Prior to this commit, "localuse" (which enables local resolving through dnsmsasq) was off by "default". That default was in turn overridden when "noresolv" was unset (which itself is the default for "noresolv") *and* "resolvfile" was "/tmp/resolv.conf.d/resolv.conf.auto" (also the default for this parameter). In other words, the "default" unset value for "localuse" would only be ever used in specific *non-default* configurations. However, the problem with that logic is that a user who wants to ignore their ISP-provided resolvers by setting "noresolv" to true ends up with a device that will *only use* said resolvers for local DNS queries, serving clients' queries via dnsmasq (which now ignores the ISP resolvers). This can lead to confusion and break random setups as the DNS lookup performed on clients behalf can differ in their replies from DNS lookups performed locally on the router. Furthermore, "localuse" is not configurable through Luci, contrary to the other two involved settings, adding further confusion for the end user. To work around this situation, the logic that sets "localuse" is inverted: "localuse" now defaults to on by default, and IFF "noresolv" is unset (default) AND "resolvfile" is changed from default THEN "localuse" gets turned back off, allowing for more sensible behaviour. "localuse" value set in config/dhcp still overrides the logic in all cases, as it did already. Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARÈNE <hacks@slashdirt.org>
OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
