    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Understood. I can see from various posts on this forum that I am not the only one looking to set up default to VPN, with one or more exceptions to WAN. This feels like a fairly typical use case, and helps avoid leaks from the router to ISP. With the option of having VPN Director allow...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Thanks for this. Is there at present a way to have all traffic including router default to VPN and then to create one or more exceptions to go through WAN? If so, how is this effected?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Is the latter aspect of the above not indicative of a glitch in VPN Director? VPN Director shows the redirecting all traffic, and states WAN rules will have priority, but setting single WAN bypass fails. In any case, it seems reasonable to me that it should be possible to create exceptions in...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Actually just realised that 386_3 might not be handling OpenVPN config options like: route 192.168.8.1 255.255.255.255 net_gateway correctly, with force internet traffic through VPN (yes). The above line should set up a route over LAN. This worked in the previous firmware. But now it does not...

    Question about QoS

    Apologies for the stupid question, but when setting bandwidth to automatic or unlimited, what effect does the various QoS modes have, if any, on traffic? Take, for example, adaptive QoS. If its bandwidth is set to unlimited and it is set to prioritize zoom calls, what does it do, if anything...

    Backing up Router Config

    Yes I meant restore. So I think my script above allows backing up everything to the cloud (router config, JFFS and USB).

    Backing up Router Config

    Thanks. I have updated my example config above. I assume that the NVRAM utility can be used in the reverse way to fully reset the configuration as set out in the GUI? I have updated my example config above. Many thanks! I have updated my example config above. Also gents, I took a look at the...

    Backing up Router Config

    By the way, I understand that something like 'tar -cf save.tar -C /jffs .' gives the equivalent of the GUI jffs save, but what is the equivalent of the GUI configuration settings save?

    Backing up Router Config

    Is that using the amtm NVRAM utility? Is there a difference between this and 'saving configuration file' + 'saving JFFS' in the GUI? Does the utility allow a regular save, e.g. upon reboot or cron job?

    Backing up Router Config

    Just wondering - do most people regularly backup their JFFS / USB config? I created the following simple backup script to upload router config and tarballs of JFFS and the USB mount to OneDrive, which script could in theory be called every boot. But I am dubious that that is necessary? Script...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Agreed (all these people with 1Gbps connections moaning about speeds when many others like me make do with sub 100Mbps on LTE!), but am curious to understand why the lower result in spdMerlin. Mine are all completely consistent.

    Does QoS on vs off change the bandwidth reported by the browser?

    Diversion Diversion gives error when installing youtube adblocking

    I'm very curious about the backstory behind Diversion. How did it come about? Why Asus? I have been to Switzerland once by the way. Lausanne. Truly beautiful.

    Diversion Diversion gives error when installing youtube adblocking

    Ah OK thanks for confirming. The add on works absolutely fantastically otherwise. I didn't realise how many ads are plastered over websites until I tried it. Regarding logging, does Diversion do its own log rotation? I'm trying to determine whether with scribe installed scribe will handle that...

    Diversion Diversion gives error when installing youtube adblocking

    Using amtm Diversion seems to want dnsmasq logging enabled to enable YouTube ad blocking? But why? Doesn't the logging result in enormous files very quickly? Is that log file handled by scribe by default or does it need manually setting up?

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Installed spdMerlin after Diversion on RT-AX86u. Just ssh'ed from windows. Everything seems to work fine - I presume at this point in the installation script it doesn't matter, or? Any way to bypass the: Force Internet traffic over VPN: yes mode?

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Yes, but I need it to work on WAN temporarily just to get AutoBW stuff to work. @Jack Yaz the amtm installation script is slightly broken in that you get an endless loop when it asks you to confirm yes to the licence stuff, and then when you hit no to circumvent endless loop, you get another...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Yes, but this means EVERYTHING including router goes through VPN. This may be fine for your but it breaks spdMerlin. If you want to be paranoid you can install over Entware 'tcpdump' and then issue a 'tcpdump -vnpi eth0' or 'tcpdump -vnpi tun11' and see what is going over the interface(s). And...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Upgraded and so far so good. VPN Director is the new Lynx effect - classifying oneself as such is a great hit with the ladies. Regarding the post above, whilst that rule looks like it should include the router, the router itself is always taken out. I have never understood that properly, but I...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Congratulations RMerlin. And thank you to the beta testers. I would be curious about your backstory RMerlin. What got you into Asus Routers to the present extent? I bought my Asus Router because of your hard work, and I am quite sure the same is true for many others. In fact I'd be curious to...
