Noisy/Squawk script on RT-AC66U-B1

[Prismatique]

Hello everybody

I'm absolute beginner in Linux & scripting.
In actual days of Internet security, Privacy, ISP/DNS data-mining & so on, I discovered what seems like a nice little tool : "Noisy" or "Squawk" Python scripts.

More precisely, it's a "simple Python script that generates random HTTP/DNS traffic noise in the background while you go about your regular web browsing." In this way, your data is no longer unique or useful to advertisers or other data analytic firms.

- Would it be possible to run this script inside Asus-Merlin (On RT-AC66U-B1) ?
- If so, not to much ressources intensive task for that router ?

- Is just creating the script, based on linked page (noisy.py) and putting the file in the "INIT-D" folder enough to do the trick ?

Many thanks for all your enlightements !

No. The router doesn't have python or the init.d file structure. The router is an embedded device not a Linux distribution.

Hello, My bad on the explanation, I know it's not full distro.

I thought It was possible to install "Python", trough "Entware", on Asus-WRT, and run custom script on boot ? Am I wrong ?

(edit) here is a page from AsusWrt Wiki, in which script are launched from an init-d folder..: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Secure-DNS-queries-using-DNSCrypt

I just would like to know if it is coherent to have this kind of Counter-measure script on a Router, and if it is possible. Or if I need to explore the Raspberry way..

Many thanks !

Yes you could install Entware and then install its Python package.

That is one of Entware's directories (so it's dependent on Entware being installed), it's not native to the firmware. Merlin's native firmware uses other scripts for customisation.

No idea. Try it and find out I suppose.

Will probably work as @ColinTaylor said...but Python can be fairly resource hungry and remember the router only has 256M of memory.

Me....I like to keep things simple on the router. Personally, I'd look at running those types of apps elsewhere.

Why not just do DoH or DoT? My AC66U_B1 runs Stubby quite well!
