Anyone working or using EasyTomato

[Chiny91]

I'm still using my two Asus routers on EasyTomato, which has all proved fairly robust over the years. Clearly the time has come to break something 😄 I succeeded recently in compiling the latest version from GitHub, but even though OpenSSL has been updated to post-Heartbleed, it is still outdated, along with other packages no doubt, including the base Tomato.

I have recently unearthed a spare Linksys and I am very tempted to learn about GitHub, hosting management and so on by updating EasyTomato. I'd rather not upset anyone by treading on their update (anyone ?), wrongly making a mess in GitHub, etc, so please do comment.

I have switched instead over to non-easy-tomato builds so that I can make use of new GUI and more reliability, especially on new Wireless ac routers which are becoming more and more popular. Easy tomato did me well for years but without updates on a newer ac router, I had to make the jump.

@Chiny91 - We no longer work on EasyTomato. Feel free to poke around and update it as much as you want! I'd suggest making a "fork" of EasyTomato that you can modify and version control on your own. If you think other users of EasyTomato would benefit from the updates you've made, send out a merge request and I'd be happy to look it over and merge it into the EasyTomato repository.

Thanks for commenting and we're happy to hear that EasyTomato served you well the past several years.

Sorry to bring a thread back from the dead but as a FYI - I still actively use this for customers who need https blocking to keep employees off FB, etc.

It also helps with public wifi / limited bandwidth situations for blocking netflix and other streaming services.

Which leads me into my next question - is there ANY other firmware that does HTTPS blocking?

This firmware still holds the test of time. Amazing job!
