    Asus 4G-N16 DDNS

    What I do with my router (and Raspberry Pi) behind a CGNAT (4G mobile) connection is to get the Raspberry Pi to set up an ssh reverse tunnel to a system where I have access and then I can ssh into the Raspberry Pi from outside.

    Telnet 'default' password 4G-N16

    Did you (OP) ever get any farther with this? I.e. did you manage to get past the stage where everything you try just returns "operation failed: Permission denied"? I am at the same place, the only command that works is 'ls' which shows the sort of expected things in / on a Linux system. Even...

    Can port forwarding do failover to an alternative server?

    Yes, I realise it's not built in to a standard Asuswrt-Merlin configuration but I was wondering if anyone has done it or if there's an Entware package that provides anything like this. By the way I should have said in my original question this is on a DSL-AC68U running 386.10_0-gnuton1.

    Can port forwarding do failover to an alternative server?

    I run a postfix SMTP server on one of my home systems that manages my incoming mail. It would be very handy if the port forwarding that sends the incoming SMTP messages to the server could be configured to send them to an alternative server on my LAN if the main mail server is not available for...

    DSL-AC68U - Configuration panels on GUI have disappeared

    I'm running 386.10_0-gnuton1 on a DSL-RT68U router and I've just noticed that when I log in to the GUI there's nothing in the left hand panel to access the configuration! It always used to be there. I can log in on the command line via ssh and do most of what I need but some things are...

    Why do we have cru as well as crontab?

    Why do we have cru in addition to crontab in asuswrt-merlin? Does it offer any additional features or is it just a (slightly) easier to use interface for creating cron jobs?

    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/...
