@blindcoder Just looked up the #DNS ad blocking landscape last night.
Seems like #PiHole is slowly coming out of fashion and more seen as the "simple beginner's tool". #AdGuard is what most people seem to use nowadays. (That's also what's integrated into #GLiNet routers!) And the real geeks apparently use #Technitium (.NET!).
Some pay for #NextDNS.io as they don't want to host "such essential service" themselves. Also, you can use it from everywhere without the need for VPN tunnels or open ports into your home for DoH/DoT.
And #Blocky got honorary mentions from some masochists.

GL.iNet Comet 5G – A KVM over IP solution with 5G RedCap cellular connectivity, 3.69-inch touchscreen display

Bought a new router (GLi Net Flint 2) which broke my headless Pi SSH connection. Took me a while to realise the Pi doesn't support WPA3. Still working on it... Last night I had to work on the TV as the new router also broke the wifi remote control (IR receiver is broken) connection... Found out that using a keyboard with an Android TV is very unintuitive (it's a Sony Bravia).
Ah... networking. Every time I learn a little bit more!

Dear fedi, I’m thinking on replacing some #networking hardware at my place. I need an #AccessPoint and another piece working as a #WiFi6 client for 2 PCs and a SteamLink, no need for mesh.
Considering
• GL.iNet Flint 2 for the AP,
• #Mikrotik hAP ax² for the client.Does this look OK? Other options worth considering? I like that #GLiNet uses #OpenWRT.

Received today my new toy 🤩
A nice GL.iNet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000)I haven't decided yet whether I'll stay with the stock/stable firmware from GL.iNet (based on OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT :v), Or switch to the one based on OpenWrt 24... Or go to the Vanilla OpenWrt firmware.
(I'm open to suggestions)But so far... WiFi is at least 10x faster with a quick test compared to my ISP box :o
Time to do some proper testing... And then plug internet directly to it :D

GL.iNet Mudi 7 specs are out and it's now available for pre-order ($319, down from a $399 price target for general release), to ship in April.
https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-e5800/
noteworthy details:
* 5G and 4G, 6x internal and optional 2x external antennas
* dual SIM support
* tri-band WiFi 7, 1x 2.5GbE port
* 600Mbps Wireguard and 700Mbps OpenVPN
* USB type-C tethering and OTG
* quad-core Qualcomm CPU
* 2GB RAM and 8GB eMMC
* up to 13.5h battery life and USB-PD fast chargegiven that it's a Qualcomm CPU I would not expect mainline OpenWrt support any time real soon, but it will be running GL.iNet's build of OpenWrt + their software, and should have access to most packages available on vanilla OpenWrt.
based on my experiences with #GLiNet I would wait for the firmware to stabilize before buying this, with the expectation that increasing competition in the travel router space will push that $399 price target down over time.

@geerlingguy the ghetto refurb hp may be overkill and over the hill but more fun to make your own than buy? this probably uses much less power. i think smb mkt will go past 10g and just go to 100g, skip 25/40/56
the dev side of this story is good,
the rasp pi will someday replace a 1 million dollar server - i like the solemn silence edit on that one
smb will go for the mikrotik 100g switch - i think that will be mkt leader in just a couple years

after rambling about Arm devices earlier, I did a little poking around and found that the upcoming #GLiNet Beryl 7 "travel router" will apparently be based on the Mediatek MT7987 SoC, which updates the dual A53 CPU in the Beryl AX to a quad A53.
if true, that's very nice to hear. I have zero complaints about my Beryl AX (I'm connected with it right now), but as an always-on VPN user, as bandwidth demands continue to grow, the CPU will eventually be a limiting factor.
it also looks like GLi is in no rush to add 6GHz support to their "travel routers" which is a bit of a bummer, but then I don't have any equipment which supports it yet, and due to attenuation it likely wouldn't be a great choice for wireless bridging beyond a fairly close distace.
I also looked at the Slate 7 a bit more, and I'm not interested; my Slate AX is doing fine as access point & router for my personal network at the #CouchLab, but I learned my lesson: no more Qualcomm SoCs dependent on their closed SDK! mainline #OpenWrt support is going to take forever if it comes at all!

speaking of GL.iNet, some exciting news: they are now beta testing #AmneziaWG support on the GL-mT3000 'Beryl AX' after many customer requests.
I've never used AmneziaWG but after hearing about this, I'm thinking about replacing my PiVPN endpoint with one that supports it to assist with testing. mainly because I'd like to be prepared for the eventual case of attempting to use my VPN from an uplink such as a hotel or restaurant which blocks Wireguard.

