netstat and lsof are available through Entware-ng

If things are critical ... why don't you raise a porting request for mwan which is available in LEDE with Entware-Ng team or post on Adze openwrt thread for a port to merlin ?

This is the most useful and easiest tool I have come across after moving to merlin. Save and Restore...and save a ton of time and frustration. I assume @john9527 would not mind, if users take initiative in starting/updating a user/installation guide with installation steps, experience, faq etc.,

AFAIK Restarting pppd will restart pppoe, dnsmasq (dhcp) and wan. As for the VPN protocols i.e., pptp etc., i assume if the VPN is configured to be ON, it should restart auto after a ppp/wan restart/change.

perhaps instead of rebooting the router, things may workout with just restarting pppd or restarting wan # For wan0 link, modify for dual wan if (cat /var/run/ppp0.pid) then logger "wan0 already running..." killall pppd #or just kill the pid of cat cmd fi logger "Starting wan0..."...

Adding a $USER to cron.allow and the soft link are elegant. @Odkrys Try this approach. Do a test after configuration with @kvic's suggested steps to see if crontab is working for $USER. I have included a quick fix for you, uptake the file and in the .ipBLOCKer.config file add the below...

@bayern1975 in your case you would need to replace the USBDIR in the above command with sda1 i.e., cru d ipBLOCKer-synch cru a ipBLOCKer-synch "*/30 * * * * . /tmp/mnt/sda1/ipBLOCKer/.ipBLOCKer.config; /tmp/mnt/sda1/ipBLOCKer/ipBLOCKer.sh synch"

Have you tried as suggested in the Guide Check the name of super user on your system. If it's other then root, please fix it at /opt/etc/crontab. As an example, asuswrt(-merlin) uses admin: sed -i 's/root/admin/g' /opt/etc/crontab NOTE: Since entware has the vixie's version and as @...

you can use cru cru a ipBLOCKer-synch "30 * * * * . /tmp/mnt/USBDIR/ipBLOCKer/.ipBLOCKer.config; /tmp/mnt/USBDIR/ipBLOCKer/ipBLOCKer.sh synch"

Are you on 1.0 or 1.1 ? You have given me very little information from which to work with, I can derive the below: 1. ipBLOCKer starts and see’s that firewall has restarted and restores firewall from saved state. I do not know from your posted output whether the router has restarted too and...

The user has some USB issue (i think from his posts) after the router is restarted, files seem to be present on the USB but file content is inconsistent across boots. FYI ipBLOCKer.sh setup will start the Setup Menu and wait for user to select or change system configuration. ipBLOCKer.sh...

Too bad, tested and working for all the situations router restart => block synch_all (all saved state restored) firewall restart => system automatically detects restores when invoked As I have requested you before, as none of the blocking solutions seem to work for you, start a new thread...

Go through the upgrade instructions and do backup your system. It addresses your router restart issue specifically. After you restart your router assuming you have not uninstalled anything and have saved files in the refresh folder go to ipBLOCKer and use the option synch_all

ipBLOCKer Version 1.1 available now. See Post #1 & Post #2 for Changelog and Upgrade Instructions

Perhaps we can include a menu option with credits to Martineau.
