Hey all!

I have installed my new AR150 with OpenWRT.

I want all devices connected to my AR150 to use a VPN Connection.

I want also to communicate between all devices in my local network.

VPN is working.

Internet on my devices is working

Connecting my devices from AR150 to all other devices is working

BUT:

I can not connect from my others devices to my AR150 Webinterface or my devices connected to my AR150

i have disabled my VPN to test it

My Internet Router is a Fritzbox with DHCP 192.168.0.1 Network (DHCP to ...100)

AR150 Static IP 192.168.0.140

Webinterface reachable via 192.168.0.150 but only if I am connected via AR150 Wifi or Cable.

Firmware is OpenWRT 2.261




Can you help me?

If the static IP of the AR150 is 192.168.0.140, why does the web interface respond from address 192.168.0.150? Or is there a typo in your post?

The latest released version is 15.05.1. Perhaps you should upgrade to a newer version? Or is this some OEM's own firmware version that you're using?

Also, if you can open an SSH connection to the router, you should post the content of /etc/config/network, /etc/config/firewall, /etc/config/dhcp, /etc/config/wireless, /etc/config/uhttpd and whatever configuration file your VPN is using. This allows us to understand your network topology a bit better.

I am sorry, I do not get it working....

I tried it many times, because I like to fix by myself .. but it did not work

I would describe myself as an advanced user but I do not know what to do...

I tried it several times, reset it to default and tried again....

I need your help....


What do I want?

I want all devices connected to the router (via LAN and WLAN) to communicate with all local devices but only use VPN for the internet connection....sounds easy but impossible for me ... sad


My Router:

GL-AR150

Powered by Atheros 9331 SoC, 400MHz CPU
150Mbps high speed
16MB RAM
Stable performance
Low power consumption
Small, light, easy to use
OpenWrt pre-installed
4 GPIOs for IoT development
External antenna optional support
Optional POE support

It has his own Webinterface but I can also use the "normal" openwrt interface

1 x WAN Port
1 x LAN Port
1 x WLAN

Start IP 192.168.8.1

My Fritzbox with DHCP 192.168.0.1

What do you need to help me? I have reset the device to default....

Ok I got it working!

The only thing I do not get working is the communication between my local devices....

Any help?

Do I need to chance the firewall, the zones or rules?

That should just work if you put the interfaces into the same bridge such as br-lan.

In the AP section of /etc/config/wireless, set ap_isolate to 0 to allow wifi devices to communicate with each other.  It is supposed to default to 0 but doesn't always.

The discussion might have continued from here.
