384.4: layer7 / libipt_layer7.so

[Huib]

Support for this library seems broken.

1. The default protocol directory is /etc_ro/l7-protocols according to the lib, but a search of the file system indicates that, at least on Merlin, it is /rom/etc/l7-protocols or /tmp/etc/l7-protocols
2. Both folders are empty

It would be great if:

1. The library can point to an existing directory
2. That directory contains pattern files. They exist on github

This would save me from using --l7dir and copying pattern files manually.

That support was removed in 382.1 since it was obsolete, used way outdated definitions, and over the past 5 years I didn't recall seeing a single reference to anyone using them in Asuswrt-Merlin.

What you see are just leftovers that are present in the stock firmware.

Okay, good to know, thank you.

Any chance of including OpenDPI /nDPI in Merlin? I'd love to do some filtering

Not at this time, sorry.
