    384.17 Addons-Menu

    @Jack - after recently swapping my USB drive for a new one, I was having some performance issues and decided to uninstall all scripts to isolate problem. Upon adding back connmon, NTPMerlin and SPDMerlin I noticed a bunch of odd behavior related to the addon menu. It seems to me that NTPMerlin...

    dhcp_staticlist and dhcp_hostnames utility

    FYI - Realized have to have spaces between / etc / host.dnsmasq when posting or SNBForums say "You've been blocked" :)

    dhcp_staticlist and dhcp_hostnames utility

    @Xentrik Thanks so much for creating this time saver! Just used v.2.0.5 to mostly great success, except i've noted what appears to be an issue which the script or instructions might need to consider (unless i've just missed this convo somewhere...). After successfully loading all of my...

    RT-AC5300 DHCP Limit and Lost Hostnames

    Been paining through migration from RT-AC3100 to RT-AC5300. After several failures restore nvram & jffs settings from original router, I decide to clean install and selectively migrate stuff over. Both old and new devices are on 384.13. Two issues I note after the selective migration: DHCL...

    Open VPN Kill Switch Upon VPN Reconnect

    Update Sep 6 2019 - Things have been working, though I unfortunately am unsure why / what root cause was. So, won't consider it solved until I've got a week of uptime without failure. Update Sep 10 2019 - Nope - it has been more resilient, but it failed this morning with same situation - the...

    [Release] FreshJR Adaptive QOS (Improvements / Custom Rules / and Inner workings)

    Struggling in the last yard here. Installed FreshJR's Adaptive QOS enhancements and x3mRouting with latest Merlin build. Have ovpncli1 selectively routing certain clients through VPN. Added Netflix, Hulu and Amazon IPSET routes to WAN, since I don't want those going through VPN for those...

    Open VPN Kill Switch Upon VPN Reconnect

    After much analysis, which is complicated by fact that the timing of failure was not easy to time (random), I identified that SIGUSR1 process, the following route is lost / not-recreated: iptables --line -t nat -nvL All other route views are identical before and after: Thoughts?

    Open VPN Kill Switch Upon VPN Reconnect

    On closer examination, I think this is key to the SIGUSR1 failure: Though later on there occurs: The SIGTERM sequence is followed by Seems closing the interface doesn't achieve reopening the TUN/TAP device objective which the restart of OpenVPN achieves... Guessing one of the client...

    Open VPN Kill Switch Upon VPN Reconnect

    Okay, I did some log compares of when the tunnel goes down due to keepalive 10 60 issuing a SIGUSR1 versus when it is restart manually triggered producing a SIGTERM. The only difference I see is in where the below ERROR BLOCK occurs: ERROR BLOCK COMMON (1) TO SIGUSR1 and SIGTERM COMMON (2)...

    Open VPN Kill Switch Upon VPN Reconnect

    So a little more testing with the above configuration ("Block routed clients if tunnel goes down" disabled and "Force internet traffic through tunnel" set to Policy. When the networked client looses its connection through the tunnel (e.g. curl ifconfig.me), I can still see the tunnel working...

    Open VPN Kill Switch Upon VPN Reconnect

    Wondering if I even need the "Block routed clients if tunnel goes down" enabled, since setting "Force Internet traffic through tunnel" to Policy (Strict) which appears to block traffic when the connection is down and resumes properly when link is back up. Maybe I am misunderstanding something...

    Open VPN Kill Switch Upon VPN Reconnect

    Unrelated to the kill switch issue, have an OpenVPN related question... Noticing that Adaptive QOS Thanks for this helpful response. As an FYI, I have "Accept DNS Configure=Disabled". With this advice, I will share my test findings and resolution.

    Open VPN Kill Switch Upon VPN Reconnect

    Assumption: Kill Switch will block traffic until such time as OpenVPN connection is re-established. Situation: Have the following configuration for OpenVPN Client on RT_AC3100 with 384.13_0: Connection Retry attempts set to "-1" Force Internet traffic through tunnel set to "Policy Rules"...

    ASUS RT-AC68U "Web History" size < ~5 minutes?

    Thanks for the quick response. Is my experience with "Web History" the norm (yours)? Seems awful wonky to call history for an IP the last 10 minutes of activity. Silly question - is there a GUI view of the Traffic History; or is it file level view only?
