VPN Policies Starting from firmware version 3.022, users can define VPN routing policies. For example, it is possible to use VPN for a specific website/IP while maintaining a normal Internet traffic without VPN for others. 7.3.1. Settings Enable VPN Policy: Turn on/off VPN policies. Use VPN for guest network: Turn on/off use VPN for guest network.

Use VPN for all process on the router: Generally, the traffic of all processes running on the router such as GoodCloud will be routed through VPN if there is a connected VPN client (e.g. WireGuard, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks). In this case, these processes will lose Internet if VPN is disconnected. In order to ensure a proper operation of these processes, you can disable this option. As a result, they will not use VPN. Please Choose Policy: The item can be either Domain/IP (e.g. gl-inet.com / 192.168.1.1 / 192.168.1.0/24) or Mac address (24:F0:94:5C:8E:F9). 7.3.2. Add VPN policy You can only configure either Only allow the following use VPN or Do not use VPN for the following. Click the drop box to switch among Only allow the following use VPN and Do not use VPN for the following. To add a policy, enter the domain/IP or Mac address into the box and then click Add. Finally, click Apply to activate the policy. For example, if we want to route only the traffic of netflix.com through VPN, we need to choose Policy Domain/IP, choose Rule Only allow the following use VPN, input netflix.com and click Apply.

However, if we want to route all traffic through VPN except gl-inet.com, we need to add gl-inet.com under Do not use VPN for.

7.3.3. Clear DNS cache If you are using domain-based policy, it may not work unless you clear your DNS cache. Please follow the instructions below to clear your DNS cache. Windows: Press Win + R and run cmd. Execute command ipconfig /flushdns. MacOS: Open Terminal and execute command sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder. Ubuntu: Open Terminal and execute command sudo service network-manager restart. You may also need to clear DNS cache in your browser. Chrome: Visit chrome://net-internals/#dns. Click Clear host cache. Firefox: Open Firefox and press Ctrl + Shift + Delete. Select Time range to Everything and check only Cache. Finally, click Clear Now. 8. APPLICATIONS 8.1. Plug-ins Plug-ins allows you to manage OpenWrt packages. You can install or remove any package. Remember to click Update whenever you access this packages repository.

8.2. Internet Kill Switch Internet Kill Switch feature is built-in from firmware version 3.100, please upgrade. Note: With this option enabled, you need to set up the router as a VPN client for any of the router's clients to be able to connect to the internet. After this setting is on, the router needs to run the VPN client all the time, if the VPN client is not running, the clients are Not Allowed to access the Internet.

Setup 1) Choose "Internet Kill Switch". Choose "Internet Kill Switch" from "VPN". 2) Enable "Internet Kill Switch". Switch on the "Enable" button in the middle of the page.

3) Apply "Internet Kill Switch". Click "Apply" in the upper right corner. 4) Wait for the "Success" notice The “SUCCESS!” Message will pop-up if the Internet Kill Switch turn on correctly.

8.3. File Sharing You can use GL.iNet routers with external storage device such as USB stick, MicroSD card, etc, thus the contents can be shared among all your connected clients. You can easily read or modify its contents. 8.3.1. Router settings The contents of the external storage device are shared to LAN but not WAN and they are unwritable by default. Please click on your router model below to check how to change the file sharing settings of the router. Supported external storage devices

Router Model USB Stick USB Hard Drive MicroSD Card GL-X750(Spitz) √ √ √ Note: The power consumption of USB hard drive is quite high. You should use it with an external power supply. Otherwise, it may cause malfunction. 8.3.2. Access the storage device You can access the contents of the external storage device from your computer or smart phone. Please check the following guidance for the using of file sharing among different operating systems. General Notes You may be able to access the share via \\192.168.8.1\ or smb://192.168.8.1/ or with GL-modelXXX instead of 192.168.8.1 (eg \\GL-AR750S\) in your system's file explorer. Since sharing is enabled to the LAN by default (this includes both wired AND wireless clients) and maps a "bad user" to Guest, then even if they don't supply a username and password or an invalid one, ANYONE connected to your router can access the files in the share in Read-Only mode. If you enable Writable mode this applies to both Guests AND the default root user. If you enable write access, anybody can create or delete files and folders, if you disable write access, not even the root user can delete them via SMB (they can through the CLI though). We can hope that in a future revision there is a simple user management and that a named user (or root) can read and/or write while Guests are limited by the Writable or a Public Write flag on a share (and having multiple shares would be great as well). Windows Method 1: Samba 2.0 (SMB2.0) Support We suggest Samba 2.0 support for Windows 10 users. Due to the security vulunerabilitiy of the Samba1.0 protocol, Samba1.0 is not enabled by default in Window 10. You may modify the router Samba configuration.

