I don't see these with my AX88U .14 beta2. Skynet is blocking your router's "outbound" connection to IP 37.120.147.2. What is the result of "firewall stats search ip 37.120.147.2 20" ?

I have an Anonymous DNS set as a backup resolver for dnscrypt-proxy.

If I re-enable Skynet, it brings my entire router and network to its knees. I counted over 300 Outbound blocks in 5 seconds. I think that is trying to resolve an address via DNS? Erk.

I thought 443/udp looked odd. Don’t know much about dnscrypt though. Certainly would explain bringing down your network if dns isn’t working.

you can whitelist if you know what it really is:
37.120.147.2 is in set Skynet-BlockedRanges.

That IP is in the blocked range. Question is, why is your router initiating a connection to that IP? Like what @dave14305 said, you can whitelist if you trust it. Try to restart skynet then update Banmalware.

I removed the Anonymous DNS relay in Las Vegas to solve it.

Code:

anon-cs-usnv
Anonymized DNS relay hosted in US - Las Vegas, NV provided by https://cryptostorm.is/

sdns://gRAzNy4xMjAuMTQ3LjI6NDQz

https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-resolvers/blob/master/v2/relays.md
More info.
https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Anonymized-DNS

Rather than whitellist it, I need to get into the dnscrypt-proxy thread or the github and learn why an anonymous DNS relay is acting up.

I no longer see the entry present on any lists, but the reason for blacklisting I assume is due to it being on the same CIDR range as Cryptostorm's VPN services which someone was probably using to port scan etc.

Also I am unable to whitelist these entries by default due to how they are listed (sdns entries)

Thank you Adamm. My banmalware ran at 0425 and the blacklist was there, ran again manually about 0725 and it was removed. Changed the anonymous dns proxy back to the Las Vegas, NV, restarted dnscrypt-proxy and all is well.

It is dramatic when a DNS server of any kind, direct or relay, is blocked in Skynet, hundreds of outbound requests per second.

Butterfly Bones · Nov 25, 2019

Well, something changed again and the outbound blocks came back using the anon-cs-usnv. My primary dns relay works fine and is closer to me, but I wanted a backup, thus the one in NV.

I'm not going to chase this down, I'll use a dns relay that is farther away as a backup.

Yes, something else is going on, the IP is not even in the banmalware blaclkist.

Yeah, you can say that for certain! With this issue on anonymous dns resolver, I unearthed some code even RMerlin had never seen and did some real sleuth work to find it.

Seems like your "/jffs/.sys/AiProtectionMonitor/AiProtectionMonitor.db" database exists (AiProtect logs) but is either empty or formatted differently.

I am going to assume the former and say the simple solution would be to delete the file followed by a reboot so it regenerates.

Hi Adamm,

I don’t remember if I replied but I wanted to say thank you and that your solution worked.

I Appreciate the help.

Unless there is a native bash way to convert these stamps unfortunately I won't be able to support them.

Nice find, I didn't realize the stamps were just base64 encoded strings, I assumed it was some propitiatory format. I guess support can be added then

Russian hackers are scanning your IP for open ports. skynet is blocking them. No worries.

Run this command for any IP you wonder about in your logs:

Code:

firewall stats search ip 81.22.45.250

It’s still going on after so many hours. Will it ever stop? Now it’s coming from different IPs.

Hi, @Adamm.

This script is awesome!

BTW, I have multiple IoT devices that I blocked all internet traffic. But raises some issues, regarding the hardcoded NTP server that they have and are not able to reach with this binary setup. Would you be able to add the feature to forward all NTP traffic to a specific LAN IP address, please?

As well for DNS traffic as many devices uses Google 8.8.8.8 DNS server in a hardcoded way, please?

Thanks!

If you are referring to the IOT blocking feature, we allow port "123" (NTP) by default if no port list is specified in the config.

In reference to forwarding all NTP traffic to a specific LAN address, this functionality is already included in Merlins firmware by forcing all NTP traffic to the local NTP server.

This is also already included in the firmware via the "DNSFilter" feature.
