    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Appreciate the testing. Well, hopefully that is good news and means it was resolved on some future FW. I'll report back on if mine is resolved once I have the chance to upgrade.

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    I'm not sure what model you have, but I believe most models build the file systems from scratch on boot. This is why we need the /jffs partition to store data to customize those files as well as using the data stored in NVRAM. The vpn_serverx_clientlist stores that data on my model (as...

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Thanks... I somehow missed you addressing the fixes for NVRAM in my last response. Based on this I do plan to do the upgrade, but I am actually away for about 6 weeks (hence why I was messing more with the VPN and discovered the problem). I'll be sure to come back after I upgrade and test...

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Yes, I acknowledge that I'm running an older version. However, as mentioned many people did not want to upgrade much past 386.3_2 due to the NVRAM issues. I suspect there are still many people on this older version. I will have to do additional research to see if there has been a better...

    OpenVPN Usernames and Passwords not working

    Just wanted to update for anyone finding this thread (as I did when I experienced a similar weirdness), that I have done some troubleshooting which does not provide any real solution or root cause, but better explains the problem and the behaviors. You can find it here...

    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

    SOLVED Apparently I had disabled NAT under the WAN settings in my efforts to disable all "unnecessary" services for this configuration. I guess I had mistakenly assumed that since I was not using this device as a traditional router, that NAT would not be necessary to translate any external...

    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...

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

    This did not seem to work for me. However I do not actually use the dhcp server of the Asus (I do have dnsmasq running, just not doing dhcp). Since you say you need to reboot so all clients get their leases so this works it sounds like the router is then not pulling this information from the...

    AdGuardHome Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI) cont.

    Yeah, I mostly agree. I even think that the Whois data for external clients is mostly meaningless. So you know you had a connection from someone on the T-Mobile network - so what? You have no idea if it was you, or your brother, or someone who happened to get a hold of your address - its...

    AdGuardHome Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI) cont.

    Thanks for the info. I put AdGuard on hold for a bit as I am trying to work out some IPv6 issues in order to get the name resolution I desire. I've seen something in the issue tracker about privacy concerns, but I'm not entirely sure they are warranted. If you are using GUAs in your...

    AdGuardHome Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI) cont.

    Thanks. I didn't realize that they offered a fully stand alone Windows version that is super easy to setup. I am playing with that for now to try and get familiar with all the basic setup before I even try to put it on the router. In the end I may choose not to and just keep a Windows...

    AdGuardHome Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI) cont.

    Thanks. Assuming other people are using it on 68Us I don't expect there will be an issue on mine. I actually have fairly low memory utilization so don't want that to be the initial reason not try. So to that effect, all my original questions still stand. Diversion simply adds 127.0.0.1...

    AdGuardHome Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI) cont.

    Hoping someone can just give me an accelerated primer here: I used to run Diversion, but moved away from it as it caused a bunch of issues with my wife's mobile games and I decided to just run a local ad block on my laptop. Been thinking of another central solution and think I prefer to try...

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

    Just wanted to correct myself here. I remembered incorrectly. The amtm script timeout is I believe only 100 seconds, not 5 minutes. So if you have having delays longer than about 2 minutes at that point it is likely not the amtm script holding you up.

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

    I've modified it now, but I pulled this from a backup. I admit with my latest testing results from above, I'm not entirely sure how this worked (will explain again in-line), but I only recently started seeing incidents of ntp_ready set to 0 and Skynet complaining. When I look at the logic now...

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

    Just to confirm my additional suspicions/observations. If ntp is somehow killed, it does not appear that there is any built-in process which will start it back again. This is true regardless of the value of "ntp_ready". Again, this seems problematic to me that the system has no way to recover...

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

    Its hard to say. If you are an AMTM user then yes, there is a 5 minute timeout for the disk check to run if "ntp_ready" isn't set. I suggest the first thing you do is after reboot you should ssh into the system and execute: nvram get ntp_ready If it shows "0" that means that your box hasn't...

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

    You are exactly right on both counts. I'm not 100% sure what happened but my customization used to work and something, somehow was changed and was causing this issue. To be clear, my time did get initially synced at boot-up, but somehow the ntp_ready was being reverted and this was causing...

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

    Ok. So assuming I get the initial message and ntp_ready=1, you are saying that I won't see any more messages? I still assume that ntp client is running occasionally in the background to check the time status/drift? I don't see anything in "ps | grep ntp" so I assume something is either...
