I think there are plenty of people who are interested.
But being blunt I believe the lack of response is due to people’s deep reluctance to engage in any activity that might conceivably piss off frater, and cause him to pull the plug on the existing infrastructure.
It is very unfortunate that you didn’t get a response from him, but alas unsurprising since he appears to have taken a vow of complete silence; maybe he’s in a monastery somewhere???
But in the absence of any kind of utterance it seems to me there is a clear need for somebody to pick up the pieces and ensure the whole project doesn’t wither and die. IMO that should preferably be somebody with advanced hacker skills, just like you
The last thing i want to do is piss him off
might be an idea to do a donation to get some attention.
He has put in a lot of effort to create all the scripts and that is still much appreciated by a lot of people.
Creating a backup of all his scripts here on the forum might be a smart idea, if he decides to take down his server.
I read somewhere that he moved and changed jobs which could explain his absence.

Maybe so, but it has got to be close to a year since he actually participated in any kind of open discussion. It is hard to believe he couldn't have found the time to communicate his intentions in that period.
Furthermore, from what I can gather people who were previously engaged in extensive private discussions with him have equally heard nothing for a looooong time. Unless there is a reliable mind reader amongst us I think under the circumstances it is reasonable to suppose that for whatever reason he has abandoned the OTRW project.
I would be happy to put some donation money in to sustaining OTRW but really only on the basis there is some kind of explicit, good faith commitment to sustain it. Unfortunately I don’t see anything of the sort from frater at present, but I remain deeply grateful for the outstanding work he has done.

OTRW has not been abandoned. I regularly get updates for OTRW packages. I use:
ipkg update
ipkg upgrade
(ipkg is in fact ipkg-opt) _________________ 2 times APU2 Opnsense 21.1 with Sensei
2 times RT-AC56U running DD-WRT 45493 (one as Gateway, the other as AP, both bridged with LAN cable)
3 times Asus RT-N16 shelved
E4200 V1 running freshtomato 2020.8 (bridged with LAN cable)
3 times Linksys WRT610N V2 converted to E3000 and 1 original E3000 running freshtomato 2020.8 (bridged with LAN cable)
Thanks for reporting.
I ran an upgrade and wasn't missing any files.
In my install script i already changed the symlink
Im now using /opt/lib/libpcre.so.1.0.1 as source

Yes, frater could get upset with you. However, to reduce the ire, all you would have to do is make sure to attribute the original work to frater and make appropriate changes to keep the project alive. You are doing a great job. I will help you where I can. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

I sent him updated files and got no response.
I have to asume he has abandoned the project and only hosting the files since his setup is still availble.
Such clever guy as his would now someone will take over.
I haven't removed any credits to him in his scripts.

All changes I made can be checked out in my trac.
Since you have already done that, you are pretty much keeping the project alive. I am sure frater can resurface if he chooses. Myself and others will help you where we can. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26
