Ah I was not aware of that. Guess never cared because I have all the tools to reflash/reinstall ready to go with off-site config backups. But isnt this why you should have HA If it’s that critical? Guess more recovery options the better.

Software is software. I can reflash all day regardless if openwrt or opnsense.

Openwrt One is the official hardware. It is optimized for it.

Thank you!

Links to disable ME?

Stripping for a good cause!

Yeah didnt know this, unstarred it and adding xpipe to blocked word list

That’s the one that came to my mind. Is there another?

You would need a firewall to provide any type of blocking or port forwarding. Most routers provide some basic ability to do this but it’s hit or miss and depends on the manufacturer. I came from a modded merlin asuswrt Asus router firmware to an opnsense firewall running on custom hardware.

Maybe i made it sound weird. Use a firewall to catch all dns traffic trying to leave the network and route it the PiHole/Adguard Home. This is how to make sure nothing, not even hardcoded dns on any app on any device, wont be filtered. I personally block google dns IPs on top of this but that’s just a precaution.

Company’s are catching on to this and hard coding their apps to google dns. This is why it only works sometimes and the best option is to setup either pihole or adguard home dns and use firewall rules to forward all dns to it.

I am using the “Chromecast with Google TV” connected to wifi via 5ghz and use mkv files from collection via Jellyfin. I used to transcode from the i7-8700u but larger files took too long to start playing (with quicksync and proper drivers and passthrough) and tried turning off transcode and surprising works fine without issues. Ive tried 15gb files without issues.

So i would suggest checking your set up to make sure not something configured wrong and if you use mkv files try turning off all transcode to see if it works better.

Nothing wrong with simple! If it works for you that’s all that matters!

Yeah, I actually finally got rid of mine a year ago, but it never was allowed to access the Internet. Also didn’t support smbv3 when those huge issues came out so has to use custom package sources to get updates. Never buying something unless it can have open source firmware flashed any time for my NAS hardware. Using TrueNAS now on slightly old custom built PC I upgraded from.

Yes, please!

You aren’t always home, therefore when you aren’t home it’s useful.
