    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    I had this issue which appears to have ben discussed at least once here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/openvpn-usernames-and-passwords-not-working.73912/ However that was from a while ago and no definitive troubleshooting/root cause was listed. I have some more specific information and I...

    Need help with OpenVPN server configured in non-routing mode

    I had posted about this before and had a brief answer from @RMerlin which I used to configure my RT-N66W as an OpenVPN server in "stand-alone" mode. By this I mean I am not using this device as a conventional router or WiFi AP. I simply want it to sit on the network behind another router an...

    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)

    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

    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

    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>...

    reporting issues with odhcp6c client... where?

    I suspect @RMerlin may be the only one to be able to answer this, but maybe someone else knows. I am trying to do some rework some customization on my WAN connection and I need to manually call the odhcp6 client. The format I see being used by Merlin's odhcp6 implementation clearly works, but...

    DDNS update loop - caused by watchdog (??)

    I use a DDNS custom update script to update to Cloudflare. For the most part it works find. However multiple times a day it seems that the DDNS service gets in some sort of loop and even though it properly registers the address it continues to do so. My script uses a "throttle" function so as...

    Guest Wifi changes pre/post 386.x FW

    In another post a user attempting to assist me in troubleshooting what I believe to be an unrelated problem made comments about my guest WiFi setup not being proper and that changes were introduced in the 386 FW that totally change how things are configured. Now my current configuration was, I...

    Some syslog entries being logged GMT

    I've been seeing this issue for a long time, but just decided to go about trying to fix as I'm trying to parse through a bunch of logs and would rather not deal with the discrepancies. I wasn't sure exactly what was going on at first, but I noticed that some apps (seemingly third party ones...

    USB drive failure...or something worse?

    I run entware off my USB with several applications on my RT-AC68U. In the past 5-6 years I have had several failures of my USB drives. On one or two occurrences, these were due to disk corruption likely due to too many hard power offs and no fsck running, etc. In these cases I...

    "no address range available for DHCP request via br0" - dnsmaq/IPv6 experts needed...

    So let me start off by saying that everything appears to be working as normal, however I'm not sure exactly what this message means (though I have good idea), if I can get rid of it, and if perhaps I have a misconfiguration that is causing it (and therefore can do something to optimize my...

    SSH Brute Force Protection - sshd_bfp - where in GUI?

    I see the nvram variable 'sshd_bfp=1' but I don't know where this option is in the gui, and/or if any of the settings are configurable? Is there a way if you already have a console session open in one window you can reset this count by restarting a service? I have locked myself out a few times...

    amtm disk-check script and ntp

    So I was able to cut 100 seconds off my boot time by fixing up some things with my configuration. The delay was coming from the disk-check script that is executed in pre-mount: pre-mount #!/bin/sh . /jffs/addons/amtm/disk-check # Added by amtm disk-check while [ "$(nvram get ntp_ready)" =...

    Where is rc.unslung launched in current firmware versions?

    I'm doing some troubleshooting and trying to figure out where rc.unslung is launched from? I'm reading it is in the post-mount or services-start scripts, but I'm not seeing it. I have done some customization in the past, and usually what I do is I create my script structure like this...

    Forwarding Performance and Switching Capacity of RT-AC68U

    I've noticed that when I do large file copies between two wired systems (SystemA and SystemB) that my Wifi access to the internet is slowed. These system are connected to LAN ports 1 and 2 respectively, which are GB ports. My file copy software reports speeds of about 108 MB/s which translates...

    Is there a reason BB code can't be disabled?

    So I was having a problem posting a thread and going to ask here...hopefully the problem repeats itself: Being a tech forum, I think I would be able to post something like: http://[ip address]:port and have it actually read as: http://[ip address]: port without the extra space. But I can't...

    Anyone running NGINX with IPv6? Possible?

    I've been running entware NGINX on my Asus for years now serving out several internal web services. I'm trying to learn a bit more about IPv6, and was trying to get one of my sites to listen and serve out over it's IPv6 address in addition to IPv4. I have tested by using the IPv6 firewall...

    Troubleshooting IPv6 and determining address

    I'm a whiz on IPv4, but I haven't really taken the time to learn IPv6 yet, so this might be a dumb question. Long story short, due to some problems that were happening on a local system, I disabled IPv6 on my Asus as a test because I was seeing some strange DNS problems on a client. Turns out...
