Anyone have this problem?

What is the problem, exactly?
You put a screenshot up but nobody knows where it came from (what menu in Luci)?

Try a fresh flash without reserving settings and try again.

5

The menu is Network->Firewall->“Edit VPN_client”.

I check the option “Allow forward to destination zones”, but when i reboot the router, the option return unchecked.

I need this option to reach the peripherals of my network from the outside.

You need to clieck “Save & Apply” after changing

7

I know, but don’t save

Got a reply from the author that it works now.

I’m sorry alzhao, but it doesn’t work.
When I push the button “Save & Apply” in /etc/config/firewall I find these lines of text

config forwarding
	option dest 'lan'
	option src 'VPN_client'

config forwarding
	option dest 'VPN_client'
	option src 'lan'

but when I reboot, I find this lines

config forwarding 'forwarding_vpn1'
option dest 'VPN_client'
option src 'lan'

Why?

You enabled openvpn and choose force. You cannot change this role because the init script tries to reset it. Pls uncheck the force option in openvpn settings.

11

Hi alzhao,
if you mean the button in the picture, it is always disable

12

maybe you can check /usr/bin/setvpnfirewall and add your config in the script. I think the script changed the firewall rule.

13

This is my setvpnfirewall, what should I change?

#!/bin/sh

delete_all_forwarding() {
	i=5
	while [ "$i" -ge 0 ]; do
		uci delete firewall.@forwarding[$i] 2>/dev/null
		i=$(( i-1 ))
	done
	uci commit firewall

}

set_vpn_config() {
	uci set firewall.vpn_zone=zone
	uci set firewall.vpn_zone.name='VPN_client'
	uci set firewall.vpn_zone.input='ACCEPT' 
	uci set firewall.vpn_zone.forward='REJECT'
	uci set firewall.vpn_zone.output='ACCEPT'  
	uci set firewall.vpn_zone.network='VPN_client'
	uci set firewall.vpn_zone.masq='1'             
	uci set firewall.forwarding_vpn1='forwarding' 
	uci set firewall.forwarding_vpn1.dest='VPN_client'
	uci set firewall.forwarding_vpn1.src='lan'         
#	uci set firewall.forwarding_vpn2='forwarding' 
#	uci set firewall.forwarding_vpn2.src='VPN_client'
#	uci set firewall.forwarding_vpn2.dest='lan'
}

if [ "$1" = "--force" ]; then
	delete_all_forwarding
	set_vpn_config
	
elif [ "$1" = "--noforce" ]; then
	delete_all_forwarding
	uci set firewall.forwarding_origin='forwarding'
	uci set firewall.forwarding_origin.src='lan'
	uci set firewall.forwarding_origin.dest='wan'
	uci commit firewall
	set_vpn_config	
elif [ "$1" = "--disable" ]; then
	uci delete firewall.vpn_zone
	delete_all_forwarding
	uci set firewall.forwarding_origin='forwarding'
	uci set firewall.forwarding_origin.src='lan'
	uci set firewall.forwarding_origin.dest='wan'	
else
	echo "Please add options: --force|noforce|disable"
fi

uci commit firewall
/etc/init.d/firewall reload

I think you want to remove lines with vpn1, right? Just comment them

15

@onire77 You should uncomment the three line which is commented on /etc/config/setvpnfirewall.

# uci set firewall.forwarding_vpn2='forwarding'
# uci set firewall.forwarding_vpn2.src='VPN_client'
# uci set firewall.forwarding_vpn2.dest='lan'
16

Perfect! Now works. But why were the lines commented?

17

because it changes your firewall.
