I have my own cloud storage server using ownCloud for many years now, and love it. It’s like DropBox, only better.
. Default gateway Primary Router: (Modem/Router combo) coaxial input from the ISP, 192.168.0.1. Second Router: Asus AC-1300 ( connected toPrimary router through ethernet cable) 192.168.50.xx. Win 10 pc (remote desktop target) connected to Second Router through ethernet port.
- Page 1 of 2 - Local DNS Setup issue with ASUS router - posted in Networking: I set up my Asus RT-AC1900P router for a home network and after completing the set up, I ran the DNS Benchmark test on.
- I re-purposed an old Mac to allow for remote vpn access to my home network. All seems well with the server's vpn setup and status but vpn initiations aren't working due to what I believe is the firewall on my router. Hopefully you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've added a screenshot of the port forwarding section of the router's admin portal.
However, even with that, it’s still nice to have a shared storage for my home network. So today I bought a Seatate Ultra Slim USB 3 disk from Costco, with 2TB capacity. It is attached to my router, ASUS RT-AC68U. Here are the steps for:
- Router set up;
- Mount a drive on Windows;
- Mount a drive on Linux;
Router:
1. Go to 192.168.1.1 through your browser;
2. USB Application (left side);
3. Media Services and Servers;
4. Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk;
5. Enable Share. I also enabled Allow guest login. Leave everything and click “Apply”.
Windows:
Map a drive to 192.168.1.1Seagate_Backup_Plus_DriveSeagate
Linux:
sudo apt install cifs-utils
sudo mkdir /media/routerUSB
Edit /etc/fstab, adding this line:
//192.168.1.1/Seagate_Backup_Plus_Drive/Seagate /media/routerUSB cifs guest 0 0
Run sudo mount -a
Update: I’m now running Manjaro Arch Linux on my home workstation. cifs-utils is installed by default. I created the routerUSB folder under /mnt. In addition, the entry I added to /etc/fstab is a bit different. To get rid of an error similar to “host not found”, I added the vers=1.0 option:
//RT-AC68U-56E8/Seagate /mnt/routerUSB cifs username=user,password=password,vers=1.0 0 0
Enjoy!
Not sure if this is the right forum, if not I will gladly move it.I have an ASUS router setup with the OpenVPN server enabled. Using the .ovpn file I can connect the client from inside my LAN to the router without a problem. But from the outside I am unable to connect. I don't even get to see any messages in the log files about my connection attempt. So somehow it is like the connection is blocked.
I am using xxxxx.asuscomm.com to resolve the IP address of my dynamic IP. And that seems to work just fine. Going to an online port scanner and having it scan my UDP ports it does show the openvpn port to be open for the outside world.
In the log file of the failing client (windows) I see that the most basic connection attempt 'are you there' is not working.
