Tang on the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter

[bviktor]

Hi, I got Tang to work on the Ubnt EdgeRouter X, the write-up is here:

I'd be more than happy to help incorporating this in the Tang README. Please let me know if there's any info you need! :)

Awesome!
Is this stable so far? Is there any noticeable impact in cpu or ram usage?

None that I know of. And I have a gigabit line. It still runs stable at around 920 Mbps, with or without Tang. CPU is around 0% right now. RAM 46%.

The only impact is disk usage for the required libs, around 13MB. But I still have 58MB free, so it looks fine to me :)

The only annoying thing is the fact that you have to reinstall it after each firmware upgrade, as mentioned in the post. So you either re-bind all affected clients after upgrades (that's what I did after my first firmware upgrade, as I was curious what will happen), or backup & restore /var/db/tang with each FW update (that's what I'll do when I receive my 2nd FW update since I've been using this).
