PBR Weirdness - bug or layer 8 problem?

I use stangri's PBR on all my other routers and it works super!

Yes. Yes it does. Don't think I haven't been criticizing GL.iNet for the what they're trying to pass off as PBR.

On the Flint 2, I just want to stick to what they offer. I hope this will help them improve their implementation.

I'm in a similar postion as I build out conf for my Slate AX running v4.8.0-beta9... but I'm going to flash back over to OWRT-SNAPSHOT when done as I'm not travelling ATM. There's no reason you can't flash back to GL firmware the next time they release a 'stable'. Just pull your confs thru a backup in LuCI & keep the 'pure' tarballs segregated from 'GL.iNet's'.

I use OWRT 'sysupgrade' images to get off GL thru the GL GUI -> Upgrade then Uboot's WebGUI to flash back whatever's the latest stable for a shakedown. It takes all of ~3 min to flip... including restoring the tarball.

Issue resolving hosts by name

Weird. I hate to say it but I'd nuke it all & start over. It ain't much but here's something handy to help save states as you build up a clean config: #!/bin/sh HOST="$(uci show system.@system[0].hostname | cut -d "'" -f '2')" DOMAIN="$(uci show dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].domain | cut -d "'" -f '2')" timestamp="$(env TZ=UTC date +'%Y%m%dT%H%M%Z')" sysupgrade --create-backup /tmp/backup-"${HOST}"."${DOMAIN}"-"${timestamp}".tar.gz exit 0 Throw that into a script file & run it as a check point any time …
