    Stay away from this address like the Plague

    This is a mirror, it serves exactly the same content as upstream. You have to trust the upstream to trust the mirror, if there is anything malicious in the upstream then it is also on all the mirrors. If you want to be 100% sure there is nothing malicious in Entware then you will have to...

    Tutorial Collection of scripts for stock firmware

    I never actually made a thread for this, even though it's been in the wild for quite some time: https://github.com/jacklul/asuswrt-scripts This is my collection of scripts for routers running stock firmware to extend functionality. Most of the scripts were made because, well... I needed to...

    Unknown service with TCP port open on the WAN interface of the router

    iptables -L -nv --line-numbers | grep 8083 If you can't see any rule related to this port then you're good, default policy is to BLOCK everything unless ACCEPT rule is present. Sometimes a program listens on all network interfaces (0.0.0.0) but internally filters out packets, only accepting...

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Pi-hole self-generates SSL certificate, the app has option to allow self-signed certificates - make sure that is on.

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    I just downloaded this app and it connected without any issues. Remember that 3rd-party apps should use App password from Settings -> API instead of your main password. Port 5080 is with SSL off, 5443 with SSL on.

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Updated the package with lots of changes from my dev branch. Few dependencies were removed, so after the upgrade some packages will be marked as orphaned. On new installs (pihole.toml missing) some stuff is already pre-configured: - NTP features are disabled - upstreams are set to Cloudflare...

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    As long scripts-startup and entware starts on boot it should work, that's how I run it.

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    That dnsmasq.postconf is checking if /opt/bin/pihole-FTL exists and something is listening on port 5053. If the following returns nothing (or errors out) then this is the reason why it doesn't run. netstat -tulnp | grep -F "127.0.0.1:5053"

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    It runs the postconf but dnsmasq.conf isn't getting modified... try running "dnsmasq.postconf /etc/dnsmasq.conf" manually and see if it modifies the file, or any error show up. If it does modify the file the restart dnsmasq the run "custom-configs.sh run" and look for errors and check if it...

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Maybe your usbmount script isn't starting the scripts? Check if /tmp/scripts_started exists Verify that you see "Started service event monitoring" in syslog since last boot. You should also see multiple log entries related to those scripts, if there is none then they are not being started. Make...

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    You're absolutely right, just looked into source code. Thank you for this! I've update the wiki page with this addition to the postconf script.

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Didn't your script you had in script_usbmount enabled swap ? Did you see something like 'Enabled swap file XXXX' after running 'swap.sh start'? If you did not then it did not enable /tmp/mnt/ENTWARE/swap.img because another swap file is already enabled. Run 'cat /proc/swaps' to see what file...

    2025-09-03 19:09:54.741 ACST [12950M] CRIT: Error in dnsmasq configuration: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Address in use Remember that after changing dnsmasq.postconf you gotta run `service restart_dnsmasq` to apply it. In this case you've set Pi-hole back to listen on port 53...
