    How to make dnsmasq startup wait for USB mount?

    Thank you, I think that tells me all I needed to know.

    How to make dnsmasq startup wait for USB mount?

    Yes, there is a /jffs/config/profile.add that creates /home/chris on the USB mount. Ah, yes, I think I see there may be some issues there with race conditions and such, thank you! Presumably the script /jffs/scripts/post-mount only gets run after the USB stick has mounted? Checking for the...

    How to make dnsmasq startup wait for USB mount?

    I run dnsmasq on my DSL-AC68U (running the Gnuton variant) with a large blacklist file that is on a USB memory stick. A recent (fairly short, half a minute or so) power failure seems to have provoked an odd problem with dnsmasq failing to see when the USB mounts after power up, but when I did...

    dnsmasq processes seem to be the wrong way around

    Everything seems to work OK but to me it seems as if the two dnsmasq processes (the 'root' one and the 'nobody' one) are the wrong way round. Running 'top' shows:- 5079 1 nobody S 10080 3.9 0 0.0 dnsmasq --log-async 5080 5079 chris S 9400 3.6 1 0.0 dnsmasq --log-async...

    dnsmasq.add not working but other files in /jffs/configs are working

    That would explain it! :) I thought I had read somewhere that it was the other way around, someone had used dnsmasq.conf.add and it should be dnsmasq.add but obviously not! Thank you.

    dnsmasq.add not working but other files in /jffs/configs are working

    I have three files in /jffs/configs - profile.add, hosts and dnsmasq.add. Both profile.add and hosts are working as expected, but dnsmasq.add doesn't appear to be doing anything. How can I diagnose what's wrong? Is there anything likely to be logged anywhere, or can I increase the level of debug?

    How to set upstream DNS but force clients to use the router for DNS?

    Thank you! Obvious[ish] when you know how but not obvious at first.

    How to set upstream DNS but force clients to use the router for DNS?

    I'm a little confused by the DNS settings in the LAN - DHCP Server section of the GUI configuration. I have set "DNS Server 1" to 1.1.1.1 and "DNS Server 2" to 8.8.4.4 and I have set "Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS" to yes. When clients use DHCP to get their address...

    Running dnsmasq with a huge config file like pihole - possible/sensible?

    I currently run dnsmasq on a server on my LAN with a pihole-like configuration. I.e. I have a huge list of advertising sites to ignore in /etc/dnsmasq.d/dnsmasq.blacklist.txt, The file is just a long list of entries like:- ... ... address=/krer.com/ address=/kreruf.wiki/...

    Does default dnsmasq configuration store LAN names?

    Ah, yes, I misunderstood "...adding a lot of devices as DHCP reservations". That means actual manually entered ones in the router's configuration GUI. I only have 13 of them at present and I suspect some of them may be unnecessary.

    Does default dnsmasq configuration store LAN names?

    I probably don't have "a lot" of devices. What is a lot? I probably have a maximum of 40 or so, it's just "a lot" for my poor little brain to manage! :)

    Does default dnsmasq configuration store LAN names?

    I have recently replaced my old Draytek 2860n router with an Asus DSL AC-68U running Asuswrt-Merlin. Currently DHCP/DNS in the DSL AC-68U is disabled because I run dnsmasq on a separate server. This is because the DHCP/DNS server in the Draytek router didn't store systems' names and I have...

    Entware doesn't get mounted after reboot on DSL-AC68U

    I have installed Entware on both an RT-AC86U (asuswrt-merlin 386.12_4) and a DSL-AC68U (asuswrt-merlin 386.10_0-gnuton1), on the RT-AC86U it's running OK and is still there after a reboot. However on the DSL-AC68U although it installs OK (using AMTM) and runs OK after installation it fails to...

    Port Forwarding and Firewall - not working as I expect

    Yes, yes, of course. However, being a command line junkie I prefer to be 'all ssh'. The ssh pinhole is set up to allow connections from only three specific IP addresses. One of those is a virtual server that is mine so that's unlikely to get unwanted attacks. The second is from a login I...

    Port Forwarding and Firewall - not working as I expect

    Ah, I think I see the problem. I have ssh connection to the DSL-AC68U enabled so when the port forwarding from specific IP addresses fails I get an ssh connection to the DSL-AC68U itself. (I do have a different password, the logins were failing when I put the ssh password for 192.168.1.3)...

    Port Forwarding and Firewall - not working as I expect

    I have just changed my VDSL connection from my old Draytek 2860n to an Asus DSL-AC68U, it was remarkably painless getting the connection up and running. Currently I have DHCP and DNS turned off in the DSL-AC68U because I have a computer on my LAN providing these services. Ultimately I want...

    How to turn **off** remote logging?

    While trying to diagnose some WiFi issues I turned on remote logging on my RT-AC86U, now I want to turn it off again and there doesn't seem to be any explicit way of doing this. If I simply set Remote Log Server empty will this stop remote logging? Where do local logs go? ... and is there...

    IPv4 Firewall/Port-Forwarding - Appear to be the same thing on Asuswrt

    I've read through them but they are fairly beginner oriented (none the worse for that though). My question was specifically because on all other routers I've configured (not just the Draytek Vigor, also some D-Link and others) the port forwarding and firewall are managed entirely separately...

    IPv4 Firewall/Port-Forwarding - Appear to be the same thing on Asuswrt

    Of course! However on my DSL-AC68U it doesn't have any reference to IPv4 there and as much of the rest of the section is all about IPv6 it wasn't immediately clear. OK, thanks. CIDR notation may help a bit for the SMTP port forwarding because my SMTP server receives incoming mail from only one...

    IPv4 Firewall/Port-Forwarding - Appear to be the same thing on Asuswrt

    I'm (fairly) new to Asuswrt-Merlin and I'm a little confused by the 'Firewall' and 'Port Forwarding' configuration. I'm coming from using a Draytek Vigor router where you have to set up both firewall and port-forwarding in IPv4 to get incoming ssh and smtp connections to work. It would appear...
