Skynet installation help

[fotingo]

I have been searching for help on installing Skynet, but I haven't seen the issue I get.
When pressing "2", I get "No compatible ext USB partition found".

Does that mean I need to have a USB connected to the router?
I went to the Github page and couldn't find anything saying it requires a USB.

If a USB is required.. what size and what format is needed?
Can anyone point me in the directions of how to install Skynet with all the steps?

Thanks.

This was recommended to me and has been working well. IMO it’s about as large as you would want and keep memory usage down.

Yes a USB drive is required.

Installation;

All that's required is a USB drive that's at-least 2GB (so there is room for a SWAP file). After downloading it just works.

You have to make sure you have properly formatted the USB as well. The best way is to use AMTM for the initial formatting. Select ext4 for the main partition that you plan to install entware, diversion, skynet, etc on. If you plan to use alot of addons, you also want to pick a minimum of 2gb of swap during the AMTM disk format process.

Thanks guys.. will give a try. Also, does AiProtection need to be enabled in order to use Skynet or are they 2 separate firewalls?

AiProtection and Skynet are not firewalls.

AiProtection mostly does URL-blocking and Skynet is an IP- blocker.

Oh ok... I thought it was.

Firewall Enhancement... to the built-in Asuswrt firewall. The built-in firewall already blocks all unsolicited connections. If you want to block something else - then you use Skynet. If you don't know what you need Skynet for - you perhaps don't need it. If you don't know how to troubleshoot yourself a tool like an IP-blocker - better don't install it. The built-in firewall offers good enough maintenance-free protection for average users.
