HI All, I am stuck with the ISP modem/roter and I want to use a second router wtih VPN capabilities, but I cannot get the OpenVPN server to work. Please do not suggest to put the first router as bridge as I have tried and it is not possible. This is My Network configuration so far: Modem Router 1: Telstra Netgear V7610. Gets Internet signal from a phone line (ADSL?) It has 2 VOIP phone lines for the office. Fix WAN IP XX.XXX.XX.XX DHCP: ON DHCP Range: 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200 LAN IP: 192.168.0.1 DMZ Server on: 192.168.0.3 Port forward 22523 to Router 2 on 192.168.0.3 Router 2 Asus RT AC88U Connected to modem 1 on LAN port 1 to LAN port 1 on Asus. Assigned LAN IP as 192.168.0.3 DHCP server OFF OpenVPN server ON with port UDN 22523. My question now: 1.With DMZ pointing to the Asus Router do I need to connect the ASUS router using its WAN port? 2.Do I need to setup WAN IP address of asus as our Public IP address? or the Local IP of the V7610? 3.Since the Azus Router is in the DMZ now, Do I still need to do port forwarding port 22523 to Asus router? 192.168.0.3? or maybe this is causing an issue and I need to delete this port fwd from V7610 table? I can connect to the open VPN server if I am in the local network. but id does not work if I am offsite (My phone hotspot). I'd appreciate any help.
