    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.5 Beta is now available

    Upgraded from 3006.102.4 to beta 2 to test the updated System Info page - it's now much more responsive with over 10k connections. I've been running this beta since Sunday and haven't encountered any issues. Thanks, Merlin!

    Tutorial [Script Collection] Asuswrt-Merlin helpers for WireGuard, Dual WAN, USB SSD, and more

    They don't cause any issues with the interpreter, but it seems that some editors don't parse them properly. Yeah, I will probably replace them with simpler characters. Thanks for bringing this up.

    Tutorial [Script Collection] Asuswrt-Merlin helpers for WireGuard, Dual WAN, USB SSD, and more

    UPD: Added a new script to block spoofed traffic from bogon ranges hitting the forwarded ports. I've been seeing a lot of those requests on my server. https://github.com/kuchkovsky/asuswrt-merlin-scripts?tab=readme-ov-file#3-early-drop-of-bogon-traffic-to-exposed-ports

    Maybe these cheap 2.5G switches are not that bad after all. I saw a lot of reviews on Amazon mentioning overheating or connection dropping, so they scared me a bit. Reviews for similar 1G switches were much better.

    Solved guide me on which merlin 3006.102.4 router should i buy - if...

    Yeah, that’s the reason why I decided to upgrade to the RT-BE88U - because of its much better multigig port configuration. Of course, buying a switch was also an option, but good switches with good reviews were pretty expensive (relative to the router’s price), and this setup is bulkier anyway...

    NAT Loopback works for HTTPS but not mail ports (993/587) — ASUS RT-AC68U limitation?

    To exclude possible certificate-related issues, try running this from any LAN device: nc -zv YOUR_PUBLIC_IP 587 nc -zv YOUR_PUBLIC_IP 993 If these commands print "connection refused" or just hang, it means that hairpin is not working. If they succeed, it means there is some other issue, possibly...

    Does AiProtection really work?

    It's not a DNS blocker like AdGuard Home. The app installs a third-party certificate and basically performs a MiTM interception to filter HTTPS traffic in any app, except those that use SSL pinning. Still, it's completely different from what AiProtection does.

    Does AiProtection really work?

    No, those are completely different things. AdGuard is a great app, but it doesn't perform IDS/IPS using signatures. It focuses on HTTP/HTTPS filtering, while AiProtection is more like a network-level antivirus. These two complement each other.

    Winfi 3 Beta available for download

    They are indeed useful. I'm just saying that mobile scanners are niche instruments, not something needed by most people. Usually, you just have to choose the best device for your needs. And that's not always the device that gives you the lowest-level access. There's plenty of stuff that is not...

    Any way to make devices join the IOT network

    Apple devices share network details between them automatically. If your iPhone knows the SSID and password, so do your HomePods.

    Winfi 3 Beta available for download

    Frankly speaking, I can't say that I ever needed a Wi-Fi scanner on a phone, probably like 99% of users, so it's usually not a big deal. I benefit much more from the Apple ecosystem features than I lose due to the absence of things like a Wi-Fi scanner. But yes, they could at least have a...

    NAT Loopback works for HTTPS but not mail ports (993/587) — ASUS RT-AC68U limitation?

    I can't speak for this model specifically, but I tested various ports on the RT-BE88U, and there are no issues. Either the problem is due to a misconfiguration (have you tried using the public IP directly instead of a hostname to exclude DNS-related issues?), or it's a limitation of your model...
