    Diversion Large Blocking File takes just a bit too much RAM

    On my RT-AC68U, if I use Diversion’s large blocking list (instead of the medium list), after a day or so, I cannot rejoin any wifi network, the amount of free RAM having dropped to around 21MB. In contrast, I have run the router literally for years without a problem on the medium blocking...

    Diversion SOLVED - Diversion not working on iPhone, all other devices protected

    I noticed my iPhone was the only device not being protected by Diversion regardless of which browser I was using. Trace Route to a blocked site (Facebook and Twitter) only showed the Pixelserv server address on all other devices (192.168.10.2), but on the iPhone the first hop was to the router...

    Unbound How to flush cache in Unbound Manager?

    Changing OpenVPN Server port number backfires

    To counter opportunistic probes of common ports, for years my SSH port has been at the high end of the Registered port range,1024-49151 (instead of port 22), and I’ve never had a single problem. More recently, and for the same reasons, I moved the OpenVPN Server port from 1194 to a number also...

    RT- AC68U. 384.6 NO USB DEVICE of any description fitted. In the Admin > System section, I disable scripts, and enable jffs format on next boot. Hit Apply, then reboot, after which a new WinSCP session then shows the jffs folder is empty. I reboot again, and then open fresh WinSCP session...

    Problems copying OpenVPN server credentials back

    RT-AC68U. 384.6 I had to wipe the jffs partition (to get rid of dnscrypt), but I copied into Notepad++ all the OpenVPN keys and certs using Edit on the Advanced OpenVPN server page beforehand. I set the EOL Conversion to Unix in Notepad++ and copied the keys and certs back after formatting...

    Just in case anyone else runs into this problem: RT AC68U Windows 10 Ultimate Malwarebytes Premium Today I couldn't access the router's UI (internally, of course) from my laptop (over wifi or Ethernet), but I could ping it via a command prompt. It turned out to be Malwarebytes Premium...

    Asus DDNS has old IP address

    RT-AC68U. 380.68 For years I've never had a single glitch with Asuscomm.com DDNS. But after updating to 380..68 (from 378.55, with factory reset and John's utility) I've had instances where I cannot connect to the OpenVPN server because (the logfile shows) the DDNS address it's trying to...

    OpenVPN Server woes/ intermediate firmware?

    RT-AC68U. 380.68 I got a used RT-AC68U and didn't pay too much attention to the version of the stock firmware on it, except I think it was old, I then updated to the latest Asus stock firmware, and from there to Merlin 380.67 and now 380.68. However, even if I do a factory reset and input no...

    Is there a way to "flush" all the OpenVPN settings and keys back to factory default (so I can start afresh) without having to restore the router itself to factory default?

    Slight hiccup moving Openvpn certs to jffs

    As much for the experience as for need, I followed the wiki on reducing nvram size by moving Openvpn certs to jffs: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/reducing-nvram-for-openvpn-certs It didn't work out, in that the server could not initialize, so I reverted back for a rethink. I'd...

    OpenVPN - basic question

    I'm almost too embarrassed to ask this, I thought I understood it and now I'm not sure. I set up OpenVPN servers on my router many months ago, used a strong username and password, downloaded the openvpn config file and put it on my client iPhone using iTunes. It was almost too easy and it...

    Problems displaying some WebUI settings pages

    I noticed problems displaying some settings pages eg: Using different browsers on devices with various operating systems proved the snag lay with the router. I tried re-flashing .53, then tried reverting back to .51 without success. Knowing my NVRAM was approaching the limit...
