    Compiling the firmware for RT-AC56U

    Success. The compiler error above happened because I trying to compile the latest unreleased code. Just needed to get the latest stable code and verify the version. git checkout 378.52_2 cat ./release/src-rt-6.x.4708/version.conf Additional packages I needed to install on Debian 7.8 amd64...

    Force LAN port 4 to use the Guest network for Asus/merlin RT-AC68U

    It is not the same VLAN as the Wireless Guest Network. The idea was to isolate devices on the same subnet, when plugged into LAN port#4. The goal is to protect the computers on the network from the unknown intentions of multiple smart TVs and appliances also on the same subnet. Sorry, I am...

    Compiling the firmware for RT-AC56U

    For the ARM toolchain (RT-AC56U & RT-AC68U), I changed the path and got it working: export PATH=$PATH:~/asuswrt-merlin/release/src-rt-6.x.4708/toolchains/hndtools-arm-linux-2.6.36-uclibc-4.5.3/bin I am happy that the ARM cross-compiler is now working. However, after 70 minutes into the build, I...

    Compiling the firmware for RT-AC56U

    I'm trying to compile the firmware for rt-ac56u. However, it says 'arm-brcm-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc' command not found. Is this simply a PATH issue? Or, do I need to build the ARM cross-compiler? My build platform is Debian 7.8, amd64.

    Enabling TOR break local DNS resolution

    My example, which has been simplified, is useful when you have both a list of fixed hosts and a list of dynamically generated hosts that gets appended to /etc/hosts. The DNSCrypt wiki has a wan-start script that overwrites the hosts.add file. Not sure if you are doing anything like that...

    Using Tor + DNSCrypt?

    My understanding is that they created the Tor Browser bundle because it's nearly impossible for the average person to configure Tor + Browser without it leaking data. The average person being someone without IT skills, like a journalist, for instance. It has been said that using Tor is better...

    Using Tor + DNSCrypt?

    You could simply install the Tor Browser bundle on your computer and use that to stay anonymous. As long as you keep your Internet activities within the Tor Browser, all web traffic and DNS lookups are passed to the Tor exit node, keeping you anonymous. The Tor Browser bundle is a customized...

    Enabling TOR break local DNS resolution

    Maybe something is stepping on your /jffs/configs/hosts.add file? Here's a better way to append to /etc/hosts: /jffs/scripts/hosts.postconf #!/bin/sh CONFIG=$1 source /usr/sbin/helper.sh # append the user hosts file to the firmware hosts file APPENDFILE="/jffs/scripts/hosts.user" while read...

    VPN TOR Settings

    Here's how I use Tor and Privoxy together on the router to stay anonymous. OR, you could simply install the Tor Browser Bundle on your computer and be done with it. Tor is a SOCKS5 proxy, listening on port 9050. When configured properly, your web requests will appear to originate from some...

    Running Tor and Privoxy on the router

    If you're running Tor as an Entware service, the version is 0.2.5.10 for Qnapware/Zyxmon/ARMv7. The latest Asuswrt-Merlin firmware has compiled the most recent Tor version 0.2.5.11. It's easy to switch to use the latest. Just modify the Entware startup script for Tor, and remember to switch back...

    Force LAN port 4 to use the Guest network for Asus/merlin RT-AC68U

    I added all my Smart TVs to the guest network since they have no business on my local area network. However, now the MiniDLNA cannot be seen by the Smart TVs. Here's the fix: An extra Ethernet Bridge rule is needed for each Smart TV to discover and access the media server. The MAC address...

    Email server

    xmail works very well as a private E-mail server under Asuswrt-Merlin. I don't use it as an SMTP gateway to the outside world, though, just as a private E-mail server. Configuring it is easy, if you read the documentation. The xmail configuration files get installed here...

    Help routing VPN to LAN Port

    Maybe possible. Try Google this, "iptables acts on routing, while ebtables acts on switching" 1. Use robocfg to reconfigure the VLANs of your router. Example: How to move the Ethernet LAN port#4 from VLAN1 to a new VLAN, named 'VLAN10'. /jffs/scripts/firewall-start robocfg vlan 1 ports...

    Manually force a MiniDLNA rescan

    What is the command line to manually force a MiniDLNA rescan? Got a segmentation fault when I tried this: $ /usr/sbin/minidlna -R Segmentation fault Apparently, the config file option "inotify=yes" is now disabled, as shown in the minidlna.log file: [2014/10/07 20:40:25]...

    Force LAN port 4 to use the Guest network for Asus/merlin RT-AC68U

    Just updating this thread with the working version of my script. I've also had success with using the Virtual Server / Port Forwarding feature, in the Asuswrt-Merlin GUI, to port forward to a computer on my Ethernet/LAN Port#4 Guest Network. To test it locally, you must use a Tor Browser or...

    Force LAN port 4 to use the Guest network for Asus/merlin RT-AC68U

    Since the firewall-start script gets passed the name of the WAN interface, as $1, I put everything in the firewall-start script. Unfortunately I'm not on site to test, but it probably work. /jffs/scripts/firewall-start #!/bin/sh # RT-AC68U force LAN port 4 to use the Internet-only...

    Force LAN port 4 to use the Guest network for Asus/merlin RT-AC68U

    Yes, the vlan2 works. Apparently it's not an interface because it's not listed by 'ifconfig'? I got it from 'robocfg show'. The eth0 works too. Here are the corrected scripts: /jffs/scripts/services-start #!/bin/sh # force LAN port 4 to use the Guest network robocfg vlan 1 ports "1...

    Force LAN port 4 to use the Guest network for Asus/merlin RT-AC68U

    I needed to restrict LAN port#4 for Internet only use, just like the Wireless Guest Network access. Then I plug an 8-port Ethernet switch into LAN port 4 of the RT-AC68U router, to expand the number of Internet-only wired connections. It is for attaching wired network devices that have no...
