    Router threw a wobbla - "Top" info in syslog?

    Any idea what happened here? Router UI locked up and when I looked in the syslog (On a remote machine) it was full of weird messages including what looks like the output from a "top" command. A reboot fixed it. 04-Apr 16:53:40 AX rc_service: skip the event: start_amas_wlcconnect. 04-Apr...

    Dnsmasq crashes, watchdog fails to restart it

    Hi there, I have a issue where dnsmasq crashes when my WAN connection goes down (If think this is somehow connected to YazDHCP), but it's not really a problem as the watchdog restarts it after a few seconds. However, I've had a few instances recently when the watchdog has failed to restart the...

    Missing entries in syslog?

    Hi there, I've been investigating dnsmasq crashes when the WAN goes down and I've noticed that not all entries are written to the syslog file on the router. I run a separate syslog server and that receives messages that are not written to the syslog file. Is this any kind of known issue...

    Let's Encrypt to revoke about 2 million certificates

    Saw this on 'The register', does it have any bearing on the Lets Encrypt certificate loaded on the DDNS page of my router? Tried to follow the tech stuff through but it all got a bit beyond me.... https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/26/lets_encrypt_certificates/

    Scheduled reboot different to reboot via UI or 'service reboot' ?

    Is a scheduled reboot some how different to a reboot via other means. e.g. via the UI or 'service reboot' command? I decided to setup the reboot scheduler a few weeks ago, so I've gone through 3 of them now (Early Sunday mornings). On each occasion, there were odd problems that a 'normal'...

    Strange DNS requests.

    Hi there, I posted this question in the "Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 Beta (stage 2) is now available" thread, but I think it got lost in the noise so I'm posting a separate thread. I updated from Stock to B5 yesterday, did a factory reset / initialize all before configuring it by hand. Everything is...
