https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=50914 as of feb 13th has many features (like having the luci-ssl gui native, sqm-scripts, and support for nearly all the platforms I have handy (c7v2, linksys 1200ac, wndr 4800 and 4300))... so I replaced a c7v2 router as my default home gateway to see how it did. It also has nifty features like multiple vpn support, mwan (for multiple uplinks), and a tor-specific ssid.
Quick notes: dns is tunneled through dnscrypt and then to opendns by default, and feels "chunky". The ath10k in the archer c7v2 refused to come up with a "world" setting, I had to move it to country='US'. The wifi interfaces are bridged. (which is ok at the moment, I wanted a simple test) IPv6 "just worked". The default optional packages pointed to the wrong place - fixed with cd /etc/opkg sed -i s#http://luci.subsignal.org/~trondah/archer_cx/r48717/packages/#http://luci.subsignal.org/~trondah/archer_cx/r48717/packages/#g di stfeeds.conf netperf and Babel were not installed by default, but all the other tools I rely on like tcpdump were. It's kernel 4.1.16 (openwrt elsewhere is trying to stabilize on 4.4) cake works, but is mildly busted and does not have the triple flow isolation, and no extended stats are visible. The archer C7v2 has a different default ethernet wan port (eth0 rather than eth1) which caused me a bit of confusion while setting it up. # tc -s qdisc show dev eth0 qdisc cake 800a: root refcnt 2 bandwidth 5500Kbit besteffort flows raw Sent 196703782 bytes 1022519 pkt (dropped 2131, overlimits 1605810 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 The tc package installed is: tc-adv - 4.1.0-git-7 While I was away comcast upgraded this connection to 75mbit/5.5mbit. We basically run out of cpu at this speed with cake and the default firewall rules. All and all it's an extremely competent effort, and I am happy to not have had to build it myself. I will probably "downgrade" to use comcast's local dnssec enabled dns resolvers and disable dnscrypt, but all in all it has everything I need on a day to day basis, and it seems to be nearly a pure superset of everything I regarded as essential in CeroWrt. The C7v2 is showing it's age (and there's another issue, which I'll get to in a sec), so I plan to try this distro on a linksys 1200ac later this week. There is another feature-full build of openwrt out there - hannu nyman's build specific to the wndr3800 and friends (like the ubnt gear), which is tracking cake developments more closely. I will give that a shot on my nearly last remaining cerowrt box after confirming the cake implementation is current. _______________________________________________ Cerowrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel
