ANSWERED asus problem with ports

[Henioxxxxxx 0]

good morning, I have a problem with airvpn, namely I would like to have an asus vpn router with open ports for my ps5. I downloaded the map to 2.4 via open TCP in the advanced OpenVPN profile options 443 3 If you have issue with UDP. Look FAQ 'UDP vs TCP' I inserted it into the router and it works, there is a different location, there is protection, but there is no port opening!! ports has not been opened, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong!!! I listen to the ports program and it doesn't work, it shows that it has not been opened.  and when I do it via Eddie, the same thing connects to another country, it gives me a program to listen and shows that the port is working, the port is open, maybe I'm doing something wrong with this router, can someone help me?

Hello!

This guide could be exactly what you're looking for:

Please consider that direct access to iptables is available on Asus WRT Merlin but not Asus WRT. Upgrade (if your router supports it and you haven't already applied it) is easy and fast through the Asus control panel.

Kind regards

I have Windows 10, will there be a problem with that?? iptables is a program? Do I have to use this to unblock the system's firewall?

Hello!

The previous message is valid only if you connect your router to the VPN, as it was understood or misunderstood. If you connect your Windows machine please ignore the message, you don't need to forward anything from router's interface to your Windows machine in this case (and actually everything works fine, as you wrote). However, PS5 can not connect directly to the VPN as far as we know, so having your Asus router connect to the VPN and share the VPN traffic with the PS5 can be a good solution to have the PS5 inside the VPN.

iptables is a userspace utility available in various Linux based systems (including Asus WRT Merlin) that lets you set the packet filtering and mangling rules of the system. It will be necessary if you need to "forward ports" for your PS5, otherwise you don't need it.

Kind regards
