I have a archer ac4000 and I have tried using openVPN and PPTP and I can connect to the User Control Panel and Zulu but not the admin panel. I also got the system admin module thinking that would help but I try to VPN into a user and that doesn’t work either.
Is there any way for me to connect to the admin panel with either the router or the module?
Is SSH access working? If so, in putty (Windows) or on the ssh command line (Linux, Mac) forward local port 80 (if HTTP) or 443 (if HTTPS) to 127.0.0.1:123
(replace 123 with the port you use for admin)
then open your browser to http://127.0.0.1
or https://127.0.0.1
My router has openVPN server running at (192.168.20.0/24) which have a different subnet than the main network (192.168.10.0/24). If I connect to the router from outside, I get IP address within the range of (192.168.20.0/24). If this is the case with you, you need to allow devices on (192.168.20.0/24) to access to the main network (192.168.10.0/24).
