    How/when is ntp supposed to trigger/run (ntp_ready=1)

    I've been getting error recently (from Skynet) about NTP failing to start. I don't see any ntp type process running in a ps output and after confirming `ntp_ready=1` on my box after boot, it seems to revert to `ntp_ready=0` after some time. Can someone delineate how and when the box should be...

    Setting up as stand-alone OpenVPN server (AP mode)

    Ok - so just reporting that this seems to work. I haven't placed it in the target environment yet, but tested in my own. This is on an old RT-N66W using the last supported 380.x fw: - Configured WAN in Static IP and set it to an available LAN address in my internal network. - Forwarded port...

    Setting up as stand-alone OpenVPN server (AP mode)

    So Thanks, so I would want to keep the WAN connection set to "Enable Wan" and set a Static IP that is an IP on the local network. Then simply forward 1194 (or whatever I set the OVPN server to) from the main router to the Merlin and it should then be able to accept the incoming connections and...

    Setting up as stand-alone OpenVPN server (AP mode)

    I've got an older Merlin capable ASUS I would like to use at my father's house as a VPN server. He currently has a router from Verizon as well as an AmpliFi HD device setup and I am not looking to modify his main boxes at this point if I can help it. I would like to repurpose this extra Merlin...

    Network Map "Client List" moving elsewhere due to low NVRAM

    No worries. You wouldn't be the first to confuse them, which is why I posted this thread - due to all the conflicting info likely due to misunderstanding intent. Hopefully others looking for a conclusive answer for now will find this thread.

    Network Map "Client List" moving elsewhere due to low NVRAM

    I didn't try host names because a host entry only correlates name/ip, has nothing to do with mac address, and I assumed that mac address was important to this list. I just tried it by creating a host record for one entry based on IP. Restarted dnsmasq and verified host record works...

    Network Map "Client List" moving elsewhere due to low NVRAM

    Thanks Colin. I think I quoted you above where you seemed to indicate what I want to do is not possible, but that seemed contradicted by someone just a couple of posts below who claimed to have done it. Were they mistaken too? To the best of your knowledge, is the case still that "Client...

    Network Map "Client List" moving elsewhere due to low NVRAM

    So do you know what it is doing under the hood? (if not I'll go post in that thread...), But that format looks like a normal dhcp-host format that gets added into dnsmasq.conf. I have tried adding manual entries like that into my dnsmasq.conf (via startup scripts) and it does not appear to...

    Network Map "Client List" moving elsewhere due to low NVRAM

    You sure you are meaning the Client Names in the Network Map screen? Seems that tool is meant for moving DHCP client reservations. Have you used it to do this task? I'll post over in that thread for specifics, bit it would be nice to know someone has confirmed that it does this before I ask...

    Network Map "Client List" moving elsewhere due to low NVRAM

    I've seen this discussed in multiple threads, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer. Is populating the "Client List" names in the Network Map with a friendly name (as opposed to what gets populated by default...seemingly an OUI lookup on the mac) possible without clicking on the entry...

    Relationship/function between odhcp6, dhcp6, /sbin/rc

    Thanks. While my wrapper script was properly capturing parameters and environment when I ran it manually, it was not when running it through the "-s scriptname" parameter. Turns out my issue was missing my shebang interpreter at the top of my script (not sure how it properly worked manually...

    DDNS update loop - caused by watchdog (??)

    Just an update for anyone else that might be interested. The ddns_ipaddr nvram variable still doesn't exist on my box (RT-AC68U | Merlin 386.3_2) when using the CUSTOM option. I suspect that it is because of CUSTOM, but as you state it may be firmware related. If I remember I will report back...

    Relationship/function between odhcp6, dhcp6, /sbin/rc

    Can you help me understand why if I were to run odhcp6c manually and set a "-s /tmp/test.sh" which was a script that simply echoed any passed parameters (or env) to a text file, nothing appears to go there ? Likewise, if I don't have odhcp6c run "-s /tmp/dhcp6c" but run in manually immediately...

    Relationship/function between odhcp6, dhcp6, /sbin/rc

    When IPv6 is enabled (at least in Native mode), odhcp6c is daemonized to run performing as a DHCPv6 client. The following can be seen running on the device: /usr/sbin/odhcp6c -df -R -s /tmp/dhcp6c -N try -c 0003000XXXXXXXXXXXX -FP 0:XXXXX eth0 The odhcp6c help defines -s as: -s <script>...

    DDNS update loop - caused by watchdog (??)

    I still am not quite following you, but it may be due to the fact that indeed I don't have all these variables and thus cannot understand how you are using them: keymaster@router-asus:/jffs/scripts# nvram show 2>/dev/null | grep -E "ddns_ipaddr=|wan0_ipaddr=|wan0_realip_ip="...

    DDNS update loop - caused by watchdog (??)

    Just had a question about your code, in case I decide to go this route: How exactly are you determining with those variables what the currently configured WAN IP is vs what it has been updated to. On my box wan0_ipaddr and wan0_realip_ip both have my current IP. ddns_ipaddr does not even...

    DDNS update loop - caused by watchdog (??)

    I was considering the exact same thing when I started thinking about how to make the issue better. I thought about turning the throttle off entirely, but then entertained your idea of querying first to see what the current registered IP was and if it matched, then simply do no update and mark...

    reporting issues with odhcp6c client... where?

    I just wanted to quickly respond to this, because I can see you were offended by it. First, while you might have felt you were saying the same exact thing over and over again, it wasn't until you actually provided the documentation that I began to see better what you were talking about. Also, I...

    reporting issues with odhcp6c client... where?

    For instance, in trying to definitively answer your question about my lease times I reviewed the configuration I had setup which brought back to my attention tie IAID syntax in the odhcp6c client. I recalled that I never understood the syntax for that parameter when I set it up, even though I...

    reporting issues with odhcp6c client... where?

    Thanks for your response. As I mentioned above I'm just going to continue to discuss this since it went OT anyway (and I should have known better to think that it wouldn't have). Let me start by saying that I continue to approach this without any degree of animosity. I still believe that...
