Great stuff! Just what the doctor ordered.

Thanks a lot!

interesting. fixed in develop now. good find

Hey Jack,

After this fixed, I run another speedtest with vpn5 off and the errors disappeared.
However, as soon as I turned vpn5 on and run a test, it's throwing me those errors on vpn5 test

Does it happen on repeated tests?

Apparently no, sir

Edit: well, but I tried after you submitted that last commit to dev/null

No worries. The errors are harmless, it's how the db tables are given the new columns (if they weren't created with it). I've suppressed them now

If everything is good, just hide them under the carpet

Thanks Jack.

Thanks Jack.

There's probably a better way to achieve what I'm doing, but this is an OK fix for now IMO

Which VPN provider? Another user had issues until they allowed non-standard SSL traffic in their VPN providers portal, or something to that effect?

I've enabled VPNC1 in v3.6.1 but getting this error:

Code:

spdMerlin: Starting speedtest using auto-selected server for VPNC1 interface

I'm using AirVPN through stunnel if that has any bearing on the issue?
VPNC1 is up and passing traffic:

Code:

tun11     Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

any ideas what to check/try?

i seem to recall an issue with airvpn previously, do they have any configuration their side to restrict types of traffic?

not that I'm aware of, they say "Every protocol is welcome" https://airvpn.org/
I can run the speedtests in a browser on a client machine going through VPNC1

Are you able to ping via the tunnel on the router?

Code:

ping -I tun11 8.8.8.8

Any feature requests for v4? May as well get them in now while I'm working on it

maybe integrating optional AutoBW functionality?
my 600/15 line varies between 600-300/18-3 during the week

my solution was having spdmerlin scheduled runs disabled. and having autoBw generating spdmerlin runs on a schedule (and still getting the spdmerlin graphs)...
a spdmerlin integrated solution, might look at the previous runs and if there is a speed change trend, adjust qos up or down

I'd need @squidbilly 's blessings before I can do that

so would spdmerlin run X times on a schedule, and take that average, or once as it does now and average the previous runs?

Any chance you can add a command line option to generate the CSV file? I might be monitoring a remote site/router for WAN performance/latency. Ideally I can write a script that will email me the CSV file daily (assuming you add this command ;-)

That might already be there with generatecsv

good question! not sure.
i only have my own example (line conditions change hourly during workhours but are stable outside workhours).
i think we'd need more use cases to figure it out.
or it could be configurable?
maybe:
- specify frequency to run spdMerlin: every 30, 60, 120, etc minutes
- specify if and how many recent results to average when checking for qos speeds
- specify how large of difference (%) needed, to trigger a qos speed correction (to avoid constant changes with minor differences)
- specify if each spd run should be single or double (wan)
