    The dreaded "All download attempts failed" on amtm first run

    I appreciate your efforts, but it doesn't change the outcome. Edit: Just tried it again and it works now! Many thanks. I'm mystified. The stub failed on first run but now works.

    The dreaded "All download attempts failed" on amtm first run

    It persists in /usr/sbin. admin@RTAX86U:/tmp/home/root# rm -rf /usr/sbin/amtm rm: can't remove '/usr/sbin/amtm': Read-only file system admin@RTAX86U:/tmp/home/root#

    The dreaded "All download attempts failed" on amtm first run

    I see the recommended way to remove amtm is with amtm. But it won't run. Hmm.

    The dreaded "All download attempts failed" on amtm first run

    I added that in there, following one solution suggesting it was a certs issue, from the threads I linked to above. I removed the mount entry and rebooted, but it didn't make any difference.

    Entware "Illegal instruction" running Pip packages after upgrade to 388.1 on RT-AX86U

    Okaay. It was a bad USB after all. The problem didn't show up until I tried reformatting the USB device partitions (Optware, JFFS and Data), which gave I/O read errors. USB Health check didn't detect it, but I wouldn't have expected it to.

    Entware "Illegal instruction" running Pip packages after upgrade to 388.1 on RT-AX86U

    Hello good people, I noticed a jffs script failing (the script failed to run the idstools pip package actually) after upgrade to 388.1 and discovered I'm getting "Illegal instuction" when running any python3-pip package. It's been working for at least the last two years running pip packages...

    Wireguard and NordVPN?

    Yup. The pip package openpyn developer confirms precisely this here and no, it's not changed.

    Is considering creating an anti-malware program for Asuswrt-Merlin firmware

    I think I mostly agree. I love that kind of challenge though. You must admit, the ability to tilt the information asymmetry of the attacker in your favour with anomalous behaviour detection and monitoring is seductive.

    Is considering creating an anti-malware program for Asuswrt-Merlin firmware

    Yep. But chances are you're not running full gigabit (with all of your devices supporting it) on a home network anyway, right? There's always tradeoffs.

    Is considering creating an anti-malware program for Asuswrt-Merlin firmware

    I have previously looked into cross compiling zeek IDS (previously aka bro-ids) for Asuswrt-merlin. It's not an insignificant task but would meet a lot of the functional requirements you mention, in particular: Zeek-ids has a scripting language to enable much of this. This is something...

    How do you protect your home network from online and local threats?

    If you have enough memory available on your router, you could also run the original granddaddy of security monitoring solutions - snort opkg install snort and most importantly, look at the output on a regular basis.

    386.3_2 on RT-AC88U denies access to webGUI and SSH over ethernet, but wireless access works fine

    Just as an update, after a few months usage, indeed the RT-AX86U is superior. Thanks @L&LD. It's the best I've seen yet. BE CAREFUL. I'm not talking about the RT-AX68U. ;)

    386.3_2 on RT-AC88U denies access to webGUI and SSH over ethernet, but wireless access works fine

    Ah yes, I see that now - thank you. I think I must have been looking at the RT-AX68U (with 256MB flash and 512MB RAM). That's very interesting. I already have an old unmanaged switch so I won't miss the extra LAN ports. Choices, choices ...

    Apart from much more memory and twice the number of LAN ports
