[Preview] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.63 alpha builds are available

What type of traffic is "net control packets"?

Only Trend Micro knows for sure. The traffic in this category matches two of their traffic categories, 9 and 20:

9,Network Management
20,Network Protocols

My guess is, these are TCP packets (SYN, ACK, etc...) and ICMP. Possibly other types as well, but there is no way to know what these two generic categories are.

2. Would it be possible to rather sort the columns on the right by data usage? So most used is on top and least at the bottom?

Doing so means you would lose the priority information. Traffic is currently shown by priority, starting from the highest. This is the display that makes the most sense, since it's a legend for the chart (generated by the chart itself), not an independent list.

Anyone else having issues connecting to the OpenVPN server with 380.63_alpha2-gc90170a ? I didn't try with the previous alpha but haven't been able to connect to the server running on the AC87U. The client still works fine. Nothing out of the ordinary in the system log.

Nothing has changed in OpenVPN in quite a while, and I also use it almost on a daily basis. Increase the log verbosity, and look at the log content during a connection attempt.

My bad, it was the IP address that was wrong, doesn't look like my IP address updated on the network map page when I changed back to it. Also found out my custom ddns script was busted too. Got it fixed up now.
