I have problem with correctly config TTL value to specific value that I want. For example I need have ttl = 65 or 129. I can't config that. When I'm type command
Quote:
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o `get_wanface` -j TTL --ttl-set 65
nothing happen. I'm still have ttl=64. I try this in command tab of webgui and then click save firewall. That is one try without success and second try with run command button. Nothing happen. Third method was via putty there command is proceed and I have ttl=64 still. How can I correct change ttl in my DD-WRT ?

The command itself seems OK, be sure to use the right quotes: ` and not '

Alternatively use:
Code:
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o $(nvram get wan_iface) -j TTL --ttl-set 65


telnet to your router with putty execute the command and check if it works with:
iptables -vnL -t mangle

If it works: Administration/Commands and Save Firewall

If you want to hide the fact that the outgoing packet was routed you can also use:
Code:
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o $(nvram get wan_iface) -j TTL --ttl-inc 1

https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Iptables#Modifying_the_TTL <-- I presume this was what the OP was referring to, from the wiki. It should work 'on the fly' from ssh or telnet CLI. If you save it as part of your firewall script, you should probably reboot the router.... I don't think it automagically refreshes the firewall when you save it....

This command won't working for me. I try reboot device too. TTL is not change and is 64 still. I must try second method.
