Which is what and who I was going to comment on or about, not anything necessarily directly related to you, thanks.

And I just found out that I can no longer get the firmware
or even the convert program for my ng 6300v2's at all.
They were Kong build dependent boxes with the files available thru Desipro.
At the very least I would expect to still get the firmware that was available previously,
or a tech note explaining that new vulnerabilities had been found
which are NOT being addressed currently.

But what to do next?
And can we even count on dd-wrt to still watch for vulnerabilities?
& that security fixes will be made in a timely fashion?
Are my Kong build NG6300v2's basically dead?
It's not that difficult to return to stock firmware via TFTP or nmrpflash. It's also highly advisable to shift to using current Official DD-WRT firmware releases, which contain more recent versions of OpenSSL/WolfSSL, OpenVPN, and WireGuard - not to mention many vulnerability fixes and improvements to the UX and UI.
