    [Youtube] Video from Dave Plummer on online privacy, mainly DNS

    I've been using ControlD Personal DNS service since it was released and became a paying customer shortly afterwards (for more advanced features). It's pretty inexpensive and they're the same guys that created Windscribe VPN (also a great VPN) and are based in Toronto, Canada.

    Suddenly, GUI won't accept long-standing username/password, but SSH does

    I'm not certain Date Keeper would help in this case and might actually make it worse as the clock on the system is getting set back to 1918 and having Date Keeper running and executing the reboot would in theory keep the clock in 1918. When the clock on the router comes up after the reboot it...

    Suddenly, GUI won't accept long-standing username/password, but SSH does

    Double check the date on the router after connecting via SSH by executing date. You'll likely see that the date is in the 1900's (1918). Why this is happening I haven't tracked down but likely some value is overflowing, and the clock gets clobbered. The only way to resolve it is a reboot as...

    Disassociated due to inactivity (4)

    @Wuvarien - Did you ever get this resolved. I'm experiencing this with my Lenovo laptop connected via wifi and I'm RDP'd into a wired Dell Laptop that's connected directly to the router and seeing the same thing happening. I can still access the router from the Lenovo but the RDP connection...

    BE92U Semi Random Issue / Loss of Web UI access / DNS failures / wifi drops

    Yeah, I'm still running into the issue. I performed a reflash which worked as expected this time around. Then reset it back to factory defaults using the reset button on the back of the router. Performed a minimal setup, did not enable TrendMicro, etc. Disabled UPNP, disabled WPS. Nearly 12...

    BE92U Semi Random Issue / Loss of Web UI access / DNS failures / wifi drops

    Yeah, I might end up doing that this weekend.

    BE92U Semi Random Issue / Loss of Web UI access / DNS failures / wifi drops

    Tracked down and resolved one issue with ctrld and dnsmaq colliding on using the same port number. Thought that this might be what was making things go sideways but ran into the clock resetting back to January of 1918 again and not being able to login to the router web UI. This time when I ssh'd...

    Regular monitoring of devices connected to the router:

    You should check out ControlD. You can use it to filter all or some of your DNS traffic whether on your network, friends, other open network, or mobile operator. I've been using it for years and upgraded to the paid version which is worth every penny.

    BE92U Semi Random Issue / Loss of Web UI access / DNS failures / wifi drops

    Hi All, I finally got around to replacing my AC86U which was working nicely but no longer receiving updates and ended up replacing it with the BE92U. I updated the firmware to 3006.102.5 which was a PITA as the firmware upload would just hang and not proceed. Eventually, I got it uploaded using...

    Random disassociated equipments

    Might be related to having the same SSID for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. The other thing I noticed is the ampersand in your SSID which might cause some issues for some devices.

    DNS leak test fail ONLY on wifi devices?

    I assume you've got all your WLAN clients setup under the VPN Director? You might find this article interesting regarding NordVPN and others. https://blog.windscribe.com/the-vpn-relationship-map/

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 Beta is now available

    Apparently I jinxed it - dropped off last evening. Had to disable and enable it again to restore functionality. My wife thought I had blocked her Internet (lol).

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 Beta is now available

    Beta 1 appears to have resolved my constant issues with DNS over TLS on my RT-AC86U!! Usually within an hour of enabling it I'd loose most DNS resolution and have to disable it again. So far 24 hours and no problems. Hopefully it stays working after release. thx ;) - Later that day it broke so I...
