Help with setting blocklists on an AC68U

Thanks.

It's only because I'm not sure if there's something laying about that is affecting downloading PS4 updates. Not just in /JFFS but in perhaps other directories.

Hmm, so I've been noticing recently that these filters don't seem to stick. Is there a reason or something I'm doing wrong?

i can activate both the Malware and Privacy filters no problem. I even initiate the command iptables -L | grep malware and iptables -L | grep privacy which correctly shows the filters are at work and rejecting,

However several hours later I issue the same commands again and it's blank. Doesn't return anything which means, I always need to manually input the commands every several hours which can be frustrating.

Is there a reason it isn't sticking? Could it be because I've got both the script and filters placed on a USB drive? Oh and by the way, this happens regardless of rebooting the router.

Got trend micro active engine active ?? that one is known to reset the firewall

No I don't. Ony have QOS switched on under Adaptive QOS.

So I think I found the cause of why the scripts weren't sticking. It seems each time I change and apply settinga from within the WEBGUI for either 'Ai Protection', 'Adaptive QoS', 'Traffic Analyzer' the scripts are removed. Now the question is, is there anything I can do about this?

dunno, @RMerlin might know that better i dont run any of that

could try and run iptables-save and commit after the script runs but im not sure if ai protection still overides the firewall.

This is all trend Micro stuff......... If you cant find a direct trigger to reload your scripts, its possible that you can tie them to an event that the Trend Micro engine affects indirectly?
Failing that you will just have to rely on regular re-application with a cron job...bit clunky but it will work.
