    Looking for feedback from anyone that has gone from Merlin + Scripts to pfSense

    I went full TP-Link Omada on the hardware with 8-port 2.5Gbe PoE switch, another 24-port 1Gbe switch, 3 in-ceiling APs, and 13 Cat6 drops for TVs, office and gaming computers, and PoE cameras. So my Asus hardware isn't needed - it will collect dust for the foreseeable future.

    Looking for feedback from anyone that has gone from Merlin + Scripts to pfSense

    Quick update: Made the jump to OPNsense and it's working great so far. Opted for Protectli FW6D to run it on bare metal. 6 VLANs, VPN Server, Sensei, Suricata, Unbound with Adguard Home. Merlin firmware remains fantastic, but our network needs have outgrown Asus' hardware.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    Dirty upgrade from 386.3_2 to 386.5 I reverted back to 386.3_2 from 386.4 after running into issues reaching certain websites with that update. 386.5 seems to be running well so far.

    Looking for feedback from anyone that has gone from Merlin + Scripts to pfSense

    Although I have really enjoyed the Asus/Merlin setup, I've accepted some of the limitations (i.e. lack of VLAN support, low VPN throughput, poor reception [primarily related to router location]) because I didn't have a strong impetus to change. That will change in the near future.

    Looking for feedback from anyone that has gone from Merlin + Scripts to pfSense

    Thanks for sharing the list of packages. Was somewhat familiar with some (pfBlockerNG, Suricata, but not many of the others).

    Looking for feedback from anyone that has gone from Merlin + Scripts to pfSense

    Thanks for the info. I have exposed services via nginx, so would need the functionality offer by pfBlockerNG or similar.

    Looking for feedback from anyone that has gone from Merlin + Scripts to pfSense

    Longtime Asus and Merlin user. We're closing in on purchasing a home and I'm planning to overhaul our network when we do so. It will certainly be a pricey adventure (still figuring out requirements and hardware, but leaning towards a standalone device for pfSense, 3xPoE APs, along with switches...

    RT-AX3000 crashing every few days in bcmsw_rx (Tried hw/sw reset/rebuilds and even new replacement router)

    386.4 was the first firmware for the RT-AX3000 where I encountered issues with performance. I reverted to 386.3_2.

    DNS-O-Matic Errors

    I will note that I had afraid.org operating without issue on my RT-AX3000 running 386.3_2 before I switched to cloudflare for a newly registered domain.

    DNS-O-Matic Errors

    Haven't been able to get DNS-O-Matic and cloudflare DDNS working on 386.4 or 386.3_2. Instead, I switched to using a docker container for cloudflare DDNS updates. Although I prefer to do it on the router, this method works.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available

    Following dnsmasq log didn't show any obvious issues. But some websites simply were inaccessible and couldn't be reached when on 386.4. Reverted back to 386.3_2 after continuing to run into issues trying to reach websites on 386.4. Websites were immediately reachable after reverting.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available

    Is anyone experiencing DNS resolution issues with 386.4? I've been having some issues getting webpages to load and I don't know if it's related to the update to 386.4, recent snowfall and down equipment (noticed my local IP address changing a lot in the past two days) or perhaps some other...

    cron job for port forwarding

    Would like to setup a script to enable port forwarding on 80/443 during specific times during the day. Is a cron job the best route? How do I setup a cron job for this use case on my RT-AX3000 running 386.4? Thanks for the help.

    Solved DDNS Resolution Problem - Afraid.org

    Thanks for the help. Turns out the registration lapsed for the public domain I was using from afraid.org. I switched to one of Josh's (afraid.org owner) public domains and the problem was resolved.

    Cloudflare inadyn stopped working

    Can you provide an example of your setup in router settings, dnsomatic, and cloudflare? I'm having issues getting mine setup properly. PM if you prefer.
