    Run OpenVPN Client and server at same time?

    That sounds right. These are a couple of posts that I found. One relies on ufw which I don't have anyway, but the concept seems the same: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/openvpn-on-orbi-for-transmission-on-voxel.63688/

    Run OpenVPN Client and server at same time?

    Thank you very much for offering. I'll give it a try in the next few days with the caveat that this is our only router in the house so breaking it would be a problem. I had found a few guides online and none of them suggested using ip route. Is it because openwrt is more barebones? Just wondering

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    I have never done it, but other people here said they used TFTP to restore the router. See https://kb.netgear.com/000059633/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-client and https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Bricked-Orbit-Failed-Firmware-Update/m-p/1559274#M29348

    Run OpenVPN Client and server at same time?

    Hi R. Gerrits, I have a similar wish and maybe I can benefit from the work you've done. I have Voxel on Orbi, but not the Kamoj add-on. I would like to runt he openVPN client, but only route traffic from Transmission through it. All the other traffic should go through the regular internet...

    Bandwidth monitoring on Orbi

    I installed netdata. It looks like I did not have the issues you encountered. opkg install netdata and then manually starting it (I didn't feel like restarting) worked for me. At least for me the default configuration was on port 19999. It's nice to see real time data. Do you know if it can...

    smb.conf from /mnt/sda1/overlay isn't copied at boot

    Thanks R. Gerrits, I did some more tests and I'm still hitting a wall. This is what I did: I verified (as you suggested) that if I go for example to /etc and edit a file it magically appears in /overlay (same path same name). I edited /etc/config/samba/smb.conf I also verified that if I create...

    Bandwidth monitoring on Orbi

    I’m thinking of trying this when I have some spare time: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/vnstat-on-orbi.64200/ I’m not sure how much CPU will vnstat eat, but generating static images with vnstati seems like a good idea

    Thanks, I’ll give this another look

    smb.conf from /mnt/sda1/overlay isn't copied at boot

    Thanks for your replies. Trying to put two and two together here. The samba configuration is copied to /tmp on boot so any edits I make there will be lost after reboot. I get that part. Where would I save my custom smb.conf so that at boot it is automatically copied over the stock file AND Samba...

    Bandwidth monitoring on Orbi

    I made no progress . I found a tool called vnstat and that comes with Entware so I was thinking of playing with that. Nothing actually done though:(

    smb.conf from /mnt/sda1/overlay isn't copied at boot

    I was searching the forums for anyone else having issues with overlay and found this message:Before I install Voxel on Orbi#6 which made me dig more and I found that after a reboot I have "/overlay" (at root level) with a number of files and subdirectories, but not "samba". Any idea why? Do I...

    Vnstat on Orbi

    Has anyone tried running vnstat and generating static output from vnstati on the Orbi? I’ve been hoping Orbi would add this but given the Circle offering I’m guessing this would cannibalize some of that market so I don’t think it’ll ever happen. my need is simple I would like basic stats to be...

    Who's running adblocking on there router?

    I was considering using blacklists (and whitelists) with DNSCrypt, instead I tried NextDNS which was much easier to implement. I created an account on nextdns.io (free), configured a few block lists and then configured it on the Orbi with Stubby. Setup was pretty easy and required copying and...

    smb.conf from /mnt/sda1/overlay isn't copied at boot

    Today I was fiddling with my Orbi configuration running Voxel and wanted to reboot to make sure everything was clean. After reboot all my custom configuration started as expected, i.e. DNSCrypt, but strangely Samba went back to Voxel's default. I am confident I put the files in the right place...

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    Yes I am interested in having Transmission running on Orbi. What might be a better use of your time is to have a quick guide on how a user can add an individual package from Entware, I.e. I read the QuickStart guide and I admit I haven’t tried yet, but what I’m wondering is: can I unpack Entware...

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    you are right, my fix is working for me. I do think it’s a risk to leave guest accounts open AND binding the WAN port and that everyone should think about it twice. If you can think of a more holistic solution that would be great. thank you for the pointer. I actually found the solution to my...

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    I just realized Transmission is not included in the firmware, is that right? Is there a plan to, or is Entware the way?
