Router keeps generating its own certificate despite having Let's Encrypt after 3006.102.5 update

It wasn't scribe. You may not believe this I've found a fix that, whilst it doesn't make sense, actually works.
Enable Statistics in Traffic Analyser. Reboot. Disable statistics but don't withdraw your consent.
Hope this works for anyone in need,

I can't actually list any specific problems other than what I experienced myself. I know of other threads where scribe was responsible for other issues, and the general advice around these forums is to just not use it.
You can see my signature, all those addons will run seperately or all together without issue, in my use case.

So far since applying the updates, the issue has not resurfaced, but it still could. I'm thinking one of the add-ons simply needed to be updated to account for 3006.102.5.

That's the weird thing for me. A full reset and rebuild (so all the latest scripts) and the fault was still present. Very hit and miss. It seems Asus need to do a lot of work on their code and sort this out. I'm not seeing any reports of this issue on the official asus firmware - yet.
But then, it's not like we reboot that often.

Yup, you might be right. The issue resurfaced. This is weird. Do Merlin's updates incorporate the latest offical Asuswrt firmware updates? It's odd how this issue only started for me after 3006.102.5 when he is saying he doesn't touch any code pertaining to certificates. Let me know if the issue resurfaces for you after applying the Traffic Analyzer workaround. What prompted you to try that specifically anyway?

In theory the GPLs should contain the latest at the time of release, but I do recall RMerlin mentioning the GPL releases are specifically generated for his use. Nothing guaranteed, especially in those blobs he can't edit or otherwise access.

I was actually trying to identify a lot of traffic occurring when I was in bed. Turns out a Chinese phone I have was regularly phoning home. Needless to say it isn't anymore. So just coincidence.