Hilarious. I moved one USB-C device to a different port on the Studio (its an NVME drive) and dropped it below the main machine and lo and behold the connectivity is picking up. Does an NVME drive and case cause that much radio interference? The fuck.
BTW #OpenWRT with the #LuCI interface is just phenomenal. Like nothing I've ever seen before. I am absolutely in love with it. 1000% recommend the #GLINet Flint2 router.

OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT
Virtualization: #Proxmox
Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU
Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN
Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use

The bag.builds guy (Davide) makes some amazing modifications and attachments for his system.
On the rear - not seen:
(2) RasPi 5
#glinet 1800 WiFi router
#AntSDR
Then here we have;
@hak5gear WiFi PineApple
#CatSniffer (BTLE, other)
#CC2540 BTLE sniffer
(Into RasPi5-01)
2 #Alfa AXML WiFi adapters
2 available USB (for expansion)
(Into RasPi5-02)
(3) #anker Battery Packs
(Much cheaper on Amazon used)
Not pictured is the #GDPWin3 running #KismetWireless @kismetwireless
(attached to 5Ghz WiFi on the GLI.net WiFi router)All the RasPi and the antSDR are feeds to the KismetWireless server running on the portable hand held.

this is why I was messing around getting GaN miniature USB type C chargers on sale when my ass is about to be homeless.
that little carrying case holds a complete kit for nomadic "chilling here for a few hours/days" internet.
4G LTE modem/VPN capable WiFi router: GL.iNet GL-X750 v2 'Spitz'
VPN and repeater capable WiFi router: GL.iNet GL-A1300 'Slate Plus'
two type C chargers, two short cables, a type C to 12VDC barrel plug dongle. only the 4G antennas don't fit in the case.

behold the Brume 2: this will be a file server velcro'd to the side of an external HDD enclosure containing an 8TB disk.
GL-iNet never disappoints when it comes to quirky hardware, and this is no exception, with its one (1) 2.5GbE port and the fact that it's based on a wifi SoC with no wifi capability. presumably they are making good use of chips with defects in the radio section.
specs: dual-core ARMv8 A53 @ 1.3GHz, 1GB DDR4, 8GB eMMC storage.
they bill it as an "edge computing" and/or VPN gateway device and indeed I used a Brume 1 as my primary router for about two years, but in this case I'll be happy if it can receive & serve data via rsync-over-ssh at the HDD's native speed. high hopes for the dual A53 @ 1.3GHz!
I'll be starting with the manufacturer firmware to see how it does, before potentially switching to vanilla OpenWRT. yes, an OpenWRT file server, don't awoo.
prospects for future vanilla OpenWRT support are excellent, being as the wifi-enabled version of the SoC was proposed for the OpenWRT reference design!

Started messing around with a #GLiNet #Beryl travel router. Really like the concept, but found out that I need v4.x of their firmware to do what I want to. The stable branch was still on 3.x for the Beryl so I tried the beta version of the 4.x. It wasn’t the best. Also found that the Beryl only has 32mb of storage. Lulz.
I’m returning the Beryl and getting a GL-iNet #SlatePlus instead. The main reason being the 128mb of storage and, since it’s newer, easier access to the 4.x firmware.
This is one of those things where I don’t really need a travel router, but I do travel around the state a lot for work. Something like this could be handy. Also, I love playing with little toys like this.

A propos #Cloudflare, they cooperate with web browsers to hide their Man in the Middle Attacks and convince people to use their e.g. DNS servers.
They cooperate with routers' manufacturers as well to push their services.
Look at #Glinet. The next 'privacy and security oriented' entity. They promote Cloudflare even on their website.
But you know, they're are trustworthy. I know, I know like #CryptoAG and others.
