Tomato by shibby – upgrade procedure and cfg backup | LinksysInfo.org
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/02/24
Reminder to self: [WayBack] Tomato by shibby – upgrade procedure and cfg backup | LinksysInfo.org:
I keep a text file with the changes I’ve made after a fresh install and I keep the file updated as I make changes.
Re-configuring the router after that takes a bit of time, but it is not that bad. Toastman’s method (here) noted above as well as the methods described here and here can also be used, but I haven’t tried them.
which references:
- [WayBack] Using QOS – Tutorial and discussion | Page 3 | LinksysInfo.org
You need to save a file somewhere on or off the router, with the following command from the command line.nvram export –set >config.txt
This outputs the complete setup in useable text form, each line beginning with “nvram set”. This means it’s ready to input to the router without having to add the “nvram set” to every line. You could do this by ssh or telnet.
NOTE – you can only restore the whole config file to the original router. To configure a different router you need to cherry pick the important lines (see below)
e.g.
nvram set clkfreq=480,240,120
nvram set wl0_country=AU
nvram set wan_domain=freewifi
nvram commit - [WayBack] Tomato RAF Releases | Page 18 | LinksysInfo.org
save off the results of nvram export –quote, ie:
Code:
nvram export –quote > nvram_clean
after erasing, then subsequent changes are easy to find later with:
Code:
nvram export –quote | grep -Fvf nvram_clean
While not quite as readable or cut and paste friedly as –set, –quote is script friendly with the advantage that all entries are always a single line. - [WayBack] I’ve created a command-line NVRAM cfg file parser | LinksysInfo.org
Decodes Tomato cfg files into JSON so they can be changed and compared against other backups. Encodes JSON-formatted Tomato cfg key/value pairs into the Tomato cfg format.

[WayBack] Solved: Stuttering Audio Streaming To Apple TV Via AirPlay – The Spotify Community:
Try to disable Wifi multimedia (WMM) from your router’s WLAN settings
For my Tomato USB it was easy as described by [WayBack] Installing AirPlay on Tomato – 2017 Edition [StartupCTO]:

Netgate SG-3100 is an ARM based pfSense Firewall Appliance
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/11/04
By now I should have had plenty of time to try out an ARM based pfSense multi-WAN router like the [WayBack] Netgate SG-3100 is an ARM based pfSense Firewall Appliance.
So this is a reminder for myself to write down more detailed experiences than the summary at [WayBack]Netgate SG-3100 pfSense Security Gateway Appliance.
It is in the Mikrotik price range, but each time I use those I bump into mysterious RouterOS issues that only I seem to have.

From a while back: [WayBack] ZeroShell Firewall/Router Linux Distribution Works on x86 Hardware, Raspberry Pi 2/3, & (Some) Orange Pi Boards.
I’m anxious to see how much it has grown up by now.

Research list: machine sometimes not visible on LAN
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/04/08
When one of the machine isn’t active for a while it seems to disappear. Even when it’s active some of the machines have intermittent errors pinging it as like every 10-30 seconds one of these ping results appear:
92 bytes from tl-er5120 (192.168.71.1): Redirect Host(New addr: 192.168.71.193) Vr HL TOS Len ID Flg off TTL Pro cks Src Dst 4 5 00 0054 05de 0 0000 40 01 644d 192.168.71.108 192.168.71.193
Sometimes even a simple
Request timeout for icmp_seq 6900
So I need to dig into ICMP “Redirect Host” .
It might be a simple ARP thing like mac mini – Why the different results for ping? Or why is the Time Capsule getting involved? – Ask Different [WayBack] but like usual stuff I bump into is of a more complex kind so I’ve archived at least these:
- ICMP – redirect host (5:1) – MikroTik RouterOS [WayBack]
- Directed ARP and ICMP Redirects « ipSpace.net by @ioshints [WayBack]
- ICMP redirects are ba’ad, mkay? [Google Cache as no WayBack]
- networking – Why do ICMP Redirect Host happen? – Server Fault [WayBack]

ESXi 6.5: change the host name in the “new” vSphere HTML5 Web Client, or using DHCP option 12
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/03/06
With the removal of the C# based Windows vSphere Client in ESXi 6.5, the vSphere HTML5 Web Client is the way to go.
It doesn’t cover all functionality yet, and some functionality is in different places in the UI, so below the steps to change the hostname.
Since I prefer a central location of name and address management, I’ve also documented on how to do this with DHCP option 12.
Oh: I’m not alone in finding the changed place

No more https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/11
Not sure when this happened but the CIDR list is no more [WayBack] https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt:
Dear partners, Please note that we have migrated the latest IP pools of WhatsApp to Facebook Mobile Partner Portal. Feel free to browse to the Settings page of the portal and download the latest WhatsApp IP pool: https://fb.me/mpp_support Further IP pool updates are also done through the portal and are no longer distributed via email or through WhatsApp web site. If you have not yet registered on the Mobile Partner Portal or have difficulties accessing it - please request access through the following form and we'll be happy to assist: https://fb.me/mpp_access For any technical requests please contact us through the Support section of the portal: https://fb.me/mpp_support WhatsApp team
In the past it was the place to get the CIDR so you could either block or allow WhatsApp traffic: [earlier WayBack]
It is still widely cited as way to regulate WhatsApp traffic, for instance at these places:
- [WayBack] Solved: Instand Messenger in Guest Network – Ubiquiti Networks Community
- [WayBack] Blocking WhatsApp in Mikrotik | Syed Jahanzaib Personal Blog to Share Knowledge !
Time to find an automated way to get the replacement list. Maybe the below helps (via [WayBack] Block facebook messenger and whatsApp on Dlink router – Super User)

How to configure pfSense as multi wan (DUAL WAN) load balance failover router – nixCraft
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/03
This will come in useful one day:
- [WayBack] How to configure pfSense as multi wan (DUAL WAN) load balance failover router – nixCraft
- [WayBack] Multi-WAN – PFSenseDocs: Failover
- [WayBack] How to Setup Failover and Load Balancing in PFSense
- [WayBack] How to Setup Failover and Load Balancing in PFSense – Part 2
Notes for monitoring at [WayBack] Multi-WAN – PFSenseDocs: Gateway Groups
- monitoring packet loss on ADSL is cumbersome depending on the ADSL distance
- member down is the easiest to monitor, but on fiber can fail to detect packet loss (the connection seems online, but in fact doesn’t provide traffic)
