I don't come from an older version of Merlin, the version I installed is the first installation.
However I try a factory reset.
 
I don't come from an older version of Merlin, the version I installed is the first installation.
However I try a factory reset.
Ok good luck.... the problem is not the malware script anyway.... thats just behaving according to what the router is telling it.
 
I discovered where is the problem!
After a factory reset I restored the settings of the router to connect via ssh.
I connected to the router by ssh and I gave the command
Code:
admin@RT-AC68U:/tmp/home/root# ipset -v
ipset v6.29, protocol version: 6
the version of ipset is 6.29

After this i restore the jffs partition, rI rebooted rhe router and I gave the command
Code:
ipset -v
ipset v4.5, protocol version 4.
ipset v4.5: Kernel ip_set module is of protocol version 6.I'm of protocol version 4.
Please upgrade your kernel and/or ipset(8) utillity.
and i obtained the first error.
I can understand the the problem is the installation of Entware

Did you install the correct version of entware?... there is a version for MIPS routers and one for ARM routers.... you need the ARM version for your AC68U
 
I installed mc, and the package was downloaded from the arm repository.
However i just remove ipset4 using the command you suggested.
Now I'm running the script and seem it is running,

Ah ok....if you had the entware ipset4 utility package installed that would be the cause..... you don't need this as it is already in the firmware (for ipset6)
 
I didn't install ipset4 package, it was installed automatically by the installation of entware.
I have an other question to which I need an answer, how can I set the script so that start on boot of the router.
I thought to add the script in /jffs/scripts but it does not run on boot start.
The other solution I thought is to add the scritp in admin@RT-AC68U:/tmp/mnt/sda1/entware-ng.arm/etc/init.d
What is the correct way?

The wiki at: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Using-ipset gives the recommended method for starting it on boot using merlin firmware. You need to create/edit the /jffs/scripts/services-start script.
Here is a sample of my services-start, which runs the malware-block script and schedules it to run & update every day at 11:45am & pm.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
/jffs/scripts/malware-block
# Schedule the malware-block to run every day at 11:45am/pm
cru a malware-filter "45 11,23 * * * /jffs/scripts/malware-block"
 
@myname how did you end up with ipset4 on that model ? did you have an old /jffs/ that was from another brand or something ? or was it and old jffs from before it got updated ?

@myname how did you end up with ipset4 on that model ? did you have an old /jffs/ that was from another brand or something ? or was it and old jffs from before it got updated ?

Hello swetoast,
I end up with ipset4 installing enteware. Non I didn't have any old jffs on my router, I installed Merlin 380.65 for the first time. I solved uninstalling the ipset4, and after this everything goes well.
 
hehe yeah dont install ipset via entware :) thats just not good at all there is a perfectly fine ipset shipped with the firmware, my scripts sorts themselves if they need something installed etc.
 
The wiki at: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Using-ipset gives the recommended method for starting it on boot using merlin firmware. You need to create/edit the /jffs/scripts/services-start script.

Hello Cedarhillguy, installng entware, there is a script services-start, I added the line pointing to my scrips malware-block.sh, and I solved.
Thaks.
 
wtf no it should not unless you used some goofy guide to install instead of the official way, basically it should only install

Configuring ldconfig.
Configuring libgcc.
Configuring libc.
Configuring libssp.
Configuring findutils.

and OPKG

@myname entware isnt a requirement for my scripts
 
urgh that site is shirt imho outdated crap always ask before doing random guides who knows what your installing if you keep that up.

my recommendation is to redo your /jffs/ and entware installation to ensure your doing it right
