Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2023 0:55 Post subject: [SOLVED] Asus RT-N66U, VPN UP, No internet access
DD-WRT V3.0-r44715 big(11/03/20)
Kernel 4.4.241 #4749
Asus RT-N66U
Issue: When VPN is connected I am unable to access the internet or even ping from router.
Router's external address - 192.168.3.22
Router's lan address: 192.168.1.1
Clients subnet (assigned by the dd-wrt router): 192.168.1.x
Attached are outputs of
iptables -vnL
iptables -vnL -t nat
I tried the following with no success:
-Removing all the advanced settings
-Disabling the firewall
-connecting directly to the modem in order to make sure nothing blocks the traffic.
-connecting to a few other VPN servers, I can connect but still no access..

Hi and welcome to the forum, not bad to start with:
-reading the forum rules, where you can find lots of useful information...
-update your firmware, as the build you run its old and full of bugs and lacks on updates and security fixes...(u didn't read the rules : )
-have a look at the new builds threads Broadcom section
-as your post is network related, it should be in the Advanced Network section, where up on the top sickies, you can find guides and docs about OpenVPN client or server (but first update)
-dont post another post, as some of the mods will move it to the correct place...
-its too late for me to start digging on your issue, but its very likely misconfiguration...
-read the doc and guides and try to set it up again..so far, i can see some wrong bits, but its too late...give a try on reading and update to the last build which is 51576...
good luck ! _________________ Atheros

I ended up doing the 30-30-30 reset and got everything back to default settings
(Which I've already done before via the NVRAM - Restore to factory defaults) before.
After reset, I entered the same info again but now everything is up and running.
However, I'm not impressed with their speed.. I'm getting 5mb dl and 7mb up using their UK server (97-1-GB.cg-dialup.net) ...

Was wondering if there is a way to block clients from accessing to internet unless VPN is running? I mean, setting up on the router a rule that if VPN is down, no access for anyone?
I already selected "Source routing - all sources via VPN" and it's great when VPN is up and running, but when VPN is down, clients can still access the net, I would like to block it somehow?
I've got the guides but not sure how to look for this type of info?
