How will Amahi effect my DD-WRT router?
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2017 3:13 pm
I am new to this and a little naive to how Amahi works as a DCHP server, but I currently have this setup.
Local ISP =====> 1st Router (SBG6580) ====>HardWired==> 2nd Wireless Router (Linksys WRT1900AC) w/ DD-WRT firmware ====>Home PC/TV/Phones/Amazon Firestick
Local ISP 24.90.xxx.xxx ====> 1st Router (192.168.0.1) =======> (192.168.0.24) 2nd Router (192.168.1.1) ======>192.168.xxxx.xxx
* 1st Router has DMZ on
* 1st Router has 2nd Router IP address set to static.
* 1st Router has port forwarding rules to 2nd Router
* 2nd Router has USB 2TB NAS attached
* 2nd Router has OpenVPN client configured to use IPVANISH (covering all devices automatically)
* 2nd Router serves up NAS data using Samba3
* 2nd Router runs miniDLNA
I am proposing hard wiring my Amahi Server to the 2nd router and letting Amahi handle DCHP and DNS and using the Amahi server's storage as additional NAS and serving capabilities.
My general question is, does my 2nd router stay as 192.168.1.1 and DCHP/DNS forwarding to (hypothetically) a static Amahi 192.168.2.1, which will assign all IP's and reach BACK through the 2nd router for serving?
Also, is the OpenVPN in Amahi local to the Amahi server or configuring an OpenVPN connection on the connected router (thus messing up my current IPVANISH setup)? Meaning 192.168.1.1:1443 or 192.168.2.1:1443
And if the OpenVPN connection is made to the Amahi server on the farthest put of my network from the ISP , how will it be effected but my IPVANISH on my 2nd router always being on?
Thanks,
Brad
