    YazDHCP YazDHCP floods with dnsmasq errors

    I'd say yes, but only if you want to have the latest fixes & additions that are currently in the 'develop' branch and are not yet merged into the 'master' branch.

    Plans to migrate to OpenSSL 3.0?

    To use the "Preferred" option in the "Advanced Settings" section of the OpenVPN Connect client app, you must have at minimum a 2048-bit RSA key in your OpenVPN Server configuration, which you can do yourself. You don't need to wait for ASUS to upgrade OpenSSL in the router F/W.

    Open VPN App No Longer Working

    The problem is not due to the OpenSSL (or OpenVPN) software. The cause of the error & the solution are spelled out in your screenshot. ---------------------------------------------------- "Error message: you are using insecure hash algorithm in CA signature. Please regenerate CA with other hash...

    Custom cron job

    For such cases where you want to run some task/cmds with a frequency < 60 sec., you can write a shell script in which you set up a while loop that encloses the desired tasks/cmds followed by the interval delay. I have done this before when reading from a FIFO pipe that was set up by another...

    RT-AX3000 Error Message: "Not a Valid IP Address" for local IP - Configuring Firewall Rule

    You have not yet clearly explained how & exactly where you're trying to set up a firewall rule, and your description of the "external IP" & "internal IP" for the NAS is rather confusing. Some screenshots would definitely help to understand your situation. In any case, note that in addition to...

    Allow traffic between specific IP in the Guest WiFi

    The only times I have seen people (usually non-programmers) have issues with "blank lines" is because they have somehow ended up with a text file containing a mix of EOL terminators (i.e. DOS-style "CR+LF" vs Linux-style "LF"), and it happens that a blank line was the first line with the...

    Allow traffic between specific IP in the Guest WiFi

    That must be a typo because using a blank line between lines of code is definitely valid in all Linux shell interpreters that I've used in the last 30 years or so, and the language grammar specification certainly allows it. In fact, all coding standards for shell scripting that I've seen & used...

    Solved Create new client certs with existing CA (on-router)

    No, that's not correct. It appears that we have some misunderstandings here. You asked questions about certificates on a thread talking about OpenVPN client certificates so my answer to you was based on that context. But then, you seem to have jumped to the conclusion that certificates are...

    YazFi hostname and ip address UNKNOWN for all guest network devices

    It looks like you may have a separate scenario, similar symptoms but different root cause, from the OP's problem. If you want to have a chance to get the issue looked at & perhaps resolved, you’ll need to provide more detailed information, along with clear screenshots, to show more context about...

    YazFi YazFi v4.x - continued

    Sorry to say, but I cannot help. I don't subscribe to any commercial VPN providers & I don't have any VPN clients set up on my own router. The only VPN Servers I currently use are from the company I work for & the ones on ASUS routers (mine & those from relatives & friends for maintenance...

    Solved Create new client certs with existing CA (on-router)

    As a critical part of the public key infrastructure (PKI), SSL certificates are used during the authentication process between the OpenVPN server & each OpenVPN client attempting to connect so they can verify to each other that they are who they say they are, whether they are operating as a...

    74 days 23 hour(s) 34 minute(s) 38 seconds

    In the summer of 1999, I was with a dev. group that was tasked with reviewing the C code of about a dozen different network driver versions to make sure they were ready for the Y2K transition. Only 2 routines needed fixing. After talking with some old timers, they said most problems were found...

    Afraid.org DDNS Broken on a few of my routers

    OK, here you go. Attached is the custom shell script file (DDNS_IPcheck.sh - remove the TXT file extension). You have the option to set the value of your own API "Authorization Token" to the existing variable "ddnsTokenStr" in the script itself: ddnsTokenStr="XXX_API_TOKEN_STRING_XXX" Or, you...

    Afraid.org DDNS Broken on a few of my routers

    I have seen similar errors in the past with the FreeDNS update checks for the WAN IP address, so I ended up writing a custom script that gets called from the "/jffs/scripts/ddns-start" script. The custom script sends messages to the system log, and also outputs a separate log file along with an...

    Solved Create new client certs with existing CA (on-router)

    I've never used the built-in EasyRSA v2.0 tool on the router itself so I don't have direct experience with it. However, for about 3 years I have used the EasyRSA3 tool on my Windows PC along with some custom scripts. So while the tool versions are not exactly the same, I'd think that at minimum...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    I'd like to offer you a piece of advice. As always, you can take the advice and adjust it to your own principles & methodologies, or you can choose to ignore it completely. As you develop your s/w projects and add features & new functionality, there is a way to minimize the chances of...

    BACKUPMON BACKUPMON v1.5.10 -Mar 1, 2024- Backup/Restore your Router: JFFS + NVRAM + External USB Drive! (**Thread closed due to age**)

    Yeah, the numbers are in reverse order. The command should be: 30 4 * * * sh /jffs/scripts/backupmon.sh -backup #RunBackupMon# So the change you made to the cru command as described in your previous post is correct.

    Understanding the Log

    As @dave14305 already pointed out, that's a significant discrepancy and, perhaps, it's a possible clue that leads to the specific dnsmasq crash scenario that you're seeing. Would you mind sharing your YazDHCP-generated files: .hostnames, .optionslist, .staticlist? Along with the files, please...
