looks like #GLiNet firmware 4.8 and up will support a considerable speedup for #OpenVPN connections by offloading handling of the data stream to the kernel, which appears to be an open source effort, i.e. it's not a manufacturer-specific enhancement.

A quick review of the new competitor to the #PiKVM and #JetKVM from #GLiNet
#blog post about my issues with #tailscale subnet routing on a #glinet beryl ax travel router. finally it works.

Kind of wondering if there might be some yet unexplored potential with pairing a @flow3rbadge with a #Glinet battery powered travel router running #OpenWrt, like the Mudi or Puli. Anyone tried to stream audio or petal inputs from(/to) the @flow3rbadge over IP+Wifi to another Linux host? Maybe having the @flow3rbadge appear as a keyboard/sound device on the remote host?
@RationalizedInsanity haha okay just checking. was staring at my spare #GLiNet VPN router when I asked. I have no idea in my mind how much "stuff" you have or are able to have at this point in your life or if you'd find such a device useful. one potential use for you, it can share files off a microSD or USB stick (or a hard drive) so you could do a hot sync to your phone and thus have a backup if your phone goes away as they sometimes do
anyway I am doing okay, it's food bank Friday and I have been procrastinating so this is my scene right now. about to get up and make ... some kind of major food. I think. maybe a loaf of bread and split pea soup, that's the optimistic case. I have been off SNAP so learning to make new foods with ingredients that are like a dollar a pound. skills that'll serve me for the rest of my life 🫰
but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:
OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT
Virtualization: #Proxmox
Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU
Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN
Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use
Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries

OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support
OpenWrt is an open source, Linux-based operating system designed for routers and other wireless devices. It’s been around for more than two decades and for most of that time it’s been offered primarily as an operating system that you could install as a replacement for the firmware that ships with existing devices.
But last year the OpenWrt team partnered with Banana Pi to launch the first […]

Made my #WiFi speed test video into a YouTube short, if you'd like to watch it there instead of here.
My brother and I have both moved to the "Flint 2" #WiFi routers from #GLiNet. I've had mine a bit and loved the range I was getting out of even our 5Ghz WiFi6 network, so when his old Linksys started having problems he decided to get one as well. His house has sheet metal siding, so I was a little concerned about the effect that might have on his range, but it seems to be doing pretty good. I turned my SIM card off to make certain I was using the WiFi for the test.
This morning I finally gathered the courage to free my old #GL-inet #X750v1 of the #GLinet bloatware and installed vanilla OpenWrt without bricking it. Bit of a mission to install, as GL-inet tries to block it, but luckily #OpenWrt now has a 'force' option. To figure out how to install and get the 4G Modem to work was a bit challenging but even got the LED to work now. Just need to add Wireguard and I have a perfectly 'new' travel router and back-up for my home network.
🚀 Behold! The latest parade of incomprehensible model numbers and buzzwords from GL-iNet! 🖥️ Apparently, they've solved world hunger with a "Comet" that lets you press keys from afar—because who doesn’t want to control a keyboard remotely? 😂 Just what we needed, another acronym-riddled menu of routers to get lost in.

I dragged my #GLiNet routers not currently in use out to boot them up and see if there are any firmware updates, and lo & behold I found another weird bug.
it seems (tentative description) that if "Block Non-VPN Traffic" is enabled, and DNS over TLS is enabled (and maybe other conditions, dunno), after a few months being powered down, the router can't resolve DNS queries and so nothing else works, UNTIL the date & time is manually set and the router is rebooted.
whew. yeah, that sounds about right for GLi stock firmware.
Спустя неделю экспериментов я отказался от балансировки.
Пробовал с разными коэффициентами Load Balance, старался выделить приоритет одному соединению и какую-то меньшую часть другому. Но в итоге очень сильно тормозило. Возможно, тут как-то мои настройки DoH и ByeDPI тоже повлияли.
Остаюсь на обычном режиме Failover.

Got another one via Amazon Prime. Will likely make it to the other hotel before I do. 🤣
Annoyed at myself for not bringing my GL.iNet router. Hotel WiFi can be a real pain in the ass...
#GLiNet #WiFi #Internet #networking :derpfuuu:
Прописал несколько #DoH в родном интерфейсе #Glinet, но кажется забыл что надо бы в Luci поотключать провайдерский DNS.
P.S. не забывать прописывать при этом 127.0.0.1 а то после перезагрузки нифига работать не будет.
It was weird weekend: I played with a vanilla #OpenWRT on my new #glinet router and I created a page in DokuWiki (which I prefer to not use as much as possible, just because I don't know it) for the topic which I don't know 🙃
