    DOSed by ssh connection attempts. what to do

    I don't expose dropbear, but if I needed to, fwknop or a similar implementation would be my choice.

    DOSed by ssh connection attempts. what to do

    If my math is right, one guess per second with only mixed case alphanumeric would take 6,923,519 years to 8 characters. So on average about half that. Nothing wrong with changing the port though.

    Guest network BSSID

    I appoligize in advance if my search-fu wasn't good enough to find this already answered. I want to create a guest network with a specified BSSID. The default is 00:00:00:00:00:01 for the first, and I assume it simply increments the least significant bit for the rest. I've tried using ifconfig...

    Need help setting up freedns.afraid.org custom DDNS

    I don't know how to fix your issue, but I can tell you how I update afraid.org. I use dnsomatic.com to update both opendns and afraid.org. Then you just need to set up the WAN-DDNS page on your router to use dnsomatic.

    Block Tor network with Asuswrt-Merlin

    I can live with all of that if governments can never turn this world into 1984. Nope, far too many "normal" people use it that they couldn't possibly filter the noise. Even then they just know encrypted stuff happened. Unless, you live in a repressive authoritarian regime you're good.

    Ok, I stand corrected.

    [Preview] 380.57 alpha test builds for all models

    OS X doesn't natively support the ext file system, which is what is required. There might be 3rd party tools, but I can't speak to that. NVRAM holds many many settings, none of which are stored in JFFS. Some one smarter than me, correct me if I'm wrong...

    Block Tor network with Asuswrt-Merlin

    I think you can use this guide on the wiki, https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Using-ipset , and change iptables -I INPUT to OUTPUT. Edit: Please disregard what I said. That would only block access to exit nodes, which no one on your LAN would be connecting to directly.

    [Preview] 380.57 alpha test builds for all models

    I'm in the same boat. What I do is run Linux (any distro should do) in a virtual machine. I think virtualbox is free.

    [Preview] 380.57 alpha test builds for all models

    I've flashed (and factory reset) my new RT-AC88U with 380.57_alpha3 and enabled DNSSec support. In the logs: Dec 4 00:20:21 dnsmasq[1038]: DNSSEC validation enabled As my OpenDNS setup doesn't seem to work, I tried google public DNS...

    Latest firmware has stopped local DNS connections

    I've had the same issue on the AC66U in a mixed network. I'm wondering if it's related to one of these lines in /etc/dnsmasq.conf: dhcp-option=lan,6,208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220,0.0.0.0 dhcp-option=lan,252,"\n" Shouldn't the 0.0.0.0 be 192.168.1.1? Also, a newline character seems odd to me...

    Run TOR in Relay mode?

    I'm running 378.51. I guess newer firmwares come with tor? What I do: opkg install tor edit /opt/etc/tor/torrc to your liking (make sure you add ExitPolicy reject *:* so you won't run an exit relay) chown -R nobody:nobody /opt/var/lib/tor chown -R nobody:nobody /opt/var/log/tor echo "tor" >>...

    using AC68 to connect to hotel wifi

    Just finished a 4000 mile road trip with my RT-AC66U. The responses above, but in hotels with wired connections and a login page, change the MAC address on your laptop to match your router, log in, then plug in the router.

    DDNS afraid.org

    I haven't looked into the new ddns script thing, but I have a similar setup. I use dnsomatic to update my domain at afraid.org.

    Time Warner Cable Native IPV6 DNS issue with Merlin 376.49 on RT-AC56U

    Must be a regional thing. I've had the same /64 from TWC since I first enabled it on the router and after many reboots. I can't speak for TWC's DNS. I've been using dnscrypt on the router for v6 from day 1.

    OpenVPN speed TCP vs UDP

    If you're using tcp over openvpn, you're encapsulating tcp over tcp. That should be worse in nearly every case. What if your inner tcp neads control over timeout or retransmission? Congestion avoidance? That won't make it to the other end of the outer tcp stream. Also the overhead of a tcp...

    Can't connect to OpenVPN Server With IPhone

    You can change the verbosity with the verb option. Add this to your .conf or Custom Configuration at the bottom of the VPN Details tab: verb 4 1 is the least verbose. I'm not sure how high you can go.
