You can set up a server on site A and a client on site B, with VPN director controlling what goes over the tunnel from site B; then a server on site B and a client on site A, with VPN director controlling what goes over the tunnel from site A.

That is actually a very good question. Before the ban, responsible parties were permitted to make changes that did not degrade the performance of the equipment as long as it wasn't covered. With the ban, responsible parties are not permitted to make such changes; that was almost immediately...

Also in the mix: firmware upgrades to previously approved routers are also banned. Monday the FCC issued a waiver of the [firmware upgrade] ban through March 1, 2027. Ed note: Link to FCC public notice PDF

There is still the big exception through the Conditional Approval process, for those that bend the knee.

This is so enormously helpful. I'm in the process of adjusting my settings along these lines. Also, appreciate the precision of how you stated it.

I have wireguard servers set up on two Asus routers (an AX88 and an AX86pro) running Merlin. They are joined site to site, and on each I've generated client configurations for a stable of laptops and travel routers to connect to one or the other. That all works fine, although there are things I...

I can see from the other thread about vlan mapping that some of the newer routers are using eth0 for a LAN port and eth1 or others for WAN. You've fixed it to cover that scenario, but perhaps the ethernet filter should now also include eth0 as a possible LAN port, or maybe just eth. (Or, this...

Three separate things. The ethernet filter is picking up the skynet messages because it is matching to the eth1 in IN=eth1, and it processes the ethernet filter before the skynet filter (it's alphabetical). I don't know why that hasn't been reported before. You might rename the ethernet...

All kudos are so well deserved. I just want to keep alive the memory of @kvic, who started us down this road.

Following this. I can upgrade my fiber home connection from 1G symmetric to 10G symmetric for 20E/month. Call that $300/year. (Doubt I would notice the change.) There is no Asus router discussed here that can do that. Few others. I've correctly been corrected.

Perhaps it is related: I have a log file named "a86U.log". All of the other logs are alphabetic or with "-". All the logs show up in uiScribe, but a86U.log alone does not have a size appended. It is no big thing, but perhaps there is an issue with a log name including numerics? EDIT: Nevermind...

GL-iNet is claiming 1G over OpenVPN and 1.1G over Wireguard for its Beryl 7. The Flint series is less, but more than any Asus router. If you need/can use that speed that is an alternative. Asus needs to kick Broadcom (maybe in both senses).

Some of us are old enough to pick out the Mr. T reference.

Also, I think you can define pushover as a destination within syslog-ng and handle all the notifications from there.

Interesting. Did you try the native Loki() destination and template?
