    VPNMON [BETA] VPNMON-R2 BETA is CLOSED. Thank you all for your help!!

    And another ten minutes after that, reboot. Looks like it's only happening now with the scripts. Let me revert back to the stable v2.22 just to rule out VPNMON. Let's do the basic troubleshooting before I mention it in the Merlin thread, he's super-no-nonsense, I need to have my ducks in a...

    VPNMON [BETA] VPNMON-R2 BETA is CLOSED. Thank you all for your help!!

    Aha, I FORGOT to mention the 'smoking gun'. There is NO log being generated as part of the script. Sorry, should have led with that! I have started it again, let's see what happens. What I meant to say earlier is that I have given up on what state: 2 means because it never seems to change...

    VPNMON [BETA] VPNMON-R2 BETA is CLOSED. Thank you all for your help!!

    Alright, here's an update from me on B3 / AXE16000. As you know, I have been trying really hard to capture the "WAN down" issue via the troubleshooting script, but running it at the same time as B3 effectively resulted in random reboots within minutes of running the two together. In any event...

    [RELEASE] PWRMON v1.2.9 -Feb 7, 2024- Monitor your Tesla Powerwall(s) - Solar - Grid - Home Stats! (New: Weather! SMS/Email Notifications!)

    Happy to help! I WISH I had a Tesla Powerwall! Sorry, it's been a quite couple of days, I have some feedback for the current beta of VPNMON, will share shortly in the beta thread.

    VPNMON VPNMON-R2 v2.52 -Mar 27, 2023- Monitor your VPN connection's Health (Thread locked/closed)

    I really appreciate you doing this just because you can, not sure if there is a huge market for folks with exactly my requirements! So, thank you :) OK, the updated code works with a teensy meensy weensy caveat: The VPN tunnel has to be down or a VPN reset has to take place. If you (re)start...

    VPNMON VPNMON-R2 v2.52 -Mar 27, 2023- Monitor your VPN connection's Health (Thread locked/closed)

    K. I stand corrected. If there is no VPN connection (local IP), then the recommended server list uses proximity as the parameter to fill the VPN slots. So a reset is initiated, and only Tel Aviv servers are populated in all 5 slots (oops). So VPNMON is ignoring the country selection (could...

    Thanks, I have run the script, let's see how it goes. Thank you for adding the time-stamp. That's helpful also.

    No, no, I wish I were that lucky in the Middle East :D One port only. Most other routers may have two interfaces (for example, the USB port could be used as WAN1) but I am not aware of any router in the Asus range that has two physical RJ45 ports for WAN. Correct me if I am wrong. So I...

    VPNMON VPNMON-R2 v2.52 -Mar 27, 2023- Monitor your VPN connection's Health (Thread locked/closed)

    I did update the script to 2.24b2 and you are absolutely right, it populated only the servers from the US which is thoroughly awesome. Honestly, I am a happy camper :) (aside from the WAN issue, which, I am sure you are right, is unique to the AXE16000). I have a feeling it has to do with the...

    VPNMON VPNMON-R2 v2.52 -Mar 27, 2023- Monitor your VPN connection's Health (Thread locked/closed)

    Yayyyy!!!! Wow, that's great! I will definitely try it out. One thing though, the server has to be in the US (at least for me). The app, however, hits whatever is closest in the region (IIRC). Is there a way to force this? I still have the WAN issue occurring once every couple of days (WAN...

    RT-AX88U with GT-AX11000?

    AXE16000 is three bands actually, 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz x 2 & 6 GHz. Not a lot of devices are using 6 GHz at the moment but WiFi 6E works well with my S22 Ultra, I usually connect at 2.4 Gbps (not to be confused with GHz :p ) No issues at all. AX88 is WiFi 6 and limited to 5 GHz though you should be...

    Yes, I could do that, thanks for the tip!

    RT-AX88U with GT-AX11000?

    It's not exactly the same but I run AI Mesh with AXE16000 as the root node and the AX88 covers most of my first floor. The house is built with concrete so the walls are solid and signals can be a problem but it works like a charm, I also have an AC5300 upstairs which covers all my bases, pretty...

    VPNMON VPNMON-R2 v2.52 -Mar 27, 2023- Monitor your VPN connection's Health (Thread locked/closed)

    Quick question for you, VJ? Is it possible to use the Nord API to pull the recommended server only and create a list accordingly? I find that the recommended servers are suitable for watching US-based streaming. Most everything else (even if it's out of thousands of IPs) is blocked, so I...

    VPNMON VPNMON-R2 v2.52 -Mar 27, 2023- Monitor your VPN connection's Health (Thread locked/closed)

    Hellos--OK--so I saw one issue (not sure if it's VPNMON related) which was exactly like before I installed the script. There was no internet. I didn't see any changes in the WAN0 state as per your script above--it has been 2 throughout (though maybe a timestamp would things more certain in...

    No issues for over 12 hours. Keeping my fingers crossed!

    VPNMON VPNMON-R2 v2.52 -Mar 27, 2023- Monitor your VPN connection's Health (Thread locked/closed)

    Naah, I can manage, I still remember some Linux from my wee days (am an IT guy). So I saved the code and left it running in another screen session. How long do you think I should let it run? I guess it's possible the modem is giving a false reading with regard to the WAN session. It's Huawei...

    VPNMON VPNMON-R2 v2.52 -Mar 27, 2023- Monitor your VPN connection's Health (Thread locked/closed)

    Hah, it's an expensive toy for sure and the only advantage, so far, over my trusty old AX88, is the faster VPN speed (not by much--certainly not by $700 much!) I had to reboot my router and keep my fingers crossed and hope the script sticks (see my edit above to post #189). My intuition is...

    Nope! Here's the last command output while the script is active with a tunnel: admin@8118-VPN-Router:/tmp/home/root# nc -w1 8.8.8.8 443 && echo | openssl s_cli ent -connect 8.8.8.8:443 | awk 'handshake && $1 == "Verification" { if ($2=="OK" ) exit; exit 1 } $1 $2 == "SSLhandshake" { handshake...

    Please don't be sorry, you're the one helping me out so thank you! Don't mind running the commands at all. I tried to replicate the scenario by rebooting my fiber modem and it's almost behaving the same way with one exception: The VPN connection came back up once but was killed again by the...
