clients do not support it.
