unixadmin Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hello. After bouncing back and forth between Netduma and an OpenWRT router I decided to go with Netduma simply for the convenience; For example forthe GeoIP worldmap. I look at enough netstat at work to be botheredlooking at it at home all night figuring out when Bungie developersare matchmaking me, in Europe, against astronauts on the International Space Station and penguins in the Arctic.Of course like with any black box system you are giving up on someflexibility, and are limited to changing only what is implemented in the web administration interface. In an OpenSource router you get access to sysctl and ethtool among other tools... so if I'm playing a single game that uses UDP and I want to experiment with offloading and receive side scaling I could. What does "unlock the full potential of your router" mean for the upcoming DumaOS. Assuming that it is based on *BSD or GNU/Linux... will it provide a lower level access to the operating system, like the ability to set your own sysctl's?

A7Legit Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 @Unixadmin, I've tried OpenWRT before, before the LEDE branch out, as well as pFsense, Gargoyle, DD-WRT, Tomato Advanced & AsusMerlin which all pretty much do the same thing (more or less) as far as QOS & FQ_Codel implementation is concerned and as you said I find the geo-filter far more convenient than worrying about setting up IPTables and having to resolve IP addresses. I'm also a fan of having PFiFo setup in a click or two for PSN and/or XBL ports, even going 'advanced' is as simple as choosing the port, protocol, source and/or destination. I'm more interested in the anti-jitter and anti-spike technologies which IMO go beyond using any scheme available in those mentioned Linux based O/S but again I'm always wanting to learn more but I do not see/read/hear of anyone sorting jitter and spike issues using a simple AQM, so theoretically being able to sort these with a click or two will only add to that convenience for me. Not to mention that the experience is already better on the R1 for me than on the other routers with said (above) O/S'. What hardware/firmware/OS combo are you rocking currently?

antithesis Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I think your problem is that penguins are in the Antarctic, not the Arctic. You might want to blacklist the entire southern hemisphere to cover your bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abc123 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I have the same issue, the netduma hardware is too underwhelming to be my main device... so i have a pfSense box with the netduma behind it in DMZ... I then have a UAC-PRO for the WiFi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
