Version 1.4.3 Released 18-Jun-2024

This is a minor release to help FlexQoS stay alive a little bit longer as its usefulness and compatibility continue to decline in the face of progress.

FlexQos is a lifesaver. Why would you say its usefulness is declining? Thank you for making it happen and supporting it.

A few months ago...there was an update to the Trend Micro signature that temporarily messed up the traffic classification. This was later fixed by another update and FlexQoS has been working flawlessly since.

Post in thread 'FlexQoS 1.4.3 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS' https://www.snbforums.com/threads/f...ent-script-for-adaptive-qos.90645/post-914449

I agree with you 100% on FlexQoS being a lifesaver for my setup as well.

Just curious if anyone running custom iptables rules with Flow Cache Control set to "Auto" noticed that the Flow Cache now remains enabled under Tools?

I can set FC control to "On" under FlexQoS tab but just curious if anyone else is seeing the same thing?

It might be my USB is going bad since I had a separate issue with it. I do have a replacement ssd coming my way to replace my USB but I was wondering if anyone has noticed this?

Thanks!

What are your defined upload/download bandwidths? If either is above 400 Mbit, FC won’t be turned off in auto mode.

Thanks for the reply back and additional info...my defined speeds are only 100/10 Mbps.

I believe the recent fw update might have changed something (possibly QoS related) but I can't confirm this. The new SSD is up and running and the same thing is going on.

Thanks again!

See if something else has disabled flow cache during boot. Auto only works if this value is 0.

Code:

nvram get fc_disable

I switched FC control mode from On to Auto while using iptables rules and FC went from Disabled to Enabled. I than ran the command and got the following output:

Is there any FlexQoS message in the system log during that restart?

Also what’s the status of /bin/fc status before and after?

Thanks again for the continued support with FlexQoS.

May I ask what might have changed?

I think eventually with all the future/upcoming fw changes, I will need to switch to CAKES-QOS but in the meantime I really do appreciate the assistance!!!

The QoS page multiplies and divides by 1024 when you change the bandwidth numbers. It can result in a decimal value, which shell scripting doesn’t like.
