Settings question for RT-AC87U

[martinr]

I swear, some of you must be keeping a library of things I've said over the years LOL

Soon available at Amazon: The Book of Merlin

The first 500 copies will come with a bookmark, with "Have you done a factory default reset recently?" written on it, and signed by L&LD.

The only acceptable way you should access the router remotely is over a vpn eg using OpenVPN Server on your router:

Merlin says:

“Personally however, I do not recommend opening even HTTPS to the WAN. Asuswrt's web server is poorly secured, and has had numerous security issues over the years. Best to limit it to LAN only, and use a VPN to remotely access it.”

BTW I have no plans ever to administer the Router remotely, plus have the VPN just set to allow internet access (for coffee-shop wifi, plus if someone finds a crack to the VPN hopefully they will still only see the external internet).

Anyway I got a decent number of answers, some very useful, and I'll go with the defaults on the others, thanks to all...
