but if the bootstrap bypases 40% everything hangs and I can no longer access luci or ssh to read logs so I have no idea what's happening in the background.

Any tips how to find the source of the problem?
Edit: even if I try with logread -f -e tor to follow the logs - they stop after the last message of 50% bootstrapping from tor. Everything crashes after that and I lose ssh connection

but still freezing after.
here my free; cat /proc/swaps

Is there anyway I can increase that 50mb to more? What should I set it to?
Edit: I did mange to increase it to 85mb but still same issue. Now hangs at 62%
I tried to minimize the firmware size, and ram but still same issue.
it's. I followed further and I see the free memory decreasing until it hits 0
then everything freezes. I will use another router with USB as zswap see if it resolves this issue.
Your router has 128MB of RAM, yu intentionally lock extra 100MB of RAM, frankly it is easy crash as you observe, I told you parameter to not lock all tor in RAM, just read back this thread.
