    Configuration advice when using Bell Pure Fibre

    Hi Asus-Merlin friends. I am currently using ax88u with merlin (388.1) on top of a rogers' coda box (in bridgemode). I love it. I am thinking of switching to Bell Pure fibre hi-speed as I can reduce costs for more speeds. Conversely, Rogers has been pretty stable so this is all about a...

    Skynet Is default firewall good enough?

    1. It may be your ,php list as perhaps skynet cannot handle 2. Hint: keep your list clean, no comments or remarks, just the straight urls. 2. I am not sure if you realize or not but: a. you have a lot of overlapping lists like greensnow from source and greensnow from firehol or...

    Their website says it is updated Monday to Friday. Why not on weekends, who knows.

    Skynet Is default firewall good enough?

    A follow-up: 1. I have upgraded to 7.3.5. It has been running well and I like the country names in the stats. 2. As Firehol is not always up-to-date on their lists, I am using source lists, where possible, to get the data I want. example...

    Skynet Is default firewall good enough?

    @UoFruitE : Although firehol indicates it has updated spamhaus_drop (guess I was bored), there differences. e.g. 26 nets are not in FH list. I am not sure if firehol applies some sort of whitelist in their processing, as this could explain it. Anyway, I will continue to use your lists until...

    [ 388.2 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Seems to me the biggest change is DNSMASQ to 2.88 from 2.85.

    Looks like Firehol has fixed Spamhaus_drop . It has a file date = Wed Jan 4 21:00:02 UTC 2023 Dshield still remains an issue. Have a look: https://iplists.firehol.org/files/spamhaus_drop.netset

    Skynet Latest update break dnsmasq

    I have reinstalled Skynet v. 7.3.4. It is working well and dnsmasq started fine. It did add the following line to /etc/dsnmasq.conf via dnsmasq.conf.add...

    Skynet Latest update break dnsmasq

    Hi - before I reinstall skynet, can someone confirm that 7.3.4 works? Should I now expect ipset whitelist entries in dnsmasq.conf and dnsmasq.conf_add as I never saw any with 7.2.8 (sorry for the dumb question) ? Finally, compared to 7.2.8, I am curious what this fix was meant to improve? (why...

    Skynet Is default firewall good enough?

    Thanks! I did not know how skynet would handle commented texts using the semicolon, as I usually see # being used. So by chance, when/if I reinstall and it breaks dnsmasq again, is it as easy as below to fix: Remove the last couple of lines in dnsmasq.conf.add, that starts with 'ipset', then...

    Skynet Is default firewall good enough?

    That is what I did. I used a conservative approach to only use actively maintained lists. They included (from firehol): bds_atif, dshield, greensnow, cybercrime, dyndns_ponmocup, spamhaus_drop and spamhaus_edrop. I also recently added in the feodo tracker C2 list...

    Skynet Is default firewall good enough?

    Firstly, Happy New Year! With this latest Skynet issue (stupid me upgraded), I lost all connections and did a router reset and restore (probably was due anyway). Due to this and the fact that: 1. I have seen like 1 or 2 blocks (suspect mind you) outbound over the past 6 months 2. The firewall...

    DNS Services

    So I have been playing around with dns dot servers. Some observations: 1. Tried opendns. Does not resolve with dns.opendns.com but does with dns. umbrella.com. 2. Tried cira canadian shield protect. A. Says it supports dnssec validation but some sites, even cira's own does not resolve when...

    DNS Services

    Has anyone used OpenDNS Home with Dns-over-tls ? It supposedly works but as it is not in the UI drop-down list: 1. Is it because it really does not work well with DOT? 2. If is does work, is the server to use for DOT 'dns.umbrella.com' or 'dns.opendns.com'<-- cannot seem to find a straight...
