Routertech logging with Wallwatcher

Post by hiteck » Fri Feb 17, 2012 3:53 am

I know, Wallwatcher is no longer supported. It doesn't really need it either. It works great with many routers. And I got it working with Routertech syslog. Setup remote logging for "info". Put the following code in /nvram/startup.sh or in an Environment variable.

Code: Select all

write_crontab.sh '*' '*' '*' '*' '*' 'cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack | logger'
This sends a batch of lines out port 514 to the remote logger once a minute, logging all open connections.

Setup Wallwatcher on the Windows PC for a "IP tables" type router. Change the router interface names on that same setup page to src for Lan and dst for Wan (instead of br0 and eth0). Enter 514 for port # and enter the routers IP also. Close Wallwatcher and restart it after a minute. Enjoy.

(p.s. I helped develop part of Wallwatcher 8) )
