I accidentally put all the interfaces on my router running openwrt into the wrong firewall zone so now I can't access it via ssh or the web interface. I already had it configured though and it still works so I'm just ignoring the problem until something breaks
There is nothing more perminant than a temporary solution.
"i'll fix that later"
Narrator: "they never did"
It's super secure though, not even you have access!
I did the same thing, set up OpenWRT perfectly, then changed the local range from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.0.0 to suit some legacy connections. Everything works, except I can't change settings on the router, so for now I leave it alone
Maybe you can put aside a day which has nothing else going on so you can sit down and fix it before it breaks.
Sounds like my Unifi experience with the old CloudKeys that liked to brick themselves if the wind blew in a way they disliked. Everything still ran fine, but I couldn't manage any of it till I factory reset it all. I think it ran like that for 3mo before I could be bothered ๐
