I read up on their website the features and the amazing data that it produces. Its overwhelmingly the best netFlow & sFlow analyzer I have ever seen. The single drawback is the requirement for a Windows PC. I am in the process of considering a VMWare ESX installation to host operating systems. I am still in the considering stage, but if I ever do decide to go ahead and build the system I certainly would love to have scrutinizer running on one of OS.

I am really not planning on an upgrade since everything is working A-Okay and the new firmware has no significant features. Let us know if you do come up with a solution for your issue, thanks.

From what I understand, I think you have turned on https authentication on Tomato and hence its using the https protocol to authenticate. I get the same message when I try logging in and haven't had any issues. Its interesting that the backups are working in Opera and not IE. I am an avid Mac user and haven't had used IE for the longest time. I will give it a shot when I get a chance and get back to you. Hi Mario,

Should I worry about this: (1) This site is using an outdated encryption method which is no longer classified as secure. It cannot sufficiently protect sensitive data. Do you wish to continue? (2) The server is using a short public encryption key, which is not considered to be secure. Got it to work with Opera.

IMO it is even better/faster than stock Tomato as it's optimized for high p2p load. http://victek.is-a-geek.com/ http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=62248 If you like Tomato, you should try Victek’s RAF version as well.

I am a tomato guy now. I did configure the bridge I wanted in no time. WOW. and it's working well. thks for the good job done. It's working as expected !

I've used DD-WRT for many years and it is a great firmware. However, as of late, I have been using Tomato more and more and have REALLY been liking it! Very solid and the user interfact with Ajax is AWESOME! Definitely a keeper in my book. Just today I did a WDS installation in a 7,000 sq/ft house with several WRT54GLs. Nice post!
