Hi Merlin, is 380.68 affected by this Dnsmasq flaw: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/02/dnsmasq_flaws/
Do you mean the NAT loopback? Do you have AiProtection/Adaptive QoS or Traffic Analyzer on? I remember that RMerlin says that we should use Asus NAT loopback if we have/had any of those features on.
Just found this:Is this still true? I can´t find any information about.
- CHANGED: Updated dnsmasq to 2.78 (contains a number of
security fixes).
- FIXED: rstats could crash at start time in some situations.
- FIXED: QOS Scheduler would revert back to sfq after you had
re-enabled QOS while (fq_)codel was already selected.
- FIXED: Missing tabs on the Parental Control page.
- FIXED: Realtek port status wouldn't auto-refresh on the Sysinfo
page.
- FIXED: Incorrect sort by remaining time on the DHCP Lease page.
- FIXED: Some LAN clients couldn't be added to the TOR redirected
client list.
Hmmm... I'm on 380.67 and all works well so usually it's better not to upgrade, unless there are security fixes of course so now I wonder if I should upgrade. If I upgrade, will all settings remain? Because intructions says it is NOT recommended to restore settings saved under a different firmware version. Settings changed after initial setup are IP Pool start/end addresses, some manually assigned IPs, a few customs icons like our iRobot Roomba and Time Scheduling.Asuswrt-Merlin 380.68_4 is now available, contains various fixes including an update to dnsmasq 2.78 which resolves a number of security vulnerabilities.

Thank you for the continued hard work Marlin. Do you have an eta on when you might be able to update OpenVPN to the latest version, 2.4.4? Will it be in a minor version update, or will we have to wait for the next major update? Keep up the good work

Disable 1 by 1 and find out?I wonder if it the AiProtection - Network Protection cashing it?
I have everything enabled;
-Malicious Sites Blocking
-Vulnerability Protection
-Infected Device Prevention and Blocking
Is there a logical explanation for this Merlin? I
After the update on my AC87U (380.68_4) I get the following to see:
