Thank you so much! Very timed update! I was going to do a complete refresh. No I have no problems and havent had, but want to start from scratch again now that I really know what I want on the router.

It's great to have your brand new firmware version as a starting point to the optimized "super setup"!

Thank you Voxel for all your work!

Edge case, for people with 2 x USB external drives: /dev/sda in mounted as sdb and /dev/sdb si mounted as sda - this reverse mounting prevents the dlna media server to detect any of the drives.
Workaround: keep rebooting OR unplug/plug the drives until mounting scripts get's it right.

Thank you so much @Voxel and @kamoj! The care you take for your users is so damn admirable. The love and pride you have for your creations to be nothing but the best is something I never ever experienced before. Money cant buy the satisfaction to be the end user of your work.

Just one word: Genius

Ha-ha, I know .

P.S.
Well. Out of topic but seriously. The world is changed. Now and forever. This COVID... In my deep opinion that any government of any country just does not know what to do with all of this. People are tired with with all these lockdowns, limitations, etc. We have to help each other w/o their official "help". The only way is to share our experience, to connect each other, to support each other w/o control of state-mongers who care first of all of their interests, rating, profits etc. The only way of connecting people is Internet now. So it should be fast, stable and not controllable by politician/religion. Help each other. If I can do something for this - it is good.

P.P.S
My condolence to citizens of Nice first of all. I was there.... Paris, Lyon. All of this is crazy...

Stay safe,
Voxel.

Wow, just a HUGE THANKS @Voxel for the firmware, @kamoj for the add-on and @HELLO_wORLD for aegis firewall! All your combined work, plus my pihole w/unbound, keeps this little network humming along at breakneck speeds and with security i could not have matched without you all. I have learned so much here and cannot thank you enough for the time and effort you have put into these projects!
