    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 Beta is now available

    I saw something similar with a Chromebook and an Android TV after moving to beta2. Going back to beta1 didn't fix it for me. Rebooting the Chromebook fixed it, and deleting and re-adding apps fixed it on the Android TV. I don't think this is a beta issue but something about renewing the connection.

    Scribe Scribe v3.2.2 [2025-Jul-05] - Entware syslog-ng and logrotate installer for Asuswrt-Merlin

    I will fool with it a bit and see if I can recapture what I was doing. It is actually in the kill_logger() part of the helper script. Since I last looked at the helper script, there has been a lot done to it, and there is a lot of startup stuff, including a sleep where syslogd and klogd are...

    Scribe Scribe v3.2.2 [2025-Jul-05] - Entware syslog-ng and logrotate installer for Asuswrt-Merlin

    It isn't a problem that needs fixing. Purely aesthetics. When syslog-ng starts up several hundred messages have already been logged to syslog.tmp. The S01 helper appends those messages to messages, stops syslogd and klogd, and then syslog-ng takes over for new log messages to be filtered to...

    Scribe Scribe v3.2.2 [2025-Jul-05] - Entware syslog-ng and logrotate installer for Asuswrt-Merlin

    I follow. But all the red stuff is wrong, and the lock file messages were fixed before but came out corrupted. Something in logrotate is now spitting out things from syslog-ng, and neither one of those is easy to debug.

    Scribe Scribe v3.2.2 [2025-Jul-05] - Entware syslog-ng and logrotate installer for Asuswrt-Merlin

    Something looks corrupted. I don't think those error messages before the red should be there, and then stuff looks garbled. I would force reinstall scribe.

    Scribe Scribe v3.2.2 [2025-Jul-05] - Entware syslog-ng and logrotate installer for Asuswrt-Merlin

    For a number of years I modified the S01 (doesn't need to be S01) script to do a few things differently on startup: close the messages file. Write syslog up to starting syslog-ng to a new file. read in that new file once to syslog-ng, filtered to a new messages file, with the current timestamp...

    Restart VPN server when it breaks?

    Consider setting up the second server, so you can connect to that and restart the first.

    VPNDirector (VPN sequence)

    You could simplify your rules a bit by grouping devices into smaller subnets, and then doing a rule for the subnet. I suspect you could avoid having to redo your configs by just renaming the config files with ssh. The simplification and control offered by VPN Director are a truly stellar feature.

    StrongSwan IPSec (Entware) - Missing kernel crypto modules

    Not sure what router you are using or what the kernel is--it may be something running in userspace that hurts performance.

    VPNDirector (VPN sequence)

    The rules govern, not the order of the clients. It looks like your rules say, seven devices go over WAN, and everything else to anywhere goes over Dallas. Nothing ever to Toronto. Also, you have two local subnets-xx.xx.50.xx and xx.xx.53.xx?

    Solved WireGuard, What am I missing?

    In simple terms, nothing goes over the wireguard tunnel unless there is a VPN Director rule. Also, IPVanish is pointing you to openvpn instructions, and stock not Merlin.

    Tutorial Change Strongswan ciphersuite and enable MOBIKE to get rid of terrible VPN speeds

    I suspect the speed limits are coming from the high latency of your 5G connection, particularly if it is TCP traffic you are sending through the tunnel.

    amtm Announcing AMTM-OSR, AMTM Orphaned Script Revival repository

    But if I understand it, these scripts are orphaned no more. They are under new management. Pixelserv, now, there's an orphan in every sense.

    amtm Announcing AMTM-OSR, AMTM Orphaned Script Revival repository

    I just have a wee suggestion. Could we refer to this as the "Optional Script Repository"? These aren't orphaned. They were nurtured at a young age and are now matured, more fully open-source. I get that there was a problem with merging contributions, but they weren't abandoned at birth.
