Kamoj Kamoj add-on V5 for Netgear R7800 X4S and R9000 X10

[wireless82]

Hi, the kamoj plugin link included in the first post is compatible with last Voxel's firmware V1.0.2.80.5SF? Or, what is the correct kamoj version to download? I dont find the plugin in the Voxel site, as I supposed (wrongly I think )
I've already tried to install the plugin in the first post but I noticed some strange things (amber led on wan, no adguard / wireguard feature, stubby activated only after several clicks on it).

 

[kamoj]

Yes, this version is in large still compatible with latest Voxel,
but much has happened since the add-on was released as a Christmas gift.
Maybe there will be another official release for/before this Christmas as well!

Here you can read about current development:

Hi kamoj,
thanks for your fast reply. I had already seen the link you posted, but it seems only for beta testers and that generally means "knowledges of what you will do, time and risk of having problems". That's why I have not asked to be one of them... my r7800 is the main home router, it has to be stable and maintanable if I dont want to be killed by my very patient wife which named it "the four-horned box" (maybe I should buy another one for testing, I let you imagine what it means in a family).
I will try once again the stable version (if I may, call it stable as Voxel suggested somewhere, I need some time to understand the difference between the official v5 beta e the beta testing program of the v5.x ) even if the problem I had and named (menù missed) surprised me (can I report you some log of the install?)
Keep going with this good work!!!!

I think if you want to use Kamojs addon allready you should use the newer version. Not just because all functionalites but it is as Kamoj said before allot more testet, and few bugs if any. And to my knowledge not any critical bug that would make your wife dangerous for you.

The "official" add-on v5 in this thread is a BETA version as well .
The first line of this topic is:
Introduction:

THIS IS A BETA VERSION

This topic's version is much less tested (by me, that is - I have no idea of how many lurking users there are) than the 5.4beta "stable master staging".

A big difference is that I do not support or update this version.
One reason for the new v5.4b still being a beta is that I don't have time to give much user support,
and expect beta testers to think twice before they ask for help, and at least try to find the culprit - if any.
I think it's quite fair that not only my time is used, but that add-on users help with the development,
and as it's free both of charge and any type of protection.

I'm glad for your message and your "thanks", and hope you will find a "stable" version giving you the functionality you need.
Else now in "Black Week/Friday" there are many good router offers out there!

Stay safe

I don't have the R9000 myself for testing, but I know that it's port 1 and 2 are to be used for bonding etc,
so I advice you to test and not use port 1 and 2 in the R9000 for connecting R7800.

And as in many post - don't use the WAN-port in the R7800 when used as AP.

r7800's up for 4 days latest Kamoj Voxel on latest netgear.. The hardware was ALWAYS %100! .. .

the issue was resolved by an;

nvram default,
nvram commit
reboot ;
unselecting HT160, (for 2 days),

and disabling http://<router IP>/debug.htm disable Enable 11k.. ....

After 2 days reenabled HT160 ...

all units fully functional and no issues; what-so-ever ...

I hope this helps others as these units were nearly garbage in t
terms of function and now I have proven a solution ...

THANK EVERYONE, I can rest now.. as I reported my findings to the community

Hello once more,
Second post in a row for me.
One big thank you for the add on.
I installed Voxel firmware last night and I just installed the addon in order to enable HDD spin down.
You guys are great and totally raise our routers to a new level with your work.

I have one silly question: I try to enable HDD Spin down but when I check it and selecting 20min the logon window pops up and immediately disappears with Chrome. With Opera I can enter my password and username but then it asks me to enter the routers serial to reset password.
What I do wrong?
Thanks once more

 

[kamoj]

Welcome and thank yo for sharing your experience!
You do nothing wrong...

Try this (from the kamoj FAQ):

Q: As soon as I open or interact with OpenVPN or DNS Privacy/Ad-Blocking I get a admin/password request
pop up which only goes away after I click cancel, and I'm sent to the password reset page.
I have tried different browsers and privacy modes with same issue.

