FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.0 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

[dave14305]

This is FlexQoS, a fork of the original, groundbreaking FreshJR_QOS script written by @FreshJR.

FlexQoS provides a fully customizable Adaptive QoS experience.

This thread is now superseded by Version 1.1 posted in this thread.

Version 1.0.6 - 20-Nov-2020

Enhancements:

• Support for at least 24 user iptables rules
• Support for at least 32 user appdb rules
• Support for IPv6 iptables rules that are port-based rules only
• Experimental support for IPv6 device filter
• Edit or delete previously hard-coded rules
• Customize Untracked category (Mask 000000) destination using custom AppDB rule (default class is Others)
• Support for new Asus classes Work-From-Home and Learn-From-Home
• Learn-From-Home is repurposed to handle Game Downloads traffic and the priority can be adjusted unlike the former Defaults class
• Experimental changes to the connection list to prefer client names over IPs, including IPv6
• Implemented new table API for iptables rules to validate input and allow in-cell editing
• Auto-populate Application name when entering Mark in AppDB rules
• Search application names in WebUI to find the Mark (mimic CLI appdb feature)
• Removed hard-coded 5 minute startup delay. Startup only sleeps in 10 sec increments if all tc rules not yet created
• Rewritten for Merlin Addon API
• Converts existing FreshJR_QOS rules to new format and creates backup file of old rules via separate migrate_FreshJR.sh script on Github
• Trigger persistence check immediately after TrendMicro signature check/update (restart_wrs)
• Add DoT port 853 to router traffic exclusion hard-coded rule
• Flush conntrack table to ensure iptables rules affect pre-existing connections

Changes:

• Simplified interactive menu environment and eliminated interactive rules and rates options (use GUI)
• Leaves original Merlin Classification tab intact
• Eliminated support for legacy user rules hardcoded in script
• Gaming rule is now like any other rule (Local IP/CIDR + Proto Both + RPort !80,443 + Mask 000000 = Class Gaming)

Fixes since FreshJR_QOS v8.8:

• AppDB rule detection logic
• Fixed wildcard marks not being applied in tc rules
• Fixed port 443 typo in Gaming rule

Known Issues:

• IPv6 support is experimental
• IPv6 upload traffic may not be limited by QoS
• The name FlexQoS isn't exciting and Flex might be overused in the world. I felt it was non-personal enough to outlast dave14305. By keeping the F in the name, I felt this pays a small tribute to the original script and author.

Requirements:

• ASUSWRT-Merlin 384.15 or higher
• SSH, JFFS scripts enabled
• Adaptive QoS enabled

Installation:
Warning: Installing FlexQoS will uninstall FreshJR_QOS! If you have legacy rules hard-coded in the script, please backup JFFS or copy /jffs/scripts/FreshJR_QOS to a safe location. The installation will migrate existing FreshJR GUI rules before uninstalling. FreshJR_QOS can be reinstalled via amtm if you choose to uninstall FlexQoS.

The simplest method for installation is to use amtm, option i, option 3.

Paste the following command into your SSH terminal session for manual installation:

/usr/sbin/curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dave14305/FlexQoS/master/flexqos.sh" -o /jffs/addons/flexqos/flexqos.sh --create-dirs && chmod +x /jffs/addons/flexqos/flexqos.sh && sh /jffs/addons/flexqos/flexqos.sh -install

Source: https://github.com/dave14305/FlexQoS

Updates:

flexqos -update
# or
sh /jffs/addons/flexqos/flexqos.sh -update

Create New Rule

 

[dave14305]

To-do List:

• Backport Merlin's filters on the connection table
• Add a "reset to defaults" for the UI rules in case someone messes up badly
• Document the script logic so others can more easily contribute to the project

Wish List:

• Figure out how to use 2 separate tableApi tables with in-cell editing on the same page. Editing the second table modifies the first table, so had to use 2 different table types.
• Figure out how to support rule naming without using up valuable custom_settings space
• Figure out if there's an easier way to customize the tableApi validation functions instead of cloning table.js and tableValidator.js

FAQ

How should I set my QoS priorities?
There is 1 requirement to ensure the script works properly:

1. Learn-From-Home is lower priority than Video and Audio Streaming (I recommend the bottom of the priority list).
2. There is no longer a #2.

Been waiting on this! Thought you were waiting until the final 384.18 release. And I will admit I've been watching the CakeQOS thread pretty closely but the trend micro stuff doesn't concern me as much as others it seems. I understand the set it and forget it mentality but I can't wrap my brain around not seeing a graph or chart to go with it.

So installation seemed to go without a hitch...most of my rules were done in the gui so I didn't back up anything. Do I need to wait for data to populate though?

Hmm. Hit F12 in the browser and check the Console tab. Maybe a helper script is missing.

That is funky. Do you have an adblocker trying to interfere with the page? Can you post or PM the contents of /jffs/addons/flexqos/restore_freshjr_nvram.sh so I can see if your rules are unexpected in some way?

grep ^flexqos /jffs/addons/custom_settings.txt
cat /jffs/addons/flexqos/restore_freshjr_nvram.sh

I use Brave but the shields are off for the router page. Incoming PM with rules....

Because we all have to laugh at ourselves sometimes.

Bug squashed with v0.4. Use flexqos -update to update.

Done and Done....Feel free to clean up my first couple posts as they aren't needed anymore and just take up space. Also how long before we get inclusion to AMTM now. Paging Dr @thelonelycoder

I have no power over anything but my own posts. As my first customer, you will be enshrined forever in this thread, similar to framing the first $1 bill in a newly opened store.

I don't want to rush this out to the masses until I'm sure it works. So much was changed under the hood to break the 4-rule barrier that it needs to cook a little more as a beta.

Also, I hobbled the menu system so much that it's probably not ready for clean integration/navigation with amtm yet.

In that case then...

Happy to report second/remote unit updated without a hitch. Data already showing with correct rules and no reboot was needed to remove freshjr customization portion from classification tab.

 

[Vexira]

Well I hope that atlest I'll be in second place because this looks amazing it's like a breath of fresh air to the script, please keep up the great work.

How much space does a typical iptables rule use in custom_settings.txt? It looks like that's where you're saving the rules now, is that right? I'm just conscious that that file has an 8kb limit

 

[Jack Yaz]

I'll be installing this after work tonight

First I need to figure out what I modified in my copy of FreshJR to see if I need to add it as a new rule in your script
