[Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.10 Beta is now available

[Vexira]

"eyerex : There is no beta 2 yet as I know of.

beta 1 has been working great for me so far on the same router.

There is an beta 2 but you have to compile it yourself.

Haven't heard back from you - I'd need a copy of that SOA request that's apparently generating these errors, since so far nobody else has reported anything similar, and I can't reproduce it either no matter what I try.

I have the same log spam. Anyway I can help to give you the log? Like how to capture the log and how to send it to you?

Must have been owine...
Thanks, Eric! Your efforts seem to always bear good fruit...

Do you use any of the following?

- IPv6
- DNSFilter
- DNSCrypt or Stubby
- Customized config files (either firewall or dnsmasq)

Trying to narrow down what triggers it, since I have never been able to reproduce it. There's also a chance that this error has always been there, just that recent dnsmasq changes makes them get logged now rather than just silently occurring. Recent dnsmasq received some changes around the code that generates this error message.

 

[owine]

Could be, wasn't sure who was who. Can you PM me the SOA record that seemed to trigger it? Wondering if maybe that SOA might be pointing at a private IP instead of a public one, causing the issue.

Just sent a paste with some dnsmasq and Wireshark data. Can capture more if it helps.

I must say, the enhancements to the Adaptive QoS->Classification page, tracked connections are great.
If you have installed 384.10 and haven't gone to that page - go. Also use the Filter by Device drop down. Nice to watch what various devices are "chattering" about.

As a side, I re-installed the latest FreshJR mod. Nice how it integrates with the Classification page. A pleasant surprise.

Nice job Merlin and FreshJR.

PS: Folks, just a gentle reminder...Easy enough to send a few $ to Merlin to thank him for his efforts. At least buy him a beer!

Confirmed, the lighttpd modules are missing for the RT-AX88U build.

Thanks for your work,I am really looking forward to using Merlin on my AX88U.

No matter what I try (using a HE tunnel), I'm unable to reproduce this problem at all. There's not enough info logged by dnsmasq to determine what went wrong (the error message only indicates that dnsmasq was unable to send an UDP packet to the destination), so I have absolutely no idea what is triggering this, only that it seems specific to IPv6.

Are you using 1.1.1.1 or the IPv6 addresses ?

[bbunge]

Did a dirty flash on AC66U_B1 over 384.9 after removing Stubby/Entware. Experienced very reduced download speed testing with DNS Reports speed test. Did Factory Reset and manually configured. Download speed returned to prior values. Added amtm, formatted thumb drive to EXT2, added swap, entware and stubby. Not using IPV6. Configured OpenVPN server (plan to test while I'm out today). Router seems to be working well with no worrying log entries.

Edit: Client list still seems to not update but is not a show stopper for me.

You know what, try a different DNS server, like Google's or your ISP. I tried Cloudflare and found that their implementation was incomplete or lacking. Kept giving me DNSSEC errors.

 

[vdemarco]

i have the beta, ipv6 and dnsfiltering on

opvpn doesnt really work for me, i am thinking that ipv6 is causing the issue.

when i got vpn to work i couldnt ping other devices in the network at home

Although I unchecked dns query and only checked ping on Network monitoring, router is still sending dns query to dns.msftncsi.com.

Hello Odkrys
Did you check your ipsec IKEv2 script with the 384.10 beta?
Does the ipsec vpn IKEv2 server runs fine without modification?
Thanks for time

384.10 Beta 2 is now available.

Exceptionally, beta 2 does come with some new features, notably the reworked Classification page. In addition to performance improvements, you can now filter the list in real-time by entering part of a string in any of the filter fields (you can even filter two fields at a time). Also some extra info is now shown when hovering entry fields.

In addition to the details mentioned in the first post, please test the revamped Classification page as well.

Regarding the error messages generated by dnsmasq under IPv6: there are no new development. I am still unable to reproduce the issue, and I have no idea what is triggering it. I suspect it has to do with a recent change in dnsmasq. I might end up just moving the error message to debug priority for the final release for the time being.

Just loaded beta2 and seems working fine.... so far.
Uptime 0 days 0 hours 11 minute(s) 16 seconds

Thanks!!!

 

[L&LD]

I have been using the Beta2 for almost exactly 2 HRS now. (Note: dirty upgrade over Beta1).

Did a dslreports.com/speedtest and am seeing the fastest upload speed ever from the RT-AC3100.

Where before I was seeing around 775Mbps on upload, I just got a speed of 945Mbps. The first CPU core was pegged at around 97%, but this is a huge improvement.

Note too that there are no 'features' presently enabled with the testing above.

Wonder what the final version (further tweaking) will be able to achieve.

Okay, I'll do a reboot and see if this is repeatable later tonight.

Is anyone else seeing this so far? Are the quad-core 1.8GHz routers getting increases too?

There's not enough info logged by dnsmasq to determine what went wrong (the error message only indicates that dnsmasq was unable to send an UDP packet to the destination), so I have absolutely no idea what is triggering this, only that it seems specific to IPv6.

I have found it seems to be related to OpenVPN Client and the DNS configuration. I use IPV6.

I'm unable to locate the filter fields. FYI.
