Actually, it's not really a fork, just a patch to the source code. I do apologize for misleading. What it does is clean the firmware of unwanted apps and features. Suitable for agency use.

See what you could do with it.
Things to be aware of
At compile time, it automatically updates the firmware's ca-certificates bundle from the host operating system. This is a good idea. It also installs everything from $HOME/staging into the firmware's root folder. This is where you'd put your pre-built apps. And this is where I run. my Entware, Optware and natively linked apps side-by-side. And since the firmware is squashfs compressed, your pre-built apps is automatically compressed into the firmware image. It fits much.
It has been tested with Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59-beta2 and the RT-AC68U router. It may work with other ARM routers too.

- Full disk encryption (ext4 + LUKS)
- Connect an Arduino Nano via USB up to the router
- Connect an uninterruptible power supply via USB
- Synchronize the router clock with a GPS receiver via USB
- Mount an ISO or UDF image
- Countermeasures for those Internet port scanners (i.e. TARPIT)
