Is there a community firmware for this? Or should I look around for something just as powerful? A WebUI is great, but I'm also cool with CLI.</p>

joany<p>So I am using this <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/edgerouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>edgerouter</span></a> with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> <br>But i have issues turning it on. It can't find usb on poweron, so on the console i give the reset command. and it boots normally.. just a small inconvenience</p>

Nicd<p><span>Welp, wasted a whole evening on trying to get </span><a href="https://social.ahlcode.fi/tags/IPv6" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IPv6</a><span> to work on my </span><a href="https://social.ahlcode.fi/tags/EdgeRouter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EdgeRouter</a><span> X. Maybe I should install </span><a href="https://social.ahlcode.fi/tags/OpenWRT" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenWRT</a><span> on it... Anyway, turns out my new ISP has their own NAT on IPv4 and that's just great for my </span><a href="https://social.ahlcode.fi/tags/SelfHosting" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SelfHosting</a><span>. </span>🤦‍♂️<span> Gotta call them tomorrow and see if I could get a public IP somehow.</span></p>
Edd<p>About three months ago, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>neil</span></a></span> wrote a post about detecting being on a call using webcam activity. I said at the time I was going to write up how I did it without running software on the endpoint, and I finally put the post together today: <a href="https://i.am.eddmil.es/calltracking/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">i.am.eddmil.es/calltracking/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Thw post explains how to use conntrack on any <a href="https://mastodon.eddmil.es/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> based firewall to detect a user being on Meet/Teams/Zoom/Slack or Jitsi calls. My example is an <a href="https://mastodon.eddmil.es/tags/Ubiquiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ubiquiti</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.eddmil.es/tags/Edgerouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Edgerouter</span></a>, but should need very little modding for other Linux routers.</p>
Douglas<p>I'm thinking about switching from a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ubiquiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ubiquiti</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EdgeRouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EdgeRouter</span></a> to something with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OPNsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OPNsense</span></a> on it. My home Internet can do 1gbps/45mbps although this fall I'll probably end up with symmetric 1.2gbps. I'm upgrading my access points to WiFi 7 (the new Ubiquiti APs) so the WiFi will support the throughput even if our devices don't yet.</p><p>The frustrating thing with the EdgeRouter is that it's basically been abandoned the last few years by its manufacturer. They are still selling plenty of them but... 1/n</p>
