[TUTORIAL] Native Transmission on asuswrt routers through optware

[ady72]

My firmware version is 3.0.0.4.266.23 merlin

On first router i have forwarded port 9095 - 9092 and 51413 to the ASUS RT.
Than i put my QNAP router on DMZ zone that will use both 9092 and 51413 for transmission on board.

So port 9095 is "free"

Could be Qnap Nas with transmission the problem?

 

[ady72]

That's right...solve the problem.
Using DMZ zone will send all ports to IP address selected and not to Transmission daemon on router.
I've delete it and everything works well...
I will use port forwarding to select port to forward to nas !!!

Now i'm very happy

Thanks a lot to TeHashX for his great support and disponibility !!!!

firewall-start issue

I don't know what am I doing wrong but after restarting the /jffs/scripts/firewall-start file disappears and its content is not taken into concideration. Adding manually rules to iptables works fine.
thanks
Leo

Did you make it executable?

# chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/firewall-start

Of course.
It seems that the file is deleted before it could be run.

 

[TeHashX]

Your disk is formatted fat32 or ntfs? Did you enabled jffs?

Disk is formatted ext3, jffs enabled.

 

[TeHashX]

Post here the next commands output

ls -l /jffs/scripts

and

mount

admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# ls -l /jffs/scripts

I have 2 partitions on my external drive, sda2 is not in use, i.e. empty.

Your jffs partition is empty, set Format JFFS partition at next boot "yes" under http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_System_Content.asp and reboot router, then try again:

wget -c -O /jffs/scripts/firewall-start http://tinyurl.com/firewall-start
chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/firewall-start
reboot

If not working, try to make a new folder on jffs partition and see if survive after reboot

mkdir test /jffs/scripts/
reboot

I have created a sub-dir.

The dir and the file survived the reboot.
I think only files located in the /script dir have been run, I had to manually
run it.

 

[TeHashX]

Probably you are doing something wrong, try to manualy create firewall-start script
# ipkg install nano
# nano /jffs/scripts/firewall-start
and paste this lines

#!/bin/sh
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 9091 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 51413 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --destination-port 51413 -j ACCEPT

Save with Ctrl-O / Enter / Exit with Ctrl-X
# reboot

 

[leo]

Thanks a lot! This way worked like a charm!
Just one more question. What do you think, can this script run on RT-N66U or there is no chance at all?

Hi,

Looking into your posting above:

admin@RT-N66U:/# cd jffs/
admin@RT-N66U:/jffs# ls -l
drwxr-xr-x    2 admin    root             0 Jan  1  2011 configs
drwxr-xr-x    3 admin    root             0 Feb 25 13:42 scripts
admin@RT-N66U:/jffs# cd scripts/
admin@RT-N66U:/jffs/scripts# ls -l
drwxrwxrwx    2 admin    root             0 Feb 25 13:43 test
admin@RT-N66U:/jffs/scripts# cd test/
admin@RT-N66U:/jffs/scripts/test# ls -l
-rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root           189 Feb 25 13:43 firewall-start
admin@RT-N66U:/jffs/scripts/test# sh ./firewall-start 
admin@RT-N66U:/jffs/scripts/test#

Shows that you stored the 'firewall-start' script in a subfolder 'test' and not in the 'scripts' folder itself.

Now you have stored the 'firewall-start' script in the 'scripts' folder and it works.

Do you get the difference?

With kind regards
Joe

I will take a look, no promises.

I will take a look, no promises.

isn't "in that case you'll get a basic GUI that will enable you to choose a torrent file or folder and the destination where it should be expanded."
already possible?

I am trying to reconfigure Transmission with entware. It shouldn't be that different from optware.

 

[morfy]

help me: daemon not start:

Starting transmission-daemon:.[FAILED]

why?
I tried to reinstall and not working!

 

[TeHashX]

If you followed the guide exactly, should work, maybe your usb drive is fat32 or ntfs?
