VPN director issue on RT-AC86U (386.14 Merlin FW)

[Dome01]

Hello,
I have an ASUS RT-AC86U running on 386.14 Merlin release.
Starting from this last update I am no longer able to create new VPN director rules...
When I create for example a new rule to redirect the traffic on WAN for a specific internal IP, the rule will be created but "vanishes" after I press APPLY button.
I have created 5 OVPN clients and use VPN director to redirect all my Internet traffic towards them in priority order (I use less prio OVPN clients as backup for high prio OVPN ones).
For specific internal devices I need instead to redirect traffic directly on the WAN as shown in pic attached.

I have already created other similar rules which work successfully but starting from 386.14 release I can't add other ones

Could you help me please?

Out of space on /jffs?

df -h /jffs

AFAIK, these are stored in /jffs.

cat /jffs/openvpn/vpndirector_rulelist

Might want to check nvram as well in case adding a rule caused an update/addition there as well (nvram seems much more likely to be exhausted than jffs anyway).

nvram show >/dev/null

Ah..
Could you help me to check that?
Thank you eibgrad

Just use the commands I suggested from an ssh session on the router.

Ok eibgrad, I will try and I'll let you know

Hello eibgrad,

Apologize for my late answer, I had not free time before.
Below the outcomes of commands you suggested:

ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC86U 386.14_0 Sat Jul 20 17:12:47 UTC 2024
MasterAdminPDE@RT-AC86U-EDC8-PDEnet:/tmp/home/root# df -h /jffs
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mtdblock9 47.0M 36.2M 10.8M 77% /jffs
MasterAdminPDE@RT-AC86U-EDC8-PDEnet:/tmp/home/root# nvram show >/dev/null
size: 85780 bytes (45292 left)

In addition I see, on administration tools, system register, the following repetitive message:

Sep 28 17:08:23 kernel: jffs2: Argh. No free space left for GC. nr_erasing_blocks is 0. nr_free_blocks is 0. (erasableempty: yes, erasingempty: yes, erasependingempty: yes)

Please let me know
Thank you

RT-AC-86U - Help with No Free Space Left for GC (Solved for now)

Hello SNB land. Long a Merling fan - but I have this 86U that's still on Asus code - version 384.32799 - and then to 384.45149. Last few days I'm getting this in the logs - and Google hasn't helped much. Via telnet - nothing unusual about JFFS - everything seems OK. But I'm not a good Linux...

But is it not only a problem of memory leakage?

Hello eibgrad,

I tried to stop Traffic Analyzer but without success, the error above was still present.
But I have tried then to restore factory config on my ASUS RT-AC86U, to re-apply the backuped configuration and this solved the issue! The error in the filesystem disappeared and I am now able to add VPN rules back on the VPN director.
Thank you for suggestion!
