    Skynet Skynet noob question: Is this amount of inbound blocks normal?

    Wait so I'm actually hacked by 55285-guy? Do we know that for sure I'm hacked, or could the >2000 hits from 55285 just be something random? Didn't Skynet or AIProtect do anything to stop the attack? I have not setup anything on port 23, so why is it being used by someone outside? Did Skynet...

    Skynet Skynet noob question: Is this amount of inbound blocks normal?

    Ah, okay so the 55285 is the attacker's port and not my port being hit? I see. It seems the 55285-guy gave up, because it's been stuck on 2908 hits for an hour now. But what does it mean that I'm getting hit 2908 times from the 55285-guy, is he actually hacking me or is Skynet blocking him? It's...

    Skynet Skynet noob question: Is this amount of inbound blocks normal?

    The port 55285 is not mentioned in Sytems Log -> Connections.

    Skynet Skynet noob question: Is this amount of inbound blocks normal?

    I'm sure questions like these get asked all the time, but I got nervous from what I saw in Skynet, and couldn't find anything concrete when searching the forums. I installed Skynet yesterday, and noticed that in just a few hours I had 1700 inbound blocks, I accidentally reset the key stat...

    Avoid Consumer Routers

    Thanks for chiming in @RMerlin. I agree, you shouldn't judge all routers the same. Asus seems to be the more serious consumer-product contender with frequent updates, and of course with your merlin-wrt I think, consumer-wise, Asus-routers is as safe as one can get when on a normal consumer...

    Help me keep an Asus AX58 up Forever! :-)

    Old post I know, but I stumbled upon it, and I have experience with old folks needing a safe setup. Here's what I would do: 1) This is the most important: Enable and set up your own VPN-server on the AX58U and allow yourself to VPN yourself into aunties network through OpenVPN Connect. From now...

    Skynet AIprotect/Skynet

    Who is wrong? Tech9? And what is wrong exactly, Skynets capabilities, or that you need both Skynet and AIprotect?

    Skynet AIprotect/Skynet

    Noob question: Do I need AIprotection when I have Skynet running, or is it redundant? Skynet offers malware protection and firewall protection just like AIprotection, so, can I safely turn off AIprotection?

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.3 is now available

    Ahhh the smell of a freshly flashed firmware... almost like a fresh cup of coffee. Thanks @RMerlin. I'm super excited for the OpenVPN improvements!

    Avoid Consumer Routers

    @Tech9 Oh yes, the more antennas the more secure the router, right? Thank God for all those antennas, I can't imagine malware dares coming close to my network once it sees those red accents! Should even scare away a trojan too, I reckon :D Silly enterprise gear hasn't figured this out yet.

    Avoid Consumer Routers

    Thanks @BreakingDad, that gives comfort reading hehe :) I also made a more thorough search and found out most of the things I read over at routersecurity.com is false or have already been fixed. I should have done my homework better before posting and asking. My apologies for this rookie mistake.

    Avoid Consumer Routers

    I tried searching for them, and could't find anything relevant. I was worried, and wanted to know if it's old news and not anything to worry about, or if it still holds true. Arstechnica apparently linked to his article. If it is just incorrect and scare tactics, then I can rest assured. I'll...

    Avoid Consumer Routers

    UPDATE: Most of the statements linked below are false or have been fixed. I should have done a more thorough search before posting. My apologies to the community. TL;DR: All popular consumer routers have outdated software, kernels and services. They have hundreds of knows security flaws, that...

    RT-AX86U firmware 386.3 beta 3 VPN does not work

    Did VPN work fine on 386.2? If yes, try setting up the VPN from scratch, export the new config-file and set-up openvpn connect again.

    So, a new router came today, the AX86U <3

    Thanks :) I don’t think any of my devices will be able to take advantage of 160mhz just yet, as I have a MBP 2018 and iPhone 8 and 12. The rest of my stuff is wired into the router (PS4, AppleTV, Ikea smart home hub etc) Is FlexQoS - or any QoS for that matter - necessary with 1gbps fiber...

    So, a new router came today, the AX86U <3

    After having read these forums for a year, and felt a bit of frustration with my AX58U poor performance, and reading how it is an okay-ish entry level product in several reviews with poor performance (just look at Thiggins throughput review) I finally bit the bullet and sold the AX58U and...

    Looking to replace ASUS 1900p

    This forum is the church of merlin, and the changelog is its holy scripture! (yes you should install it :) )

    RT AX86U - Help me improving my latency please! Bufferbloat?

    Hmm, here's mine on AX58 (latest merlin) on 5Ghz radio streaming to a macbook pro 3x3 AC and 1000/1000 connection. It does vary between grade A and a B on multiple test runs. And sometimes my latency is 30-40ms on unloaded. I can't explain it. Is it normal that the faster the connection, the...
