I posted recently about wanting to install OpenWrt.

I just wanted to thank everybody who gave advice and encouragement. It was very quick and easy to setup.

I had some very small issues:

  • I had to reboot my internet modem to get internet working. Duh.
  • I initially didn’t put my country code for wifi, even though the docs say this is important. My bad.
  • I initially set my wifi to WPA3, but I had to switch to WPA2 for my Roku. My bad for owning a Roku.

So far I’ve installed adblock and wireguard extensions, although I haven’t enabled the wireguard yet.

What other extensions do people recommend?

Thanks again!

    Might sound ridiculous but maybe don’t open port :22 on your routers firewall?

    Edit: this appears to only apply to passwordless users/accounts?

      From my quick reading on it, it’s logins that allow passwords – the bug is basically that hackers can send a specially crafted message, and be treated as though they are legitimate ‘passwordless’ accounts to login, essentially bypassing the password req.
