I have an RT-AC88U router. I am using it as the gateway (routing traffic between my network and the internet),as a VPN (OpenVPN), and wireless access point.
I recently switched to an external DHCP and DNS (Server 2008 R2), and everything seemed fine at first... and then noticed that a lot of our wireless devices would connect fairly normally: They'd request a DHCP address, the server would receive it, assign an address (which shows up in active leases), and send it out... but the devices return an error stating they don't have an ip address.
SO... I seem to have a fix in place. I SSH into the router, type dnsmasq --dhcp-relay (and it's settings), and we're good... until a reboot. dnsmasq.conf gets overwritten after a reboot, so... here's my question:
If I install Merlin, I understand that I can more easily set this up and have the dhcp relay work upon reboot... BUT... will I need to reconfigure all of my VPN clients, or can they keep their settings as-is, and still work?
