Well, I was able to get the router set up where it was working, and was following the instructions for the VPN and got this error, "Insufficient permissions to read UCI configuration." The only fix I found was the ssh into the router and follow the manual directions. The problem is when I got the setting up the DNS, where they want you to set up the DNS on the WAN port, which I do not have.
So I tried separating LAN1 to be a WAN port which looked like it worked, but then the firewall kicked in and I couldn't get into the router again. and the br-lan didn't have DHCP setup. So I tried manually configuring my computer with an IP address on the network, and while I could "connect" to the router, it constantly timed out.
I had to FR the AC to get back in, and will go through the setup again. I'll look to see if in the dhcp-client settings if I can put in a different DNS, but does that overwrite any device that connects to the AP? And how do I set up the firewall for the 'tun0'? The expression looks like it only is on when the firewall is on a device. But since I have no WAN port, the firewall never is on, so it will not be on with the VPN.
Thanks again for all the help.
