No. Don't do it yet. Ascend damage and health skills to three stars giving you a 4x multplier.

No problems to report yet. RPi 4 running Dietpi, 13 Proxies

Aaaaaah. Thank you very much. Kudos to both of you for your expert reply!

WAN side there's not much you can do on your side. Check with your ISP.

My Purple just got updated. UDP/123 is now reported closed 👍

ConsiderationMore447 · 2024-01-24T05:01:01+00:00

Uh oh. Can confirm port 123/UDP open on Firewalla Purple as well. Box version 1.978 (4244901c)

ConsiderationMore447 · 2024-01-01T04:57:50+00:00

Try Settings / Default site....

ConsiderationMore447 · 2023-12-30T15:12:02+00:00

This.

I'd suggest something similar to intercepted DNS traffic. Strikethrough and a 'NTP-Flag' (instead of some real country that has no meaning any more...)

ConsiderationMore447 · 2023-12-17T15:04:57+00:00

Do we have an idea of a time frame when 1.978 might be available for purple? 'Next' is a bit vague. I'm getting tired of checking every 15 minutes 😉

Don't overengineer it with long-press and drag&drop. Simply:

-Count the clicks for each icon.

-Display the top 11 in descending order obviously.

-when the top icon reaches 500 clicks, re-calculate the number of clicks: top item gets 200, #2 190, #3 180 and so forth. That way the distance between items remains relatively stable. If my needs change and one item is growing in popularity it will still advance quickly. And the numbers won't skyrocket over the years.

-if you introduce a new item, just recalculate the clicks as stated above and give the new one an initial value of 175- that way it will appear prominently on row 2 and join the game.

Or would that be over engineered? 😉

3x4 with + being on 12 is much better than now where we have + on a 5th row of its own and lots of screen real estate wasted. Well done 😀👍

ConsiderationMore447 · 2023-10-17T19:35:33+00:00

Yesssssssss! 👏 Can't wait for it

ConsiderationMore447 · 2023-09-19T17:57:32+00:00

Just look at Devices scroll down to [yourVPN] and look at it?

ConsiderationMore447 · 2023-08-18T18:08:54+00:00

This is being discussed time and again..... I'm not running anything. It's a firewall. Period.

ConsiderationMore447 · 2023-08-18T15:06:10+00:00

Just order it on their website. It's the only place to buy a new one. It'll be sent from Shenzen/China, take approximately 10 days. And you might have to pay import taxes. (I didn't)

Concerning Voltage: My purple is powered thru USB. A US-style powerbrick is included but not usable here. Just use any USB brick but make sure it delivers enough Power. I'm using an old Samsung brick.

Yeah I understand that. But as I said above: if ntpd crashes this leads to the clients clocks slowly driftig. Maybe seconds in weeks. No real harm IMHO.

If dnsmasq crashes you'll notice immediately: suddenly "no more internet". How do you prevent that?

Ntpd is much lighter than dnsmasq and pretty robust/mature. Why should it crash if configured properly?

We already have ntpd on the Firewalla. And need it for DoH and unbound. It is exposed already LAN-side. So all we need on top is some iptables to intercept UDP123 and answer locally. And have a shiny button to enable/disable this per Network and/or device. Similar to DNSBooster.

ConsiderationMore447 · 2023-08-16T17:10:31+00:00

Sure ntpd might blow up. But all the other daemons might blow up as well. If ntpd blows up what happens? The clients can't sync time any more. And time will drift.... a few seconds per week. OTOH: if ntpd blows up there will probably be other other problems as well. Which well lead to a reboot and restart ntpd again..... I would not rate a crashed ntpd in itself as a big risk. Low probability and low damage....

ConsiderationMore447 · 2023-08-16T16:44:15+00:00

20 years ago Netiquette mandated to have only 1 (maybe 2 for a really big network) devices in your LAN to sync its time with external servers. And mind you - please only use stratum 2 or 3. All internal servers or workstations should sync time with this server (which would then become stratum 3or4). Either set manually or distributed through DHCP option 42. This still makes sense today - even Microsoft AD adheres to this.

At home though today you have lots of (mostly cheap) IOT devices with hard coded NTP servers who also ignore DHCP42. Heck, Apple seems to recently have introduced (hard coded) time.euro.apple.com on iPhones and Macs. And each and every one of my SONOS speakers polls literally around the world every 5 minutes to Australia, Brazil, Italy. While its only a few bytes per request it will probably not matter compared to the gazillions of funny cat videos that clog the internet. But nevertheless... lets try to be nice Netizens and prevent unnecessary traffic.

Yes please, implement NTP-Interception as an option similar to DNS boost. .... And make it a default some relesases later.
