And a tool like Beszel provides an at-a-glance monitoring solution for a bunch of stuff, including send/receive speeds, accessible through a web UI or Pocketbase web API, email notifications, and blah blah blah. Might be useful in some situations. Has to be installed manually to jffs and started...

Assuming that eth0 is the WAN interface (it is, isn't it?), I am realizing that I can probably also do this via ssh me@router 'cat /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/rx_bytes' ssh me@router 'cat /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/tx_bytes'

I'm wondering if it's possible to retrieve Traffic Monitor throughput data programmatically (MB/s, see screenshot). I can retrieve the data via a series of curl calls, but is there is a simpler way to retrieve it? My current method is ok, I guess, but clunky. Basically, it's as follows: 1...

Cool, will do! Thanks again!

I think I've solved this. In my ddns-start script, I was updating two hostnames on afraid.org. Because I didn't want to hammer the server, I put a "sleep 30" between the two update commands. Removing the sleep command was all it took to get the OpenVPN server and client to start at boot. So I...

Yes, I'm now going through the changes I've made to default settings (not that many, really) to see if I can find a configuration that works. So far no joy.

Right, ok, whoops, so if I put the following in the services-start script, then the server eventually comes online. sleep 20 service restart_vpnserver1 However, as mentioned there aren't any post-reboot ovpn server messages in the syslog until the restart that I manually added to...

Regarding the OpenVPN server that won't start, I've now noticed that when it's hanging in the "Initialinzing the settings of OpenVPN server now" state, I can't even do a "service restart_ovpnserver1". Nothing happens and nothing is logged. I'll edit the original post to reflect this.

Thanks, that's very helpful. I'll play around with your script and see how it goes, but the simplicity of the rule is appealing (so long as there are no unintended downsides).

More info: looking at syslog, I am not seeing any ovpn-server1 messages after boot, until I click on "Apply" Also re: Thanks for that. There’s probably a much better way of doing what I’m trying to do with that rule, but without it, a client of the router’s OpenVPN server can’t ssh into...

Hi all, I'm having a problem with firmware 386.4 on my RT-AX88U. I have set up an OpenVPN server, which works as expected on its own. And I have set up an OpenVPN client, which works as expected on its own. The problem: if I have them both configured, then the server won't start at boot...

(P.S. The router is running 380.59)

I have a setup with two USB drives, which I mount as /tmp/mnt/front and /tmp/mnt/back. /tmp/mnt/front is a time machine drive and /tmp/mnt/back is where my Entware install resides. I use a post-mount script to create the symlink to the Entware install and to start /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung (I...
