Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.49SF

[fantom]

Sorry, I am running an OpenVPN client at the moment:
Voxels 49SF: (Without OpenVPN client the IRQ 264 are bound to cpu1.)

Thx. I guess wifi0 was moved to CPU1 after boot: there are some leftover interrupts on COU0 during the initial boot.

this might be a dumb question, does this firmware use UCI? trying to access my modem following https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/access.modem.through.nat and struggling to understand the config layout, does not look like any OpenWRT i've seen (all more recent versions i assume - lede and gargoyle).

 

[kamoj]

No question is stupid. There are a number of scripts concerning UCI in the R7800 standard and Voxel FW.
Don't know what you want really.
But if you just want to login via telnet, it is easy to enable:
http://routerlogin.net/debug.htm
(This is working with Netgear stock FW and Voxel FW).

hmm...i have ssh access already, but i'm used to modifying /etc/config/network and /etc/config/firewall, and they don't exist in voxel's firmware.

 

[kamoj]

Netgear has made a shell around the firewall, so some tricks need to be applied to use it.
Please read about firewall here and in Voxel "readme" documents: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/custom-firmware-build-for-r7800-v-1-0-2-44sf.42882/
"d. Possibility to use your own iptables rules w/o modification of /usr/sbin/net-wall script. If you have /root/firewall-start.sh script (executable) with your iptable commands it will be called automatically at the end of “net-wall start” command."

i'm trying to follow: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/...raw_iptables_variant_required_for_pppoe_setup

i managed to get a second ip address assigned to ethwan, but all the chains are named differently to what the OpenWRT wiki says and I'm not sure which corresponds to which.

 

[kamoj]

I suggest you start another thread about this, to get more help/attention than in this specific Voxel FW "49SF".

Is there any way to enable all WAN DNS queries over TLS? https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/dns-over-tls/

 

[DC OB]

How do I change the default ntp server from nsone.netgear.com to something else? Thanks you so much for you great work, love it

Maybe dnscrypt will do for you!

Thanks Mister.

You can't. The configurable servers are not used. Netgear have some hard-coded servers they use.
What you can do is to start another ntp-client that connects to a server (+backup) of your choice.
Example code:

          /etc/init.d/ntpclient stop
          /usr/sbin/ntpclient -s -h pool.ntp.org -b 216.239.35.0
          /bin/sleep 4
          /etc/init.d/ntpclient start

Thanks looks like the packaged version of dnscrypt-proxy is not 2.0, going to try and manually upgrade it 2.0.

Wow, I'm looking forward to your (success) report!

I know.

There are no any differences in the stock 1.0.2.46 vs 1.0.2.44 except a bit strange for me OpenVPN client. The rest is identical.

It will be included into my builds later when dnscrypt development team will release more tested and stable version. Currently they release 2.0 too often:

https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/releases

Stability first of all.

Yes, I was able to cross compile and get it running on R7800. I'm testing it now. I'll report back shortly.
