Told router is too old to leverage Cake on WireGuard VPN patch #158

Closed privacyguy123 closed 10 months ago

privacyguy123 commented 10 months ago

How do I find out if this is true or not? I'm not able to discern what version of cake I have on my asuswrt-merlin router - I know for sure cake is in there and it's an available option but I do notice that it does not seem to recognise the flows nonat setting on a WireGuard interface and doesn't correctly apply any QoS on a VPN tunnel. Is there a way for me to update this to a version of cake with this patch installed?

Any help/guidance is appreciated. :)

To use this with wireguard you need the support in both wireguard itself and in sch_cake. The former went into kernel 5.7 and the latter in 5.8. So if your router is running a kernel older than 5.8, this feature will not be available.

Yikes, that's super new. What routers that you can flash with *wrt even run a kernel that new?

It can never be made to work with say kernel 4.19 or 5.10?

5.8 was released in August 2020, so it's not that new.

OpenWrt 22.03 is 5.10 for all targets, 23.05 is 5.15. So anything supported by OpenWrt? :)

Right, I misunderstood the numbering completely. 5.8 is not newer than 5.10 lol.