A: That problem others have even with Netgear stock firmware (You can search Netgear forum a.o.).
Netgear has had many problems with different character sets through the years and their html code is a
"jungle" of tries to fix it.
I have not been able to correct the issue in the add-on yet - sorry!
A solution is to CHANGE password (NOT just enter your old credentials), or it will stay bad until you do.
Use a password without non-alphanumeric characters. Especially "$" should be avoided.
You should try to not use any of these characters in the password:
"Non-English-characters,$,!, <, >, @, %, *,?, .,+,-,/,|,\,&,=,',",`,´"
If it starts working then add "strange" characters one by one till you find out the "bad" one.

I have one silly question: I try to enable HDD Spin down but when I check it and selecting 20min the logon window pops up and immediately disappears with Chrome. With Opera I can enter my password and username but then it asks me to enter the routers serial to reset password.

Which antennas are which group? I’m looking and can’t find it yet.

Thank you very much for your support!!
I just changed my router's password replacing it with a 20 character password not using any symbols.
I upgraded to Voxel's firmware 1.0.2.80.7 and then reinstalled the add-on.
It is working perfectly now.
I have a Seagate Backup Plus Hub Desktop 8TB and even its Seagate led goes off after 10 minutes.
Waking the disk up is also very fast so I'm really happy about this new feature.

Hello all,

i am running kamoj v5.0 on my Netgear r9000 with Voxel V1.0.4.46HF since two days and need to highlight this game changing addon to break the big firewall! It works fine with Astrill. Just copy the .ovpn file content (from member - vpn support section on Astrill website) into the addon GUI with the following modification:

Remove these lines:
max-routes
link-mtu
block-outside-dns
verb

Add these lines:
data-ciphers AES-256-CBC:AES-256-GCM
allow-compression yes
verb 4

Thanks kamoj for your support and this great addon!

Hi

I'm running 5.3b30 and am intrigued as to the function of "Route To Other Net (E.g. Modem in NAT Off/Bridge Mode)" function under Kamoj Menu/Settings.
The "IP to route " field is greyed out, as are the Ok and Reset buttons underneath and I can't fathom how to ungrey them, if that's a word. I scanned the readme and the thread OP but can't find any reference to it.

I'm hoping that it's a way for my router, that is acting as an AP (but not in AP-only mode), can route to the internet so that I can download the latest Kamoj add-on without fiddling about with USB sticks. ;-)

 

[kamoj]

Sorry, but the function is not there yet.
It was just a place holder and way to see how much interest there was - not much.

LOL.
But was my guess at the "Look at what you could have won" functionality anywhere near close? I think it'd be very handy. I suppose I could just add a manual static route if that is possible ...

When Netgear releases a firmware must we, flash Netgear, Voxel and then Kamoj or do we flash Voxel and Kamoj.

Thank you snk

Hello,
Just flash your router with Voxel's firmware, not the Netgear one. Voxel's firmware has everything you need.
Then install Kamoj's add-on, and you'll be fine

 

[kamoj]

You should do nothing when Netgear release new firmware.
But after you update Voxel firmware you must install the Kamoj add-on again.
(No add-on settings are lost though)!

[Warlord1981]

Thank you Kamoj for this great addon!

After installing it today (latest version) I noticed that Disk Usage is constantly at 100% when dnscrypt v2 is selected. (Flash Usage at 86.7% - 111/128MB)
When dnscrypt v2 is not selected it is at 63.5% which still seems high compared to your screenshot on first page.

I only have Voxel's latest f/w, SSH enabled and Entware on a USB Stick (no packages installed yet).

Also when we use one of DNS Encryption methods, do we also have to enter DNS IP on the Internet Setup page or there is no need to? I prefer Quad9.
Eitherway, when dnscrypt v2 is enabled to block ads, I notice that no ads are blocked. (All providers ticked - tested on Edge)

 

[kamoj]

Thank you for your support!

This version of the kamoj add-on is not compatible with the DNSCrypt version in latest Voxel R7800 (1.0.2.82.1SF) and R9000 (1.0.4.46HF).
You must go back to Voxel 1.0.2.81.1SF / 1.0.4.46HF to get compatibility.
The reason is DNSCrypt decided to become politically correct and changed e.g. blacklist to blocklist.
So either you stay with older Voxel release, or don't use the add-on to control DNSCrypt.

There is a addon in beta-testing phase, including adaption to new DNSCrypt, but I can not say when it will become official.
