This is dd-wrt setup as an access point. Yes I searched Smile. It's possible I didn't know what I was searching for lol.

Router: Asus RT-AC68U
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r44715 std (11/03/20)

I upgraded my phone to Android 12 and lost the ability to use PPTP. I set up OpenVPN on my router and can connect fine but I can't get to my network or the internet. I know this is because I'm using a lan port instead of the wan port so, obviously the command to update the iptables to use the wan doesn't work. Is there a way to route the VPN through the lan port? Specifically port 1. Thanks for any help.

Edit:

For anyone else that happens upon this. I've tried the following with no luck.

Code:

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o br0 -s $(nvram get openvpn_net)/$(nvram get openvpn_tunmask) -j MASQUERADE

Start with telling us your router model and build number.

See the forum guidelines with helpful pointers about how to research your router, where and what firmware to download, where and how to post and many other helpful tips:
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=324087

Are you referring to setting up an OpenVPN server on the WAP?

If so the documentation has a paragraph about that.

A lot of relevant information is a sticky in this forum:

Sorry about that. This build is the last one my router supports.

Router: Asus RT-AC68U
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r44715 std (11/03/20)

Not sure what what I want is called.

Fios Router

That is a really old and outdated build Sad

See the forum guidelines, link in my previous post.

Consider upgrading and *after* upgrade reset to defaults and put settings in manually never restore from a backup (to a different build)

Unfortunately that's the last build that supports my router. I'm going through the troubleshooting. So far, no go. Thanks for the link though.

No it is not.

Please read the forum guidelines.

The last build for your router is 48865.

I am running it as we speak

There is a DISCLAIMER on that page but I know it can be confusing.

The forum guidelines are the ones you should follow

The new firmware and enabling " Allow Clients full LAN access" has allowed me to connect to some lan devices but not my nas for some reason. Also no internet through VPN. One step closer so I'll keep researching. Thanks for your help.

The openvpn server setup guide should get you going:

https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=327398

But if you have questions feel free to ask.
Post screenshot of OpenVPN setup and status page. When you have questions

Found that if I connect through wifi (from somewhere else obviously) internet works and shows I'm connected through my home internet on whatsmyip. If I connect over cell data there's no internet.

Without knowing your settings and seeing the server and client logs just a long shot:
DNS problems?
