    Regularly lose lan connections

    I’m on the latest stable GnutOn fork of Merlin running on an XT7 mesh. It has always worked well and this version also up to this point. But after having tested installing Tailmon (Tailscale) on the router and removing it again, devices keep losing lan connections every 30 minutes or so, for...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-3 public beta for IPv6 DDNS and IPv6 VPN server

    … are Asus betas posted (consistently) on any other forums … ?

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-3 public beta for IPv6 DDNS and IPv6 VPN server

    Wouldnt changing the default connection from «Internet» to the vpn connection do it? Press «play» in top of the vpn connection specification window.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-3 public beta for IPv6 DDNS and IPv6 VPN server

    In other words, firmware that works well with StarLink, HAM radio and preferably also smoke signals. But compared to the world I think RC3-3 is stable as steel reinforced carbon fibre in concrete on a plain in mid-Australia.

    Strange lan ip all of a sudden

    No, I had one vpn config going for certain devices late last year, but disabled it, and besides I don’t remember it being on it’s own (v)lan. Another rogue dhcp in a container on one of the rpis could perhaps have done it, but I haven’t located any. EDIT: I did turn dchp to continuous from...

    Strange lan ip all of a sudden

    I’m on latest RC3-2 firmware as it has been very stable with new functionality I’m also pleased with. It has been very good as long as I set it to auto-restart every night Anyway, all of a sudden lately some devices can not connect to the internet and on further inspection has got an “10.xx…”...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-3 public beta for IPv6 DDNS and IPv6 VPN server

    Yes and no. You don’t *need* to use Asuswrt_merlin firmware but you need to «trick» your Asus router to install Entware and using partitions on an external drive by booting with an especially prepared USB drive in it. You have to be familiar enough with ssh and the commandline to then install...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-3 public beta for IPv6 DDNS and IPv6 VPN server

    Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I’m certainly not out to vent against or harm Asus, rather I think I have seen them respond to some replies/comments, and just wanted to point out how inconsistently. In a way that got attention. Also to be honest about how frustrating it is not knowing whether...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-3 public beta for IPv6 DDNS and IPv6 VPN server

    For the love of all things digital, please, pretty please, somebody at Asus start answering some of the questions in these beta threads! You have chosen to post your betas to a *forum* after all… I myself am confused about the update cycle and when to expect a GM. Also what’s the roadmap...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-2 public beta

    It seems any devices not explicitly selected on any of the vpn or “internet connections” use the “default connection”. Only one of the connections have a “pause” symbol at a time (meaning it’s in “play” mode when it comes to being the default). Questionable UI though.

    tailscale.com - Wireguard

    Old post, but I can comment positively. I was experimenting with the WireGuard server in asuswrt beta RC-2, but it kept taking down my internet after running for a typical day with remote connections. But fast indeed and stable while up. I recently found myself urgently needing to choose a mesh...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-3 public beta for IPv6 DDNS and IPv6 VPN server

    My ISP has a tunnel 6rd setup for ipv6 so I dont know if there’s any benefit in me risking an upgrade to RC3-3 when RC3-2 has been so good to me ? My WAN ipv6 address ends with /30 …. EDIT: … although, after having been remote with a live rc3-2 wireguard server connection for a day, wan...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-2 public beta

    NextDNS has a setting that blocks ways clients might try to bypass NextDNS. These include at least 2 addresses that iCloud Private Relay uses and Apple’s related DOH. But crucially, not just blocking it, as that would make the iPhone hang for a while, but instantly return «0.0.0.0» which makes...

    NextDNS

    I have kids and their friends who are too connected for my taste so everyone is *not* free to decide what they want to (or happen to) see here :) Also their ad-riddled surfing isn’t going to slow me down. I didn’t have those options in my version of pi-hole (which I thought was latest) but it...

    NextDNS

    Well there’s now also DNS products like Cloudflare Warp which, in addition to encrypted DNS queries, makes it a bit harder for ISPs to analyze the following traffic in general. Faster and in lieu of full on VPNs. I usually prefer processing things locally, but apart from my nextdns CLIs local...

    NextDNS

    I thought the DOH was only for their preconfigured Standard or «FamilyShield» DNS and not the free somewhat configurable «OpenDNS Classic» which is what we’re talking about here (newer Home and VIP products are paid services)...

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-2 public beta

    As you plainly see I’m (very) far from an expert on WireGuard or ip networking, but I see what you’re saying, and I would think there would be a “hurdle” there as well since those two tabs seem to be developed and released separately with perhaps separate binaries and environments too (?). I...

    NextDNS

    I only recently went beta, and believe DOT was in my latest stock firmware too. I use DOH via the nextdns cli on a separate device though for client filtering. If you don’t need that (although I read DNS Filter is coming back in asuswrt in a later beta) another benefit with router DOT (vs dns...

    NextDNS

    Yeah, free OpenDNS is a simple unencrypted dns, has no client filtering, and very crude control over blocking. Hasn’t been updated in years either.

    Beta ASUSWRT 386 RC3-2 public beta

    Funny you should ask that. I am the one asking about wireguard on the XD4 two replies up, and was just reading up on site to site wireguard networks. As far as I can see this cant be configured in the wireguard server tab alone, and since it’s also possible to set up an outgoing wireguard...
