Found a "thing". If the disk label somehow has brackets automatically added to it at some random time post installation, e.g. "RouterHDD(1)" (I didn't change it at any point myself) then the script obviously isn't aware of that and can't find the HDD. Then if I run the firewall script it kicks...

Further to this post: at no point did I enable HTTPS. I have also now upgraded to 384.10 Beta 3 with no immediate ill effects on my RT-AX88U and will keep an eye on it long term.

For some reason, web UI became unresponsive after running 384.10 beta 2 for two days. Even reaching the login page took a long time. I only have the Skynet script loaded and tested temporarily disabling it but it didn't help. Only restarting the router restored WebUI speed. Normal web browsing...

I get the exact same error message as you. Same bad timeout value etc. Anyone know what the error message refers to? It seems to happen after various DNSMASQ events. Sometimes it can go for 3 days without spamming them, other times only a few hours. Feb 25 14:20:05 dnsmasq-dhcp[1158]...

Oh, I thought you had to type in the full range of country abbriviations to be banned every time.

How do you enter that number of country codes into the script? PuTTY limits my character input when I'm at the 'Input Country Abbreviations To Ban' command. I can only type up to "SA".

Dang, why did I have to buy the wrong router? :P Which is the best one to buy now, anyone?

Well there are Proxy blocklists, so it's not impossible to at least weed out quite a number of them. https://www.iblocklist.com/list?list=xafnpguypyaewkmuugbd

They shouldn't be able to get away with using proxies, because the TOS of most proxies is to discontinue service if is is being misused for hacking or even report to authorities. If they are using a proxy in their own country that allows turns a blind eye to such misuse, then... they're gonna be...

Very good, thanks. I wondered if that were the case. Yes, I can't think of any real need to run the script frequently just to change countries.

I uploaded the script to my router, ran it manually, got no errors in the log and .lst files were created. I then added a new country code to the "BLOCKED_COUNTRY_LIST=" part of the script, ran the script manually again and it didn't create the appropriate .lst file of the newly chosen country...

Well, I believe I figured it out eventually. I had an idea that the port I needed open was somehow being "knocked off" by a service on the NAS. Turns out the one I selected was, unbeknownst to me, in the PASV FTP port range. I don't use the FTP server on the NAS, but changing the port seems to...

Unfortunately, restarting my cable modem didn't reproduce the issue. The port was immediately reachable again when the internet connection came back up. I recently came to the realisation that it could somehow be the NAS causing this issue, because I used to run server software from an...

Hi there, I've made a hole in the firewall to open a port for the VPN with this script on firewall-start: #!/bin/sh iptables -I FORWARD -i tun11 -p udp -d 192.168.1.86 --dport 56211 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -i tun11 -p tcp -d 192.168.1.86 --dport 56211 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -I...

Well, not many people were reporting about it; perhaps you're the first to confirm that traditional QoS works on IPv4 and not v6. Personally, I'm grateful for the info, because it may convince me to install the latest firmware on my RT-AC87U.
