I installed your compilation, congratulations you did a great job, I will install linksys firmware on partition 1 and its construction on 2, I want to test your construction better. great job.
Thanks again for helping me! Actually it was in another compilation, now that I installed its compilation I was able to execute the command, but I'm with lede installed in the two partitions, not linksys firmware in slot 1 and lede in 2, would another way of installing linksys firmware updating by lede?
I did originally compile my firmware with the openssl HW accel flag enabled (and the other needed bits). What I found was that yes, during testing the overall CPU load was lower, system load was a bit elevated, but overall bandwidth being processed was low.
Disabling HW accel, and using just the RAW cpu horepowa of one single core, I was able to pull more bandwidth through (while pegging that one core).
So, ultimately I discontinued use of the HW accel as in a real world scenario it did not give me the uber bandwitdh I was hoping for. Instead it just gave a lower system utilization and still low bandwidth. Plus, it's finiky on making sure all the correct flags are enabled, then settings your crypto settings properly in your ovpn setup..... not worth it.
If you want real bandwidth over your home router for VPN use, just build a untangle or pfsense box on an intel x86 chip.
Hello all! Thanks so much cybrnook for your builds. My wrt1900acv2 runs really really nice! But, I have a question. I wanted to add this command # ethtool -K eth0 tso off gso off gro off towards the end of the sqm script and I wanted to know if I'm doing it right. And also do I include the number sign or no?
@cybrnook Thanks for explaining. What I am actually looking for is not ultimate VPN throughput, but since I am running a complex setup of 2 tuns and 1 wan, I am looking for ways to relieve the CPU of some load.
I am very surprised the official LEDE build excludes cryptodev, given all the commit messages I've seen a while back on improving it. Any idea why they left it out?
EDIT: Also, I've looked at AMD64/X86 pfsense before. Total overkill for my connection and also sucks when it comes to QoS (compared to Cake SQM, my favourite feature of LEDE).
Yep! I didn't get a chance to test them yet, so haven't officially announced yet. But HW Acceleration should be enabled again for openssl (user asked for it).
You're free to go ahead an give it a whirl. I am so busy at work lately with the 2017 projects, and then company direction changes, as well as my wife being consumed in her company's re-platforming that I haven't had much time at all to "play" at home.
It should be a completely fine build, only contains recent commits to the branches. As well, I re-enabled "libgnutls" and enabled HW acceleration for the Crypto's and OpenSSL, so HW acceleration for VPN should be working again. Outside of that, still the same build packages.

Installed your LEDE-BETA Reboot SNAPSHOT r3680-0ebc681 / LuCI Master (git-17.068.73516-4c10d29 build on my wrt1900acs v1. No issues so far. I do disable adblock, as I have told you in the past due to accessing Free Press eEdition .Never have tried to figure out which setting is blocking it as I run adblock on the browser.
You can query the dnsmasq log to pull the entry(ies) that stop you from accessing freep. You can then add them to a whitelist, so you don't have to fully disable adblock just for freep.
