    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    Хороший! You've given me new prospective with regard to the @Tech9 alias. Mad Skills! That explains the profile image. You wouldn't happen to know whether there is memory upgrade potential with that board?

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    I think I'm just about right there with you. :) My first job out of college, my co-works bestowed the pseudonym gnutech (Gary GNU) upon me, which I used for years; until, I decided that using my given name was more marketable for business purposes. I still like to think @Tech9 is a firearm or...

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    ROTFLMAO! :D It seems I did make an impression. Now, the question is whether you had to translate that statement as I had to originally and once again? Now, I'm very interested. How did you mod your RT-AX88U? Hmm... I'll have to research this further. Presently, I'm using a couple of kernel...

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    @Tech9 I appreciate you bringing such an important fact to my attention. However, I couldn't help but chuckle reading this portion of your response. I must have made an impression on you with my RT-AC66U_B1. Do you have photographic memory or do track Asuswrt-Merlin Users' hardware setups? ;)...

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    Asuswrt's Time Machine support is fairly decent. However, I'd recommend making a backup of your backup as it will eventually fail. I really need more RAM on my primary router. The RT-AX models (i.e., RT-AX86U, RT-AX88U, GT-AX11000) with 1GB RAM would be ideal. However, I'm not sure I want to...

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    Hi @ColinTaylor I thought that might be the case, but I wanted to make sure that Asus hadn't depreciated the Time Machine feature in the RT-AX series. I suppose it's safe to assume that the same logic holds true for @RMerlin firmware? Thanks for another assist. Respectfully, Gary P.S...

    [DEVEL] Asuswrt-Merlin Remote Log Server (Syslog & Syslog-ng Synergy) to Centralize Primary Router & AiMesh Node System Logs

    I'm glad that did the trick. You're welcome to move this post wherever you think is most appropriate. Enjoy!

    Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec?

    Which Asuswrt RT-AC/X Routers Support Time Machine & IPSec? The Asus FAQ's aren't very helpful in the matter. The Time Machine FAQ suggests that only RT-AC Routers support Time Machine. [USB Application] Introduction of Time Machine The IPSec VPN FAQ suggests that mostly RT-AX Routers...

    [DEVEL] Asuswrt-Merlin Remote Log Server (Syslog & Syslog-ng Synergy) to Centralize Primary Router & AiMesh Node System Logs

    AiMesh Nodes inherit some of the nvram variables from the primary router. I'm fairly positive that is what is happening with your log_ipaddr nvram variable on your AiMesh Node. After your AiMesh Node is rebooted, it's inheriting the empty log_ipaddr variable from the primary router. In my case...

    [DEVEL] Asuswrt-Merlin Remote Log Server (Syslog & Syslog-ng Synergy) to Centralize Primary Router & AiMesh Node System Logs

    @elorimer I'm glad your workaround works, but it shouldn't be necessary. It's strange that your remote syslog server IP doesn't survive in committed nvram after the AiMesh node is rebooted. It's strange that you can commit jffs2_scripts, but not the log_ipaddr variable. Which Asuswrt-Merlin...

    Entware [SOLUTION] Cross-Compile ProxyChains-NG Entware Package via Debian Live DVD

    I've discovered that proxychains-ng works very well with Tor and is a better replacement to torsocks in some implementations. Enjoy! ;)

    Entware [SOLUTION] Cross-Compile ProxyChains-NG Entware Package via Debian Live DVD

    NOTE: After finally being convinced by the Entware & OpenWRT Developers that neither Build Environment was meant to be Compiled Natively on a Router (Neutered C Libraries), I decided to pursue this Cross-Compile ProxyChains-NG Entware Package via Debian Live DVD solution; which, is presumably a...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    I recommend the hAP ac3 as your Mikrotik wireless device plus any of the Mikrotik gigabit wired devices. Here's the related Wireless to Wireless Presentation. Let us know your experience. Enjoy! Gary

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    @Tech9 Appreciate you adding more prospective to this topic, so others can determine the best solution for their needs. In my initial research, I considered Ubiquiti and TP-Link as alternatives, but kept returning to Mikrotik for its features, pricing, and routeros. With Mikrotik, one is...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    High-Availability at home is almost becoming a necessity in this day and age. Mikrotik should be a great solution for your needs. If upgrading to gigabit is only $4 more per month, I'd probably go the same route as well. An alternative for redundant Internet could be 5G mobile terminated at the...

    Tutorial Asus Dual WAN Router Load Balancing and Failover Router Problems and Fix

    Correct... You can keep the Asuswrt in Wireless Router Mode. Configure your Asuswrt-Merlin WAN interface with a Static Private IP Address, which you will Overload NAT to from the Mikrotik. Wireless Router Mode should be fine. I would recommend continuing to use DHCP on your Asuswrt-Merlin...

    [SOLUTION] asus-wrapper-acme.sh Adds --dns Support for Let's Encrypt Wildcard SAN Certs to Integrated Asus acme.sh Implementation

    I like to be verbose with my command-line arguments, so when I revisit them in the future I still know what's going on. This post being a case in point. :)

    [SOLUTION] asus-wrapper-acme.sh Adds --dns Support for Let's Encrypt Wildcard SAN Certs to Integrated Asus acme.sh Implementation

    @Jeffrey Young & @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow I performed a manual import of a zerossl san/wildcard cert.pem & key.pem pair through the Asuswrt-Merlin webgui; while, watching the previously mentioned relevant nvram variables. The imported cert.pem & key.pem were copied by the webgui to the...

    [SOLUTION] asus-wrapper-acme.sh Adds --dns Support for Let's Encrypt Wildcard SAN Certs to Integrated Asus acme.sh Implementation

    This is a classic case of security vs usability and precisely why many certificate authorities are adopting a shortened cert lifecycle. Each to their own.
