    Ookla Speedtest cli binary available

    I just found it, it runs smooth on my Ubuntu server. I run it from python, take the json output and send it to my Monitor webapp which stores the data on DB so I can have it historical and see charts. I wanted to run it on my AMD64 OpenWRT router, but am unable to. It doesn't have a native...

    Router to replace pfSense

    Doesn't it support the VPN setting u need? Did u verify if OpenWRT supports it? Maybe u should go to Cisco, Ubiquiti, etc forums ask if they have some model that fit ur needs. Cisco I can say their forum is barren, almost no user posts and no employee ever answer anything.

    Is there anything 1 level above pfSense?

    Tnx for the tip! Indeed, I stopped following AMD when Intel Core arrived and should restart learning about them. This ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus is a very nice board, the 2.5Gbps onboard is awesome and it has a nice pair of x16 for a great price. I guess AMD also has better CPU at 35W TDP, and...

    Is OpenWRT over x86/AMD64 worth it?

    wow I didn't know that!! Well, I was considering using NAT6 since NPTv6 isn't supported by OpenWRT, because both my ISP insist on providing /64 prefix. Now with mwan3 devs suggesting it for multi-homing, I'm gonna follow this path. Anyway, I had decided to test OpenWRT on AMD64... in my vmware...

    Is OpenWRT over x86/AMD64 worth it?

    tnx a lot! What do u mean about mwan? Could u link some article explaining it? What I notice in 2 years using it is that it tries to work with IPv6, has support for it, but all devices receive IPv6 addresses from both global prefix, so they choose the route they want, instead of having the...

    Is there anything 1 level above pfSense?

    Yeah, I was considering doing the same as op. But when I saw the price of managed switches, fiber cable tranceiver and that Intel 11th Gen i3 will be a Comet Lake Refresh and not a Rocket Lake, I decided to step back and wait 2 more years.

    Is OpenWRT over x86/AMD64 worth it?

    Ah got it! its installation involves using dd to write the image to HD then resize2fs to resize it! But then, how do we upgrade it later? Does sysupgrade work? If we dd-write the upgrade too, we'll lose all data on the old partition. I'm gonna look on the SDK later. First I'm gonna install it...

    Is there anything 1 level above pfSense?

    tnx :) Sadly I didn't find either to buy :/ My intention was use RJ45 connector and UTP cable because they are cheaper than fiber and SFP+. Transceiver is expensive, so mixing both connectors isn't worth it either.

    10GbE @ RJ45

    Sorry for the dumb question, what are Adaptive, Store and forward and Cut-Through? They are listed on MercadoLivre inside managed switches.

    Is OpenWRT over x86/AMD64 worth it?

    Why flash the image? can't it be installed on the SSD? And why build it instead of using the available bin?

    Is there anything 1 level above pfSense?

    Indeed. In the past I was using router ports to connect the 2 switches I use on my 2 rooms. I had no speed or lag degradation, but still. I bought a new switch a few months ago and now the secondary switch is connected on the primary one, and it connected on the router. Now the whole LAN is...

    Is OpenWRT over x86/AMD64 worth it?

    I mean, how's its support for drivers, specially motherboard, NIC and USB? Is it possible to install gcc on it and compile softwares that aren't available on opkg?

    10GbE @ RJ45

    I cited T2 because it's almost the same price of T1. But yeah, if I can get a switch that's managed and supports VLAN tagging, with at least 3 10GbE ports (router, NAS, Main) compatible with X550 and 8 1GbE ports (2 ISP, 1 extra PC, 1 eventual laptop, secondary switch, 2 spare), then all I'd...

    Is there anything 1 level above pfSense?

    I use newegg because of its great search system. MercadoLivre's search has very few options and when I search by general text they flood unrelated results. We've always had issues getting access to more advanced technology, and now with pandemic and bigger economic crisis nobody is willing to...

    Is OpenWRT over x86/AMD64 worth it?

    Hello! For my router I'm using OpenWRT on Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X. In last months I've been having issue of its routing crashing. Its bridged LAN ports keep working and I'm able to access its WebUI and SSH, but Internet connectivity goes down. I need to reboot it to get it back. A few days ago...
