Thanks, but Start with WAN is not enabled.Make sure you don't have Start with WAN enabled, otherwise that will cause the VPN service to automatically restart on settings application.

Check the HW revision on the physical tag. New posts elsewhere on this forum indicates a new BCM 1GHz CPU in 68U HW Rev B1. You're one of the lucky ones.Still wondering what's up with my 1000mhz 68U. Beyond the cpuinfo is there any other command I can run via CLI to identify the insides?
ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4 Mon Nov 2 14:58:44 UTC 2015
nvram get model RT-AC68U
nvram get boardtype 0x0665
nvram get bl_version 1.0.2.5
BCM94709r found for board type 0x0665
Also while for the most part applying commands does not cause the USB 3 attached drive to get lost. However on some warm boots it is gone. I have to either do power off or unplug and then plug back in, of course, the drive. When this happens the LED is illuminated as if attached but it is not found.
Still something happening with an attached USB 3 drive during some warm boots that doesn't find, reinitialize, something, the USB 3 drive.
You're lucky then, I've had this fault since every build since 378.54.2 - reset the router/erased nvram/updated the firmware/reset again/erased again.....same fault.I'm constantly logging into my router over SSH from my wireless laptop while doing development, no problem at all.
When i was asking same question i told that after 8 days it was still increasing RAM usage. From 19 to 35% in 8 days of uplink. Decreasing back to 18-19% only after reboot.
The other user (sorry, can't track them down right now) saw that the ram usage dropped after the third day or so. So, nothing to worry about. Ram is meant to be used and it is being used by the router as needed and freed when not anymore.
I understand Ram is meant to be used but that dont explain why it keeps slowly rising for no reason. I just noticed even if i click around the GUI for a few minutes making no changes to anything just looking around the Ram starts rising this makes no since what so ever very strange indeed. Again what happens when it reaches 100% ? Something is not right never had this happen on this router until the last two builds.
If you have an Android smartphone, take a look at the used memory just after booting and then hour by hour : you will see RAM usage increasing, even near to its max but as soon as a new app is launched, some mem get free up. I guess the RAM management on our router could be something near Android's one...not sure.I understand Ram is meant to be used but that dont explain why it keeps slowly rising for no reason.

It won't just keep going up until the router crashes. Linux will use it and free it up as needed. Stop worrying about something that is not a problem.
I am not worried i have many routers here i can use if need be. I really would just like to understand why this happens when it never use to before, nothing more nothing less. Thanks for your comment.
Don't really know why it didn't before. But that is how it is supposed to work.
Used as needed by running processes and freed if needed by more current ones. The actual use of the network / router would dictate what path the ram use follows, of course.
From original post:
378.56_2 (2-Nov-2015)
- CHANGED: Reverted the memory buffering optimization
for ARM devices, as people keep panicking
over the lower amount of free RAM. You can
manually re-enable the optimization by setting
"drop_caches=0" in nvram.
Thats well and good but this fix or work around does not work as the Ram usage is still adding up
Interesting! I've got the same issue and I was blaming HTTPS scanning in the kaspersky antivirus we use at work. I've found it to only happen on sites that use https.
Two solutions:I noticed a bug with the openVPN client.
Whenever my router reboots, cron job at night daily, it switches on the vpn client.
Even when it was switched off at the first place.
Ok Start with WAN makes sense.Two solutions:
- set "Start with WAN" to "No"!
- stop useless rebooting!
