There will be a break but also no one is forcing people to upgrade just because a new firmware is out that is your choice.

Literally, a LOL, I literally laught here. ;)

Upgrade from 386.7_2 went smooth. The only issue identified is that the cpu_wait variable disappeared, so I cannot set it. As a result the cpu temperature increased from 67 to 72 degrees Celsius when the router is idle. @RMerlin could you check if this is intentionally done in new ASUS GPL or is a bug?
 
67 to 72 increase is insignificant.

Was a router reboot performed?

Yes. After one hour I will reboot again, but the problem is that cpu_wait variable does not exist anymore.

That variable has never existed on the RT-AX88U.

Code:
#if defined(RTAC86U) || defined(GTAC2900)
        { "cpu_wait", "1", CKN_STR1, CKN_TYPE_DEFAULT, CKN_ACC_LEVEL_DEFAULT, CKN_ENC_DEFAULT, 0 },
#endif
 
That variable has never existed on the RT-AX88U.
I remember that I've used cpu_wait in the past. My router always keeps cpu temperature around 66-67 in idle state. Now it is 72. I am wondering what is the reason? I cannot revert now to 386.7_2 to verify the issue because the time slot for router maintenance obtained from my wife expired :D

If this the command you were trying ?

I have an A1 model so its turned off for me. Also a 5 degree increase in temps is nothing to worry about.

Yes, it is the command I looked for. I remember that there was such command, but forgot it and wrongly decided that there is a nvram variable named "cpu_wait". Thank you for reminding me the right way to manipulate power options.

So now I've checked the status - the cpuwait is ENABLED as it was configured on my router, so the temperature increase is of another origin. Yes, 5 degree increase in not to worry about, but why upgrade from 386.7_2 to 386.8 results in such increase?

No problem at all with temperatures. Nothing changed with step to 386.8.

Shows up many "WOODY" adresses from the US by testing the VPN with dns-leak.com
Used Quad9 as DNS and for DoT, maybe its there Servers in the US (not swiss) but not sure about it :rolleyes:

Question: "SAFE" ???

IMHO, yes, safe.
 
From the other Thread:
Origin IP general geolocation information: i.e. geocode, region ID, city ID, and metro code
so VPN over Quad9 with DoT wouldn´t be this safe, by collecting this data from users ?

You can check yourself via ipleak.net - it will tell you the IP address (VPN or provider), geolocation and more details - as well as the DNS servers used!

By the way: There is no free lunch here! Either you pay with your data for a free service or you pay with money for the right secure service... :oops:
 
And unless you buy that 'right secure service' and can fully/completely control it yourself, even that security is an illusion, eventually. :)
 
These temperatures mean nothing. They depend on ambient temperature in the room and other factors. What is important is the difference between 386.7_2 and 386.8. Did you compared the CPU temperature between 386.7_2 and 386.8?

you just use Unbound? unless signature is not up to date ?