1). SSH into your router, you can gain control of both the router and the network that the rotuer is controlling. You can refer to the following link: https://docs.gl- inet.com/en/3/app/ssh/ 2). Modify the Samba configuration file, type the following command: sed -i 's/security = share/security = user/' /etc/samba/smb.conf.template 3). Restart the Samba service, type the following command: /etc/init.d/samba restart

4). Open 'This PC' and type \\your router IP Address, such as \\192.168.8.1. 5). You can view files in your USB flash drive through GL.iNet router now. Method 2: Samba 1.0 (SMB1.0) Support: 1) Your network must be Home/Private. Otherwise you may not be able to see your router in Network.

3.0 firmware supports SMB2, and if you need SMB3, use WinSCP to router, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf.template. Change the "max protocol = SMB2" to "min protocol = SMB1" "max protocol = SMB3", then save and exit WinSCP.

If you are using Windows 10, you also need to enable SMB 1.0. • Windows 7 Go to Control panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center. Find if your active network is Home network. If not, click it and change it to Home network. • Windows 10 Change your network to private by this tutorial. Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Find SMB 1.0/CIFS file sharing support, check all SMB1 related items, click apply and restart your computer.

2) Open a Windows explorer, you can find Network in the folder directory. Double click your router to access its contents. Mac OS Method 1 1) Open Finder, Menu -> Go -> Connect to Server...

2) Input smb://192.168.8.1, you need to change this if your router IP address is not 192.168.8.1

3) Click Connect. 4) Input username and password, they are the same when you login Web Admin Panel. 5) Then Finder will display files of USB disk.

Method 2 1) Go to System Preferences -> Sharing -> File sharing. Click Options and then enable SMB. 2) Open Finder. You should be able to find your router under Shared. iOS You have to use file manage app to access the contents of your external storage device. You may use FE File Explorer: 1) Click + to create a Windows connection.

2) Enter the IP address of your router (192.168.8.1). The User Name is root and the Password is the one that you use to login the web Admin Panel. Finally, click Save.

Linux If you are using Linux you are probably comfortable with connecting to servers, and how to do this can vary greatly from distribution to distribution and largely depends on your window manager/display environment. Most systems come with Gnome and it is the default on the very popular Ubuntu distribution, so we'll give an example using the Files tool (also called Nautilus). If you open the app you should have a "Connect to server" option, there you can enter either the \\servername\share or smb://servername/share format. ChromeOS or ChromiumOS (Neverware CloudReady and others) There is a built in Samba/SMB client in the Files app, but it doesn't really seem to work very well. Instead the most useful ChromeOS app to allow mounting Samba shares even though it doesn't have high ratings is "File System for Windows". It is open source and works far better than the built in version. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/file-system-for- windows/mfhnnfciefdpolbelmfkpmhhmlkehbdf/related?hl=en

Once you have installed the app you can launch it from that page, and if you want to access it again in the future, in the Files app if you go to the 3 dot menu at the top right and "Add new service" you then select "File System for Windows" from the list and it will give you the dialog to fill out with the server name and some other details, but only the server name/IP and share name are required. You can click the gear icon to enable saving the password for a share indefinitely, and you can click the "Keep" button to save the share to easily mount again in the future. Android Most Android devices have file manager which you can use to access the contents of your external storage device. Or you can use ES file explorer: 1) Open the app and then click Network.

You need to change xx5007c.glddns.com to your DDNS url when use nslookup command.

nslookup xx5007c.glddns.com 8.8.8.8 The output above means the DDNS url has maped to a IP address. 4) HTTP Remote Access This function requires a public network IP. If your router is behind NAT, you may need to set up port forward in higher level router. It use port 80. Follow the steps above, to enable HTTP Remote Access. HTTP is not encrypted, use at your own risk.

After you enable HTTP Remote Access, you can access Admin Panel anywhere by your DDNS url of http, e.g. http://xxxxxxx.glddns.com. If you use port forward, you should be access like http://xxxxxxx.glddns.com:YourExternalPort. 5) HTTPS Remote Access This function requires a public network IP. If your router is behind NAT, you may need to set up port forward in higher level router. It use port 443. This function use self-signed certificates, so the browers will indicate that "Your connection is not private". I will show you how to use it anyway on Chrome iOS. Other browers are the similar process.

As show above, click "Processed to xxxxxxx.glddns.com (unsafe)". After you enable HTTPS Remote Access, you can access Admin Panel anywhere by your DDNS url of https, e.g. https://xxxxxxx.glddns.com.
