    [Problem]ADSL Connection Problem with RT-AC87U

    The trouble is with the ancient dhcp protocol, the router does not check for a new IP till half the lease time is up - I assume its lease is long/still valid? Windows and other OSes know this and as soon as they detect problems with the internet they first try asking for a new IP. If your ISP...

    [BETA] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59 Beta 1 is now available

    All files needed to compile are now in git, fingers crossed the firmwares will be there for beta2, along with other improvements learnt from beta1 on the other models.

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    If you do not use ports 80 and 443 you need iptables diverts, your browser will be asking for data on these ports! You need to define a second port for https. I currently have no 'bad' counts pixelserv-tls version: V35.HZ12.Kh compiled: Mar 26 2016 12:16:28 options: 192.168.66.254 -p 80 -p 81...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    Never considered using the WAN IP, but this is an old Linux feature, the router owns all the IP addresses they just get routed via specific interfaces, and accessing the router via WAN IP from the LAN is allowed for "WAN IP local nat loopback". I assign a secondary IP on the LAN interface via...

    [BETA] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.59 Beta 1 is now available

    The tgz is dated 12th April for me, I confirm that this Asus beta GPL is complete in the sense that it compiles 'out of the box', I haven't tested the firmware but have an image that looks correct size:- Creating ASUS RT-N66U firmware to image/RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_380_2695-g1b222cd.trx TRX Image...

    Help with DHCP issue

    APIPA is 169.254.x.x ... I wonder if you can interrogate the problem from a windows command line using the "netsh" command, if it still works with recent versions... http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/manage_windows_network_settings_with_netsh.htm

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    Great, thanks. For my education - I know nothing about pthreads - why do we still use a fork for the reply handler? https://github.com/kvic-z/pixelserv-tls/blob/master/pixelserv.c#L584

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    The ad handling forked process does correctly ignore the USR1 with this line signal(SIGUSR1, SIG_DFL); // default is ignore? https://github.com/kvic-z/pixelserv-tls/blob/master/pixelserv.c#L586 But that is my comment, so I never got round to testing it fully. The cert generation thread...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    The cert generation works until the command line "killall -USR1 pixelserv" (in your case) issued. Looks to me like the code has an old bug in that any child process active at the time also gets killed, but they are transient so easy to miss (I originally put the USR1 stuff in, so my bug!). I...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    Bug report: pixelserv-tls has stopped generated certs for new ad domains. The second task that handles this is no longer running. Checking back through the log I think I know why - I have a reconnect script that pokes pixelserv to put the stats into the log. Without looking at the code I...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    There was a report of a pixelserv fork that fed all the info into a remote mysql database - I never saw any sourcecode though. You do get interesting info on blocked https sites on cert creation, without full syslog - I currently have 40 certificates in the cache! These are my stats after...

    ntp update never succeeds

    John's fork at least has a tick box in web gui to "log NTP updates", default is updates every hour.

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    Thanks I didn't use the method to access, can already export/import via Google chrome advanced settings or IE settings - but it now works - I think the key step was to import the certificate into both root and intermediate as detailed in your link, had previously also tried personal and auto...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    Using mips Entware version on N66 it is 2 main threads consecutive PID the cert generation runs as admin, the old main as unprivileged 'nobody'. Have tried built-in easyrsa and openvpn/easyRSA-3.0.1 on router, latter needed the mktemp package as above. So far have only managed to get Firefox...

    ublockr - a minimalists approach to adblocking

    Originally the 1x1 transparent pixel allowed browsers to not show broken image symbol and collapse holes in web pages, but actually very few null pixels served these days, because ads are not simple images - and dumb Internet Explorer often used to try to execute the gif binary as a script if it...

    pixelserv pixelserv - A Better One-pixel Webserver for Adblock

    Hopefully the number of pixleserv processes does drop back to one... BTDTGTTS. Real web servers normally have a fixed number of threads and farm out requests between them avoiding the overhead of the OS creating and killing processing (without leaving zombies) you also notice the PID of new...
