GNUton's Asus Merlin changelog
Date: November 27, 2022
Release: 388.1_0-gnuton0_beta1
-
NOTE: This release is only available for AX models.
AC models will remain on the 386_xx release branch. -
NEW: Add RT-AX86U_PRO support.
-
NEW: Merged with GPL 388_20566 (RT-AX88U and GT-AX11000)
-
NEW: Merged with GPL 388_21224 (all other AX models)
-
NEW: Experimental ROG UI version for GT models, as a separate
firmware image within the distribution archive, with
"_rog" in the filename. -
NEW: (Asus 388) WireGuard client and server. The server uses
the new 388 VPN server webui. Implemented a webui for
clients, based on the early development UI from Asus.WG client routing is handled by VPN Director - you must configure redirection rules through it, same as on stock firmware which requires configuring rules through VPN Fusion. DNS handling will be identical to OpenVPN's Exclusive DNS mode, forcing clients to use the DNS provided by it (if any is provided). Note that enabling WireGuard will disable hardware NAT acceleration due to compatibility reasons. -
NEW: httpd support for EC certificates (Ivan Kruglov)
-
UPDATED: getdns/stubby to 1.7.2/0.4.2.
-
UPDATED: zlib to 1.2.12 + backports.
-
UPDATED: openssl to 1.1.1s.
-
CHANGED: Rebranded DNSFilter as DNS Director. This will prevent
confusion with the company sharing the same name, and
also better describes what the feature does. -
CHANGED: Setting an OpenVPN client to redirect all traffic while
in "Exclusive" DNS mode will now force redirect ALL
DNS traffic just like in VPN Director mode.
While this will allow redirecting clients with
hardcoded DNS servers, it also means that your whole
LAN will lose the ability of doing local name
resolution. It might be best to use VPN Director
in that case to control which client should
be involved in the DNS redirection, or use
DNS Director instead of Exclusive DNS mode. -
CHANGED: (Asus 388) nvram storage increased to 192 KB on newer
HND 5.04 devices like the GT-AXE16000. -
CHANGED: Reworked VPN Status page to only show currently
