On my stock device the same crashing issue also happens when script is executed by the crond daemon (but not Entware's cron)

Update released: 2026.04.04-1 Looks like few bugs and security issues were fixed in this one.

Since they are saying USB mount script works for them a script like this could do the trick: #!/bin/sh # /jffs/scripts/firewall-setup.sh if ! iptables -t nat -C PREROUTING -d 114.114.114.114 -p udp --dport 53 -j REDIRECT > /dev/null 2>&1; then iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d...

DNS Server field is the DNS server router's system will use, it's should be set to a reliable one. It is used for time sync, DDNS and few other things. So setting AdGuard's DoT server details in the DoT list is the way. As far as I can tell it works like this: WAN->DoT is disabled, no custom...

There is also this in the stock firmware's source code for my device: The whole 'RTCONFIG_HTTPS' section is largely different in Asuswrt-Merlin - https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/blob/21d30a367f9c0fb36e813b41f2efedee0671fe42/release/src/router/shared/shared.h#L4997

Looks like it was removed from OpenWRT: https://github.com/Entware/entware-packages/commits/master/net/snort Also on suricata7 package - you can check the Makefile to see what those packages contain and how differently they are compiled -...

I've seen people reporting some crashes after v6.5 release, this might be connected. Figuring this out is a bit outside of my expertise but I would appreciate a full crash logs for both of them. Would probably need to be debugged with valgrind and gdb which might not be easy to run with Entware...

Package has been updated! You can read Pi-hole's blog to see what's new: https://pi-hole.net/blog/2026/02/17/pi-hole-ftl-v6-5-web-v6-4-1-and-core-v6-4-released/ Warning: Teleporter backups created prior to this version won't import as I removed patch that rewrote /opt/etc => /etc in the created...

My what? Did you mean to write "You're" there? No issue - I have a daily backup of the whole drive - I'll just get another stick and restore. My current stick still didn't fail even after 84289.22 MB (~150 MB daily) of writes (so far). I've been using the same noname 16G stick since I started...

Most of these views are bots, crawlers and AI's though, that's how internet works these days... My thread got over 33k views just because of it containing popular keyword.

I'm not running Entware on SSD, yet. 😖 Using a random flash drive that I'm surprised lasted this long (Total written: 82776.33 MB). Obviously keeping database in memory will be the best way to keep the Pi-hole fast, feature from that PR will only be useful for people close to out of memory...

Just putting a note here that the mentioned pull request has been merged and changes are now available in the development package, for the brave people.

How did you check it? It would take a while to be picked up as all devices cache DNS responses anyway, you would have to visit a website you didn't visit before to be 100% sure it didn't. Does Tools -> Network list your devices?

Have you confirmed that those two options were actually in dnsmasq.conf after dnsmasq restart / router reboot?
