    Network services filter limit?

    Hi there, Am I right here, assuming that this filter in Merlin is unlimited, and we can add any number of rules via iptables? I am speaking particularly about AC68U.

    Adamm firewall - proper config

    I'm hoping for some assistance with the proper config of the Adamm firewall for my specific home setup. I have installed and run for a couple of days and just let it do its default out-of-the-box thing (no other setup than install / run). But after a couple of days it is clear I need to do some...

    Dual WAN configuration and firewall

    Scenario: The router's WAN and USB (Android connection) ports are configured in a load balanced (dual WAN) configuration. Does that mean you should protect the USB0 interface with iptables like you would VLAN2 (WAN port on an RT-AC88U) ? For example: iptables -I INPUT -i VLAN2 -m state...

    Blocking ICMP on WAN

    Numerous guides regarding firewalls state to block ICMP on the WAN interface (Input). However, when i do this internet connection fails. Now my ISP uses a /31 for the point to point connection (FTTP) to us, to which i then have 1x /30 and 1x /28 route-able blocks. so my connection is: 0.0.0.0/0...

    [SOLVED-FOR REAL] rc_service: skip the event: start_firewall.

    This is an issue that cropped up recently and I am at a loss for why it is happening. When the router is restarted (method does not matter) there is something in the syslog "rc_service: skip the event: start_firewall.". Basically the firewall does not start. When this happens I can only access...

    Whitelisted applications

    dropping all-systems.mcast.net from Asuswrt Router

    Hey guys, SO I noticed on my firewall that it seems to be blocking a lot of IGMP requests from my RT-AC87U (AP mode - 380.63_2) to all-systems.mcast.net. I checked the source mac address to confirm that it's the RT-AC87U, although the IP address in use if completely wrong, that's the default IP...

    Network Services Filter: how can I block internet access only at specific times?

    Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I've searched everywhere in this subforum and found nothing (current, at least) that has helped me fix this.
