If this is the same report on Github, you mention AdguardHome there. Does DNS work on the router?

It's looking ok to me, using itself to resolve.

What is suspect is the fact that it fails to create the `profile.add` file.

 

[dave14305]

Is your /jffs healthy? The profile.add is the least of the problems compared to the missing ipsets and iptables rules.

df /jffs
ls -l /jffs/configs/ /jffs/scripts/

This happened to me as well 2 days ago. Setting up new BE92U h/w v6.0 Merlin 3006.102.7 beta_2 from scratch. I can't remember the steps I took to get it working in the flurry of setting it up. I remember doing a restart via amtm but didn't have to uninstall/reinstall the product. I do remember being alarmed by it because I set it up then went to bed. Checking in the morning to find missing IPset/rules scared me a bit. But it's working now. Don't use AdGuard but do use ControlD daemon. It's working fine now.

The partition is looking healthy.
Not sure about the configs if I need any.

When I delete skynet it complains about a couple files not existing.

Deleting Skynet Files
sed: /jffs/configs/profile.add: No such file or directory
sed: /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add: No such file or directory

I wonder if I don't have something enabled on the router.

Do you know roughly what you did?

If you add the profile.add entry, does it stay, or is the router asd process deleting it?

echo "alias firewall=\"sh /jffs/scripts/firewall\" # Skynet" >> /jffs/configs/profile.add

Do you see anything helpful when you restart skynet?

/jffs/scripts/firewall restart

Check out the above. Looks like some files are missing.

No I do not see anything out of the ordinary when I run that command to add the profile and still fails to start.
Still fails on a few things doing that.
