    Firewall log location

    I wonder of it would be possible to install failtoban on these routers? I've used it on several Tor servers over the years and it's a great program to help keep the bad guys out.

    Configuring syslog-ng with merlin firmware

    @tomsk Thanks for these posts. They allowed me to understand how to get syslog-ng and logrotate working together.

    AB-Solution 2.0 is out! (v2.0.1)

    It's very easy in a shell. After the installation. SSH into the router, the script is symlinked, so all you have to do to do is sh ab-solution and you're in the shell UI.

    System Log to USB disk

    @joegreat What editor are you using in the quoted post? I'd like to enable this, but with nano all the color codes show up as text. Is there any way to strip these out? Thanks

    My comments are in the quote. Thanks for the great program. I've been able to remove all the browser adblockers on my "stay at home" devices.

    Weird DNS problem (RT-AC68U running 380.59)

    If you have one you might try a reset of the cable modem. I know on c Comcrap that the modem gets confused sometimes and won't issue an IP.

    It wasn't too bad. Amazon replaced the router for free with next day delivery, and I had an older cable modem that works until I get google fiber (soon I hope) I'll bet it wasn't a power surge in Houston that killed the modem. Just the heat and humidity would do it. ;)

    @ thelonelycoder, A storm/power surge took out my cable modem and R7000 during the day Friday. Got new components (thanks Amazon!) and I'm installing from scratch. Do I just run the run the new file without any editing?

    I'll be glad to. It's the least I can do to repay for all the help. And I've always got my 66u to fall back to.
