    Isolating home security cameras and providing remote access?

    On that note (security camera software), my preference is for the Windows based BlueIris. Just do a Dual NIC based computer setup and that makes it simple to isolate the cameras from directly reaching out to the internet (they can be on one NIC and switch on a subnet with no gateway defined)...

    Isolating home security cameras and providing remote access?

    Just setup an OpenVPN server connection to your home network, then you can directly access the wired Dahua cameras via their IP address (hopefully fixed/static IP addressing has been applied to each camera). Can't help you with the Wyze cameras, as I've never used those. I assume they have to be...

    Diversion Diversion 5.1.1 - the Router Ad-Blocker, March 02 2024

    Bizarrely, I do see their "Terms of Use" and "Privacy" policy links underneath the email address login area. But I do fully agree that the privacy aspects might be a bit sketchy, some portions of it include the following:

    Diversion Diversion 5.1.1 - the Router Ad-Blocker, March 02 2024

    I was close to replying in similar manner, as that was both my understanding as well as my own experience with the large version of the oisd list: no false positives here (in the admittedly small sample size test of just my own household). Glad to hear that perhaps other factors may have...

    OpenVPN configuration not compatible with OpenVPN Connect 3.4.0

    It sounds like you need to completely reset the OpenVPN connection and generate new certificates: use the "reset to default" button. Then reconfigure from scratch, with new 2048 bit certificate, and ultimately re-export your config file to your devices. A hassle, but probably the only way to...

    amtm amtm 4.4 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, March 10, 2024

    Yeah, I did see the option to re-use the previous Entware installation, but was REALLY trying to do what I could at that point to avoid any router reboots (the whole family was back and reliant on the network by that time, including various IPTV streams running, etc...).

    amtm amtm 4.4 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, March 10, 2024

    Ugh, I got bitten by this bug (all Entware wiped out/non-functional and various scripts needed repair/re-install) when upgrading amtm yesterday, but I had chalked it up to just bad luck. I had also quickly followed it up with a firmware update to 388.6 Beta1, so I wasn't sure which one caused...

    Why do I need a Let's Encrypt certificate?

    Yes, sorry I worded that phrase poorly, I understand that it also is needed for https access to the router configuration pages. That still seems to me to be overkill, as it really should only be accessible from inside my own lan, where if I need to be that concerned about http: vs. https...

    Why do I need a Let's Encrypt certificate?

    Thanks, I guess in my case I have never really needed either one. My DDNS seems to update just fine (OpenDNS) without needing a certificate, so is this only for the Asus DDNS service?

    Why do I need a Let's Encrypt certificate?

    Can someone refresh my memory on why we need the whole Let's Encrypt certificate in the first place? Presumably we only care about this if we insist on enabling https: access to the router and are shutting off simple http: access, right?

    Looking forward to it. A shiny new Diversion to play with will be my most anticipated present of the season. 🥳🎅

    AdGuardHome Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI) cont.

    Ok, thanks for what seemed like a snarky reply, that wasn't really what I was looking for. I know option 1 should do the update, but there seemed to be a few posts roughly a week ago (around Friday, Dec 8th) that indicated they had issues as well with the update, and they implied that they had...

    AdGuardHome Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI) cont.

    Can someone explain the "right" way to do an upgrade/update (if that has been solved with any workarounds), given the issues with many reports of broken installations (.yaml issues, etc)? I tried to do the update on mine today, and even though it didn't seem to have any visible errors, and...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    Ok, this is resolved now. All of your suggestions were close to the right answer, but not exactly....lets just say that they led me to investigate further. The Windows user (that I specifically created a local user account for this share/backup folder) was working fine for a month or so, but...
