[SOLVED] Blocking specific incoming IP addresses

[outrage_uk]

No i wasn't trying it with sh:

admin@RT-AC68U:/jffs/scripts# dos2unix firewall-start
-sh: dos2unix: not found

With sh it gives this:

admin@RT-AC68U:/jffs/scripts# sh dos2unix firewall-start
sh: can't open 'dos2unix'

Are you still on .56_2 or later? It wasn't added until then.

 

[outrage_uk]

Yes, im running 378.56_2.

I have edited the firewall-start file with the built in vi editor (vi firewall-start), deleted the ^M (pressing x) and saved (pressing ZZ), which seems to work fine now. Annoying how Notepad++ saving in Unix format seemingly doesn't work.

I'm sure there will be a way for the firewall-start script to call for a file with blocked IP addresses - similar to this: https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/bl...sses-using-iptables-firewall-in-debianubuntu/, but I have no idea how to do that

Thanks for your time and pointing me in the right direction.

Hmm....seems @RMerlin needs to double check that commit.

Beat me to it as I was typing....

Brute force method.....open in vi and delete the ^M's.... or

cd /jffs/scripts
cat firewall-start | tr -d "\r" > firewall-start.tmp
mv firewall-start.tmp firewall-start

or, there's a sed command I don't remember this late

dos2unix is there for me.

Ok...I'm stumped then for this user

Next question would be:

nvram get buildno
nvram get extendno

I've seen quite a few users confusing 378.56 Beta 2 with 378.56_2.

Then I don't know why dos2unix is missing in your build. Could be a model-specific issue that was only fixed in the following builds - code trees might have been out of sync.
