Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.7 Beta is now available

[dsring]

I had a few issues with the GT-BE19000AI version with this beta. Around 36 to 48 hours after flashing this beta, I lost the wired connections to my Synology NAS and Raspberry Pi. They both showed connected on the GUI dashboard, but they both had to be rebooted to restore their internet connections. Roughly 24 hours later, the Adguard Home instance running on the AI Board quit working. AdGuard Home container showed running normally in Portainer, but I could not connect to the internet through Adguard Home. I rebooted the AI Board and it started working again. There have been several stock firmware revisions released over the last few months for this router, so it could just be an issue with this particular GPL. I have loaded stock firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_40425 to see if I have similar issues before my return window closes.

did you take any special steps to ensure your adguardhome container instance was able to communicate between your local networks? I know asuswrt merlin by default doesn't come preconfigured to ensure your firewall automatically knows to allow your local network talk to your docker adguardhome instance. Also, this may even require you to create additional routing rules. Portainer is good for managing the adguardhome instance and establishing the interfaces, but I am not sure if it always properly manages the routing rules, or the necessary firewall rules given all the times your firewall may restart during normal operations. You may need some kind of hook in firewall-start, service-event, wan-event, and even nat-start to ensure your adguardhome rules are always persistently in the firewall or routing tables. My advice to you is, do not seek help for your dockerized adguardhome instance here inside the asuswrt-merlin beta firmware thread, instead seek help for ensuring you have everything for you adguardhome instance configured properly. I am not saying you don't, I am just saying this is a user configuration, and not something managed by the firmware itself.

Will OpenVPN 2.7.0 be cooked into GA release of this Merlin build?

No. This is a major release, and will require multiple weeks of testing.

I noticed in the change log and this thread " "REMOVED: AiCloud support, due to security reasons.". Anyone aware of what security issue prompted the need to remove AICloud support in this version?

This has been going on for years, with one thing after another. @RMerlin finally cut the cord...

All of them:

[Announcement] Removal of AiCloud from Asuswrt-Merlin

Yet another major security vulnerability being discovered in AiCloud, so I'm done with it. Next Asuswrt-Merlin releases will be removing AiCloud support. Use a VPN, or switch back to stock (and deal with the constant security risks associated with it) if you need remote file access.

Routers without USB like the XT12 do not have AiCloud.

Not sure what you are reporting here since AiCloud is being removed in this release.
