amtm amtm 3.2.x - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

[bsod]

Since I last posted I've been having random disconnects to in-game and streaming traffic. Ping tests pass straight through without packet loss and monitoring my connection shows no signs of disconnects or high latency but the disconnects kept happening.
In the end I used process of elimination to disable scripts one by one. Unfortunately it didn't help, and neither did uninstalling each one by one. To fix the disconnects I had to uninstall everything, format jffs, remove swap and format and remove my USB disk.

I guess at some point I'll try again with each script one by one but no matter what I do my AC-86U always ends to forgetting my USB is connected after a while, and if it doesn't I get these disconnects.

Does anyone know how I can find the cause of this? There's no error messages in sys log when I got the disconnects, and when my USB is no longer detected sys log complains there's a problem with the USB device, yet re-inserting it the disk is always detected and mounted fine.

Something is causing this, I wish I knew how to pin point it.

Theoretically if my scripts are reading and writing to the same file as amtm in the same format, there's no harm in keeping it even when amtm has a WebUI?

I agree with your theory.

amtm3.2.1: the mere update already causes /jffs/addons/wireguard to be emptied...and an existing installation no longer works.

I have no idea of the history of how and where files are stored for this addon.
Assuming that it has always been the same, I coded it with the current version in mind. That appears to be a false assumption.

amtm only relies on the main file being present to determine if an addon is installed.
Since the WireGuard Session Manager leaves that main file behind even if the installation failed due to compatibility I had to add an additional file check.
The two files amtm checks for are:

/jffs/addons/wireguard/wg_manager.sh
/jffs/addons/wireguard/wg_firewall

If the first is present and second is missing, I assume a failed installation happened, therefore I remove the /jffs/addons/wireguard directory.

Again, that is with the current available version.

Maybe updating an older installation helps before updating to the latest amtm v3.2.1.

Edit: See post below.

I have removed the above mentioned extra file check, WireGuard Session Manager now only looks for the file /jffs/addons/wireguard/wg_manager.sh to be present.
It will also no longer remove the /jffs/addons/wireguard directory.

Updated amtm right after your first post with Wireguard Manager 4.13 and it found my existing installation and did not remove anything.

This is a Very HUGE addition for securing our devices/network, for those who are unaware what WireGuard is or VPNs are in general.
The lead developer/inventor explains (perhaps too technically at times) in this video:
Video to kill the VPN stars

(I wonder what the implication will be for the router firmware when all the "bloatcode" currently included can be eliminated, if that's possible? will it be like being able to run iOS 15 on iphone 6s?)

You was absolutely right! When i cleared some space, update is finished succesfully)

I'm trying to use the new email option, but I cannot get it to work with a gmail account. I'm using the smtps prococol and credentials that I verified using Thunderbird, both without and with the --insecure option. Is there any further magic that has to happen to get gmail to work?

are you using an app password?

Probably not, since I do not know what this is. Can you point me to a how-to?

Thanks, but on the surface, I do not have 2-factor enabled for that acct, so not sure this applies. But I'll look closer at it.

I've added a verbose option to the send testmail option in amtm.
Use that option to see what's going on, post (redacted) curl output if you need further help.

Use uu in amtm to get the updated email.mod file first.

Here is a link to the verbose output. I did obscure some of the lines that appear to be personal or encrypted data. If you need the originals, let me know, and I'll send to you personally.
I verified in the gmail account that imap is enabled, that the Less Secure option is enabled, and that 2-step Verification is off.
