Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 Beta is now available

[octopus]

Are any of you using Aimesh in the latest Beta1 firmware?
Wondering because when I tried opanvpn, wireguard and ftp stopped responding from the wan side.
Added the Aimesh node with Lan cable and according to the master node it worked, which it did.

Would be nice to kmow what else is changed or fixed.

You will have to research it for yourself. I don't get any changelog with these source drops.

other than asus completely reworking how ssl certificates work in 24353, what else is new in this gpl? I tried googling for it, but came up with nothing. Would be nice to kmow what else is changed or fixed.

This is changelog for 3.0.0.4.388_24328 which is the closest to 24353 i've found. For sure is not exaustive:

Oh this is nice, they (ASUS) finally got it right; after importing this new Certificate (in Authorities) into Mozilla (Waterfox for me), no need anymore to add as Exception (in Servers)!!

Anyone one got stuff rebooting automatically? A single RT-AX88U.
Back on a wiped router, with SSH turned on, VPNs done, split 2.4/5 GHz SSID, DDNS and DoT setup. Leaving it without adding Skynet or Diversion and will run it for some time.
Think I recall it working just fine until I added Diversion. Never used before, but decided to try it out.
I could see stuff dropping like every 30 minutes or so (including wired). Logs didn't show much other than it looked like a reboot, but not taking just as long time.

The issues I had before seems to not be happening again. Have been enabling things step by step.
I may have forgotten to wipe JFFS last wipe. Maybe that could have been a reason.

Yes, AX88 and two AX86 with OpenVPN, WireGuard and IPsec (because Wife had has a new ROG Windows 11 Laptop and it's native, simpler for her to use ) severs all active and working and all services too.

If you want to have a clean start from scratch, checking this box is enough most of the times:

ps.: do not reload any saved settings after the restore, you need to set up everything manually again

AX68U is rock solid and coming up to 6 days up time. NO complaints from the kids or wife unit. Thought the AX68U has never give me any problems no matter the version.

I use a GT-AX6000 for master and a RT-AX88U as the node. I connect with a hard wire from the 2.5gb ax6000 port the wan port on the AX88u. I have a dsl service and do not use any vlan`s currently. I do not use any scripts as well. Well, let me correct myself. I use Cake and have excellent results with it. The latest beta is working great. Been on it since the second day of the lease.

Thanks for your reply.
My servers start as they should, the problem is that the clients do not connect, reach the servers.
Have you tried connecting clients to openvpn and wireguard servers?

Yes, WireGuard/IPsec (phone/Laptop) and OpenVPN/IPsec (phone/Laptop), WireGuard/OpenVPN (his & her phones). I did the IPsec config after I configured the Laptop I updated to the beta. Double check your configs for the servers and the logs to see why the clients aren't connecting. VPN Logs will tell you why, helped me a lot with Win11 client and IPsec configuration on Win11.

My suggestion is to start a sepate thread on this and post the logs on the clients attemping to connect and failing for the detail needed to get some better help out of forum, but it does't it doesn't look like it's the beta causing you issue.

I did find a problem with the VPN boot up sequence. Seems VPN 1 doesn't initialize completely. I had to restart VPN 1 to initialize completely. I've attached the system log edited to explain what's going on and my settings CFG file minus password renamed to txt for testing purposes.

Remove your addons and test again.

I forward the system log to a Raspberry Pi and its /var/log/syslog and /var/log/user.log files are flooded with errors

If I want to investigate this further, is there a specific service I can restart instead of rebooting the router?

(since the "Apply" button does not seem to do anything)

You can run service restart_logger

Did not need to restart the service (yet?), because I discovered that wlceventd is dumping (a lot of) binary data in the syslog, which rsyslog on the Raspberry Pi obviously does not like.

I worked around that using Scribe and a filter that filters the binary data (`dump_data`) from the log. So far this seems to help.

Since I can't find any references to "wlceventd" or "dump_data" in the sources, I guess this is a closed source component?

Yes.

# strings /usr/sbin/wlceventd | grep dump
bcmdumpfields
dump data (%d)
dump_data
