Great,thanks. For correct bandwidth monitoring and Rate Limits shoud I switch off Routing/NAT Offloading?

22

Yes , should turn off .

!!!BIG FAT WARNING!!!

The luci bandix app has a dependency on bandix:

and this pulls in a binary file and not download the source and build it. You should be really careful when installing this.

Hi

I haven't figured out how to compile Rust programs within the OpenWRT build system. The bandix binary is also open source, available at bandix 。

If you don't trust the releases published by developers, you may not be able to use most of the pre-compiled programs on GitHub.

I have been developing this program for 5 months, and the initial article can be found here. If you suspect that I intend to use this to create a computer virus, I think that's a bit alarmist.

Update openwrt feeds and then run ‘fgrep -R rust-package package/’ in openwrt sdk dir, then you will find Makefiles for several apps that should show you how to build it inside openwrt build system.

Tested luci-app-bandix: 0.10.3-r1 / bandix: 0.10.3-r1 with Flow offloading set to Software flow offloading.
Works fine. Rate limit rules work as well.
Thanks!

Note that 1 MegaByte is 8 Megabit...
so:
5 MB -> 5 * 8 = 40 Mbps
and if it is actually 5 MiB that would be even
(5 * 8 * 1024^2) / 1000^2 = 41.94304 Mbps

Where in the source.tar.gz is the rust/eBPF source code? This seems suspicious.

There are many closed-source software projects in the world — no need to be overly cautious.

Bandix is fully open source and free
