    How to block access to a list of domains via schedule from Mon-Fri and 8 to 5?

    How to block access to a list of domains via cron schedule from Mon-Fri and 8 to 5? I have an Asus RT-AC86U with Merlin 386.1, Entware running Diversion and Skynet Currently I do this manually via Firewall UI URL filter, if I could schedule a command to block and unblock a domain list from some...

    Advice on External Storage for running Entware/Swap File

    I agree here, the only reason I got a NVMe was because it was easy for me, I have my OCD with performance so I just spent extra to be certain nothing would hinder it, money wise it wasn't a problem for me.

    Advice on External Storage for running Entware/Swap File

    Then I guess the NVMe adapter + NVMe is not as power hungry? I have never had any issues with my RT-AC86U when booting being unable to mount the external drive, I have been running that NVMe drive in that router for a year now, many reboots, also; I'm in Europe so not sure if power wise that...

    Advice on External Storage for running Entware/Swap File

    To answer your original question then yes, that should be faster than a standard USB drive, but here are some interesting alternatives as well. Since M2 USB adapters are kind of cheap that's what I went for, just make sure that you pick the right one because, M2 adapters for SSD don't work for...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    is there an easy way to remove it from the black list? what do you suggest? to remove it from the black list or to white list it? Edit: White listing it seems to work, since the black list file is so huge, no search functionality in diversion to easily delete a domain, I could just edit it but...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Unfortunately this didn't help, it is not the domain itself, I think it uses some Google services to deal with the property pictures.

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Diversion is blocking the picture navigation from https://www.daft.ie/ which is a site to look for properties to buy/sell/rent in Ireland, false positive? I tested disabling it and it worked again, I prefer to have Diversion enabled and when I want to go there I simply disable it for a short...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Yeah, stupid question from my side, as a software developer I should had look into the source code https://github.com/Adamm00/IPSet_ASUS/blob/master/firewall.sh#L787-L803 :p

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Another question, maybe the answer is obvious: If I have AiProtection disabled and Skynet "Ban AIProtect" enabled, would there be any cron job that would fetch such database or is it an AiProtection job to do this? In other words, can Skynet still use the AiProtection database without...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Deriving few questions from your answer: how important it is to have AiProtection enabled if you are using Skynet? how much weight has AiProtection on Skynet? if I have disabled completely AiProtection is there any point on enabling "Ban AIProtect" option on Skynet? and finally how sufficient...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    I have an Asus RT-86U with spare USB3 M2 SSD so I just put 2GB of SWAP, SWAP size shouldn't really be a problem, you can put 512KB or 2GB swap which Linux won't care, the old Linux rule was to make the SWAP size from 100% to 200% of your RAM depending on how little or much RAM you had, it...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Quick question: I installed today Skynet and Diversion, everything is working OK, should I disable the default router firewall? assuming that Skynet firewall rules covers and does better than the default firewall. RT-AC86U, Merlin firmware v384.15

    RT-AC86U 5GHz issue with 384.7_2

    To give you more data, this is a driver issue, since my PC has dual boot I have both Windows and Linux and Windows can connect to the router's 5GHz, but in Linux I can't when 5GHz is parked at the DFS channels, so we will have to wait until manufactures update their firmwares/drivers to scan DFS...
