weburl crashes the router

[tanguy15]

I have an x86 board running Backfire built from the latest Backfire branch. I could succussfully compile the weburl kernel module and the iptable extension, but the router crashes a few seconds after inserting the weburl match rule. The same behavior occurs with Backfire 10.03.1-RC3

I'll try to look into this sometime in the next week.

Thanks Eric,

I'll be delighted to test it on my Alix board

I just tested this, and it seems to be working fine. Could you be more specific about the exact iptables rule that is crashing the router for you (e.g. what arguments you're using) ? That might help me replicate the problem.

Incidentally, I did find a major problem with configuration of the WAN interface on alix boards, which I fixed.

I didn't use the Gargoyle web interface, but followed the procedure described in your post https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=17249 . I downloaded your latest netfilter-match-modules and applied the integrate_netfilter_modules_backfire.sh script within backfire 10.03.1-RC4. Everything goes well until I insert "iptables -I FORWARD -m weburl --contains "gargoyle" -j DROP" for instance. It crashes there after a few seconds. Same behavior using the latest backfire branch. Do I need to perform additional modifications to the procedure you explained (already long ago...) in your post above? Thank you.

If you're using the old version of the patch script it probably won't work properly even if you're using the latest version of the module code. Try downloading the latest version of the patch script in the repository (it's in the netfilter-match-modules subdirectory).

It's the one I used, dated 8 months ago.

An update on this issue: I compiled the latest backfire branch and it now works perfectly. Thanks.
