    Both Chrony and NTP at the same time?

    On mine it looks like it actually does start ntpd but then exits because chrony is already listening on port 123 30 Jul 00:02:48 ntpd[6805]: Listen and drop on 0 v6wildcard [::]:123 30 Jul 00:02:48 ntpd[6805]: unable to bind to wildcard address 0.0.0.0 - another process may be running - EXITING...

    Winfi 3 Beta available for download

    I just now generated an invite link which will expire in 7 days "WinFi Discord invite expires July 16 2025" If this does not work, then maybe Helge has received more feedback than he needs :)

    Control D DNS and possible DNS-rebind attacks

    I am not a paying customer with an account. I am using one of the free standard profiles which are not configurable. It appears the default blocked query response is NXDOMAIN from /opt/var/log/dnsmasq.log. However, the Control D documentation says that the default response is 0.0.0.0, so I...

    Control D DNS and possible DNS-rebind attacks

    Hmmm, I am not seeing any rebind attack warnings in syslog, even with such warnings enabled on the router

    Skynet What are some good current block lists? - Skynet

    There had been a pattern of blocks with nothing to back them up on alienvault or other sites. I had heard that level3 had been intended for testing only. Now that I read the description, this is not the case. It has some basic malware protection. I will put it back to see how it goes.

    ntpMerlin ntpMerlin compatibility with Merlin 3006.102.3

    If it is just time that you need, then ntpMerlin chrony should be fine. It can be enhanced with a local GPS source. I use the old version of this If you are getting into audio over IP like Ravenna, then I think PTP is a requirement.

    Skynet What are some good current block lists? - Skynet

    The combined ipv4 and ipv6 list from jumpsmm7 is too big to post. Browse it or wget it from router command line. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jumpsmm7/GeneratedAdblock/refs/heads/master/ip.feed wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jumpsmm7/GeneratedAdblock/refs/heads/master/ip.feed If...

    Skynet What are some good current block lists? - Skynet

    I am not following what trouble you are having. Here is my understanding: Skynet can be configured with a malware blacklist The malware blacklist is a URL (in my case https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ViktorJp/Skynet/main/filter.list) The filter.list, which is browsable, is a list of filter...

    Diversion [SOLVED] Diversion and DNS - What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, that was the idea. However, I noticed my Apple devices using DoH to Cloudflare while my DoT was Quad9 after an iOS update. I needed to find the settings and disable DoH on each device.

    Diversion [SOLVED] Diversion and DNS - What am I doing wrong?

    Some client devices nowadays are defaulting to DNS over HTTPS. This would bypass DNS Director.

    AdGuardHome Max rules in AdGuardHome to prevent router freezing?

    For DNS blocking on my RT-AX88U, I am using Diversion in Dnsmasq format. I am using two different big, general, but balanced lists and two NSFW and gambling lists. Diversion is reporting a coalesced list of 1.2 million. I am not experiencing any issues. https://big.oisd.nl/dnsmasq2...

    Possibilities to trigger storage ejection remotely? (a more graceful hard shutdown/reboot)

    In my opinion, attempting to unmount the USB drive causes more harm than it prevents. My approach is to: Use journaled ext4 filesystem of no greater than 8 GB Run fsck on every reboot How to check current settings: # tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep -E "Filesystem features|Maximum mount...
