VPNMON VPNMON-R3 v1.8.2 -Nov 23, 2025- Monitor OpenVPN/Wireguard WAN/Dual-WAN Health & Random Reset Multiple Connections (Available in AMTM!)

[Viktor Jaep]

If I understand correctly to change the ssl connection host I would have to edit vpnmon script.

##-------------------------------------##
## Added by Martinski W. [2024-Oct-05] ##
##-------------------------------------##
readonly PING_HOST_Deflt="8.8.8.8"

From checkwan function()

# Using Google's DNS server as default to test for WAN connectivity over verified SSL Handshake
wandownbreakertrip=0
testssl="$PING_HOST_Deflt"

Maybe a good candidate to make configurable.

It's already configurable, under the settings.

I guess I did not think it would also work for wan check.

Probably should tweak that wording. Thanks! But yeah, it's used for both.

On the subject of Asus router date/time/daylight saving time, I wrote a sanity checker script which attempts to display your router's settings in an easier to understand format

echo "========================================================"
asus_timezone=$(nvram get time_zone)
echo "Daylight Saving Time Zone (Asus): ${asus_timezone}"
dst_enabled=$(nvram get time_zone_dst)
echo "Daylight Saving Time enabled: ${dst_enabled}"
dst_all=$(nvram get time_zone_dstoff)
echo "Daylight Saving Time Change Asus: ${dst_all}"
dst_iana=$(strings /etc/localtime | tail -1)
echo "Daylight Saving Time Change IANA: ${dst_iana}"
echo "========================================================"
dst_Spring=$(echo ${dst_all} | cut -d "," -f 1)
echo "Spring forward: ${dst_Spring}"
dst_Spring_month=$(echo ${dst_Spring} | cut -d "M" -f 2 | cut -d "." -f 1)

Great one! I Just gave it a try and it displayed everything as intended.
The only error I got this time was:

strings: /etc/localtime: No such file or directory

I searched all my router's files and directories and wasn't able to find a file or directory named localtime
In a previous post in this thread while trying another code by you, I got the error:

strings: /rom/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kuwait: No such file or directory

But I was able to find a folder named zoneinfo under /opt/share/ and it eventually worked.
I'm just wondering is it just my old router that has old/deprecated paths?

It appears that Asus adopted the Linux standard sometime after your router. There would be a symbolic link from /etc/localtime to the corresponding file in the IANA timezone directory structure. This is what Linux uses if TZ is not defined.
On my system, /etc/localtime points to /rom/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern. The last text string in the timezone data file is "EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0".
If your system supported this, /etc/localtime would point to a Kuwait or Riyadh file. The last text string in the file would be "AST-3".
You do not have the /rom/usr/share/zoneinfo IANA directory tree but you and I appear to have downloaded one in our Entware tree. In the Entware version of Kuwait and Riyadh, the string at the end is "<+03>-3".
