Process For Accessing Discord?

[Sortova]

Hello!

On the main page of the project it lists a link for "Chat" which points to a Discord server (https://discord.gg/pm7q6KFSzp). Weeks ago I joined and clicked on the post in the "verify_here" channel but I have yet to be verified.

I also donated 200€ to the project, or at least I think I did since I never got a confirmation that it was received. I am eager to find out when the major security issue will be addressed so I can turn NAT back on, and I'm trying to be patient but this is becoming a little frustrating.

Hi @Sortova
DISCORD -
The verification process is automatized by a bot, so as soon you clicked the "verified" you should get permissions to see other channels.
The process seems to work for me since i do see new people regularly posting in the "welcome" channel.

DONATION -
I have just checked the donation and indeed it was received. Thanks a lot. If you are not happy I would be okay to give it back it in any case. just ping me.

SECURITY
As for the major security issues, they have been already addressed in the latest 388 prebuilds. Feel free to reach me via chat for any question on discord. In general even after the fix if you care about security I would suggest you to not expose any web service to the web and just keep a VPN gateway open. The VPN is safe and safer. Please evaluate this in any case as an option.

Please ping me via chat per any question.

Just an update - after this latest upgrade to alpha1 I am seeing a few disconnect/reconnect messages but nothing like before. (shrug)

Hi Sortova,
what do you mean wih"nothing like before"? disconnect/reconnect messages are usually debug messages which you see when ASUS builds their prebuild and leave them enabled for some reasons.
Disconnect and reconnect are usually normal and they may come from devices saving energy.

I really don't know. The first time I installed the alpha1 release I had a number of devices lose and regain connection. I mean, I could almost count on it after the upgrade.

But I've been running it since Monday and it is as stable as can be. No issues.

The diff doesn't have any particular change in the config.
I will most probably release the beta this weekend

I think that's safe.
