    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Will I need to make any router changes to get this working under bridge mode? I do not remember that last one as taking any time or extra configuration at all and I'm hoping it works right from the start. Otherwise I'd be stuck with questions and no network.

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Well as you knew Adamm, eliminating the switch did nothing. I had the old Rogers setup in bridge mode and it worked fine. When the tech installed this new device I asked about putting it in bridge mode, and he said it was unnecessary now and I knew very little to debate him on that. We had TV...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Adamm. The funny thing is we got the new ISP router/modem about 3 months ago. Although with no user intervention Skynet just sits quietly and works, I'm surprised I did not notice this until now. I did make a big change a few weeks ago. I changed from Astrill VPN to PIA and OpenVPN. I will...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    The best I could do was two screenshots. Sorry. I was turning this into a me and Putty issue instead of a Skynet setup issue.

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Thanks for getting back to me. I have an Asus AC3100 running Merlin 384.13. From within Linux I cannot copy the output screen of the command using Putty. Nothing is copied to the buffer. I was able to print the output to a file however I cannot attach the file to a message. This is not working...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Adamm. I noticed on Skynet today that since I corrected the menu (site check) problem Skynet reports blocking no inbound or outbound IP's. To get the network to work I had to define the DNS and not just load it from my ISP. Forward local domain queries to upstream DNS is set to N. I cannot...

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Well I noticed that while the Internet is fine and PIA's home page says I'm connected and I have a new IP, in Merlin on the OpenVPN PIA menu it reports a private IP but not a public one. I emailed the PIA guys. Under ExpressVPN it works fine. thanks

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Adamm. An odd problem arose. Using PIA if I reload the Skynet menu it always stops at the Swap file line. If I wait several minutes it reports that there is no internet access however, internet access is fine. Any ideas? thanks

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I meant to say your dnsmasq and I was turning mine off. I thought I deleted the cache but I guess I did not. Once I did all the ads are gone. Thanks! -keef

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Yes, it is Diversion through OpenVPN that is giving me headaches. I tried turning off dnsmasq and setting Accept DNS to disabled. It looked like it worked for a moment. I usually test by looking at weather.com and speedtest.net and all the ads were blocked. Great. I turned Diversion off and the...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Thanks for the screen shot. The only difference between mine and yours is dnsmasq is on here. I cannot mess with it now, the household is home and they pretty much live online. Luckily (or not) I do not sleep so I have all late night to play with it. I'm anxious to get this working. thanks

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Hello. Would someone be willing to share their settings for Diversion under OpenVPN? I'd really appreciate it. I tried and tried with only bad luck as the result. Currently I use Astrill VPN and they recently went to $20/month (USD). While it works great, and allows me to stick with Skynet and...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Well again, I appreciate the info. I did not understand the majority of that. I think I'll leave OpenVPN and Diversion to the better looking crowd out there. I'll have to stick with the Astrill applet.It is overpriced however its easy to setup. thanks for you time. Bj

    Skynet Skynet - Router Firewall & Security Enhancements

    Hello. I am trying out OpenVPN and I'm wondering if there is a way to test if Skynet if not just running but working as well as it normally does. thanks, Bj

    Sysem Commands

    Hello. I use Merlin 384.13. Is there a way to enter a system command? I understand Merlin is not WRT however to clarify what I am talking about on WRT is is Administration > Commands. I'd like to install a VPN applet. thanks
