GT-AX6000 - Memory Leak? Hacked?

[AntonK]

No, AiProtection 100% off.

If I recall correctly I read it can slow down connections (messes with Flow Cache and/or Runner).
Privacy wise I'm not concerned, I'am tracked 24/7 by my phone, apps, browser, etc, so 1 more tracking wouldn't hurt that much, but I don't want any hog slowing down my speeds (600/600).

Do you advice otherwise?

I'm not a technician guy like many others here, but if you're getting infected and re-infected with something, possibly coming from LAN devices, AI protection is meant to combat (or help combat) that sort of activity. I don't believe Flow Cache / Runner are effected by AI Protection.

I have the same router and the same internet speeds and AiProtection works fine and in no way slows anything down or messes with those settings.

I was also interested in AiProtection eventual actions, but... next time.

Ai protection eats ram that is about all , on or off makes no dif in line speed

Thanks for your inputs regarding AiProtetcion.
If it not "harmfull" regarding router/line performance, then I may give it a chance.
Privacy wise is not something that I "like"; but I can live with it.

For what I've read here in the forums, is looks like its not a much beloved feature...

Thanks once again.

I believed SSH was pretty safe, I use it mostly to check TOP (for the abnormal behaviour on the last months and previous hacks), and to check trifles like AMTM, added cronjobs, ARP table, etc.
I do also often use winSCP to check for something abnormal on scripts or ovpn (given my last hack experience).
Should I do something other way?

Well - think about this...

every service you open up on your router exposes your bastion/fortress...

1) SSH - fairly secure perhaps...
2) VPN host - could be secure, but depends on how it's configured
3) USB/Samba Host - yeah, getting warmer...

It's all about reducing the threat surface - can't hack something that isn't running...

Consider perhaps running something behind the router - could be something as simple as a RPi - OVPN/WG host can run there, along with a SSH jump in box, and SSH there is the big-boy version with OpenSSH, not dropbear... and on an RPi, you can run a much newer version of Samba with more capability and better security.

Thanks for your time SFX

AiProtection enabled, as far as I can tell I don't see any noticeable speed drop (Runner and Flow Cache remained enabled)
I'm not (that) crazy, I remembered reading AiProtection was not compatible with those speed boosters (example 1 - example 2)

Those two bad processes are still "vanished", I look several times a day but no news yet.

Please, don't jump all over me, I know that unused ram is wasted ram.

this is a myth fabricated by morons in the early vista days justifying systems with 4 or less GB ram, wasted ram is having 100% attributed to pointless processes that provide no benefit or function to the device.

I'm not (that) crazy, I remembered reading AiProtection was not compatible with those speed boosters (example 1 - example 2)

it operates just fine with them.

Your example 1 is totally unrelated to AiProtection, example 2 depends on the hardware used. GT-AX6000 can handle 600Mbps ISP with AiProtection enabled without too much performance impact.
