    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Good to know about logging out triggering httpd restart. I was shutting down all tabs browsing to my router, but didn't think to explicitly log out. And thanks for taking care of this weird bifrost parsing issue. Now to return to the OP topic - do you have any insight on what awsiot actually...

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Sigh. Merlin, if you're taking requests... could you just make the router do a service restart_httpd after importing a new certificate? I mean, couldn't Asus just assume that would be obviously necessary part of the process? Either you have to ssh and run that manually or wait like half an...

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    So I just tried that, and it fails certificate check and drops down to port 80. So, yeah, looks like I'll have to explicitly add bifrost.home.arpa to my certificate to make that work. And since I had to remake it recently and the process is fresh in my mind, and I'm quite curious if this'll...

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Yeah, I'd think "if no brackets, truncate at colon" should be pretty comprehensive.

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    I had same thought you did after my last post. My local domain is indeed .home.arpa, and trying bifrost.home.arpa:8443 via browser doesn't connect at all.

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Ok thanks. Don't bother yourself too much. The problem is ultimately easily avoidable. Just access GUI via the naked IP, or www.asusrouter.com.

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    I see. Well, I have it set up as "Bifrost" both in the LAN section of the GUI (as I posted a pic of) and in my etc hosts of my linux box where I'm accessing the GUI from. The case issue is the only thing I can come up with for how I could be even theoretically deviating from what you're saying...
  8. Q

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Is it case sensitive? Because "Bifrost" *is* the hostname, at least if you mean what I think you mean. Problem is, if it *is* case sensitive, I've yet to find a way to make my browser *not* change it to lower case, even if set up capitalized in a bookmark.

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Okay! Figured it out! If I access my router GUI via just 192.168.1.1:8443, or via www.asusrouter.com:8443, system status page works fine. It's only if I try to access it via "bifrost:8443" that system status breaks. "bifrost" *should* be translating as just 192.168.1.1, that's what it's set...

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Okay, checking that out has, I think, pointed me in the right direction, but not sure how to fix it. So on my Administration -> System page, near the bottom, I have this setting set: Note where it's repeating the 8443 port where it tells me to access it. I in fact access my page via just...

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Hmm, based on research up to now I woulda preferred Wireguard to work with Tailscale (I don't know a lot about this yet, never actually done it), but it's good to know that'll be an option. As for DDNS, eh, I suppose I could always set up a separate non-router DDNS updater to use with no-ip, or...

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Now I just gotta figure out what to do about this :/ I think first obvious thing to do is to just reboot and see if that fixes it. Which I can do in a bit. Since no one else mentioned it I assume the solution isn't obvious.

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    BUT! Withdrawing ASUS Privacy Notice DID work. Woohoo. Thanks Colin. I'm okay with those features being disabled for now, though I may want to enable WAN access someday through VPN. Does withdrawing from that prevent THAT kind of remote connection? If so, not great permanent solution...

    Tried it. No joy. No change in awsiot errors.

    Two DNS requests to amazonaws every 30 seconds since installing AIMesh

    Sure - but this is interesting. While I was trying to figure out why I couldn't do that account binding crap, that very same parameter came up as the reason for the fails I was getting. That link says the fix for getting account binding working is to ENABLE the tunnel. I didn't actually try...
