    XTERM - Did I mess things up?

    Use AMTM to manage Entware packages, then do your own tweaks. I'm just guessing you passed that step.

    News RT-AC68U End of Life Announced by Asus

    I have the RT-AC86U to thank for the introduction to embedded Linux hacking, on an ancient kernel. So I wrote a little poem: Oh my 86U, how many halcyon days have we shared, You started off strong and lifted our little acre into the modern age, But even you, with your robustness and ability to...

    VPNMON POLL: Who is your preferred VPN provider?

    I recently switched from Mullvad as they have discontinued the ability to port forward. I switched to Torguard as it continues to allow port forwarding, and you can purchase anonymously by using merchant gift cards, like CVS, to pay. You can use other forms of payment like crypto, but its hardly...

    Alternative to pfsense/Opnsense

    If it were just so easy.. Would you recommend something like Shorewall or firewalld as good place to begin, for a simple home network?

    NAS questions

    I went with a Synology DS220+, loaded with 2x4TB drives. Works great, running a media server with a docker app.., accessing storage remotely. I am happy with the apps provided on my phone, seems well made. As far as storage, you have to anticipate what you'll need in the future. If you store...

    Compare and contrast Synology 220+ vs 218play vs QNAP TS-233-US

    Just got a 220+ myself, in Synology's Raid 1 config. Great unit, having Docker is really helpful, I run Jellyfin on it. My backup plan is a USB backup disk for critical stuff. Here's some Raid and Backup advice. Op- Yeah so the Media Server on Synology is adequate for a flac streamer, my Naim...

    VPNMON POLL: Who is your preferred VPN provider?

    I use Mullvad, besides being in Sweden, it allows "anonymous" payment through Bitcoin (at a 5% discount). I've been happy with it.

    Security problem

    No, get a handle on you allowing malware on your machine. No firewall out there is going to protect you from the internet if you are the biggest threat to your own network.

    Asuswrt-Merlin is now 10 years old!

    It's nice to see someone carried away by a passion and still have that enthusiasm 10yrs later. Thanks for sharing that with the rest of us, the firmware and the enthusiasm.

    AC86U 2.4ghz lost after factory reset on 386.4

    The 2.4ghz in my vinrtage 2017 AC86U started acting up under 384, but after updating to the 386 codebase it became even more unstable and I turned it off. This does not appear to be related to firmware or even the Broadcom drivers, perhaps excluding the overheating hypothesis you allude to, in...

    ad blocking

    Running Pfblocker on my Pfsense install. Granular control, not in there all the time whitelisting stuff though, not getting too restrictive either. Yeah, ublock origin in the browser too.

    Recommendations for a DIY

    I got a mini pc (Protecli FW2), Celeron based, a couple of TB's of drives lying around that would be connected via usb. Is this enough to get a Truenas NAS going?

    USB/Wireguard speed on TUF AX5400?

    Looks more like 3/4 in this case, sounds like a better deal.: Asus ROG Strix GS-AX5400 vs Asus RT-AX86U.

    Get WiFi signal into garage?

    It would be nice to have a connected smart charge box for your EV, it has WiFi, Bluetooth and an Ethernet port. But it looks like you can at least update the firmware via bluetooth using their Digital Tools phone app. Since you don't have reception down there I wonder if its possible to...
