Issue:
DDNS is not being updated with the router's real public IP address in r47138.
Essentially, DD-WRT sent my router's VPN client IP address, instead of the router's actual public IP. As a result, my remote connection via OpenVPN fails to reach my DD-WRT router due to the wrong address registered at my DDNS.
Back down to r47692, I can remotely connect with no problem at all.

Do you use (Yes) "External IP check" ?
Thank you for your reply, egc.
I tried both, Yes and No, but it made no difference.
When Yes is ticked, it updated my DDNS with my VPN server IP address. No VPN connection could be made.
When No, it indicates that DDNS is updated with the router's real IP address. Still, no connection could be made.
In both cases above, the lines of text appear to be confusing.
Backed down to r47692, DDNS is updated with the router's real IP address and connection was made successfully. I also noted that there are only simple lines of text. See attached pics.

Sorry for discussing this here, but I think it will get fixed quickly if brainslayer saw our discussion.
I tested your suggestion and it looks good from a test html page.
12% 8% 8% 10% 7% 7% 15% 7% 7% 7% 24% =112
By the way the total should be 100%, 112 is incorrect. If you look the real render in the browser, you should notice that Signal Quality column has the same width as MAC Address, since the browser changed it to 12% internally. So the final number would be
Router/Version: Buffalo WZR-600DHP
Method: GUI update over r47925 w/o reset
Mode/Status: Client - 5 GHz only
Issues/Errors: Boot Loop/Bricked
Had to recover via TFTP. After recovery I'm noticing the 2.4 GHz indicator stays lit full time (green) even though it is disabled in the GUI. The 5 GHZ LED flashes amber as expected. Appears the WDS/Connection watchdog is dead again. Message in log that it started but it's not firing or at least not logging that it's firing.

@DWcruiser, better start a new thread in the Advanced Networking forum, this is the build thread.
You are mentioning connection problems it looks like you are running an OpenVPN server and client on the same router, something which needs special setup.
As a test you can connect with the routers IP address and not with the DDNS Domain name.
Note that you can also login at your DDNS provider and see (or set) what address they have from you and also note that it takes 15-30 minutes before the changing of address is reflected/propagated to other DNS servers so that it is visible.
The routers WAN IP address can be found with (from CLI telnet/Putty):
nvram get wan_gateway
which should be the same as shown in the upper right hand corner of the GUI
Edit: just did some testing with DDNS and it worked without a problem.
I also use a router with build 48138 and an OpenVPN server, WireGuard server and an OpenVPN client without a problem.
The OpenVPN client must use PBR to free the WAN for access or route the ports of the OpenVPN server and WireGuard server via the WAN, I am doing the latter see picture of OpenVPN client settings: 1194 is the OpenVPN server port, 51810 is the port of the WireGuard server.
Thank-you BrianSlyer for your Great Work and everyone else who makes DD-WRT Great on the Forum! _________________ Home Network on Telus 1Gb PureFibre - 10GbE Copper Backbone
