Is there any way to configure dd-wrt to make it take a long time to load *everything* in the Myspace domain? If I just block the domain, she will know something is up and be pissed. But if it just took a frusteratingly long time to load every time she clicks on something, it would take too long to get anywhere, and she would quit. Maybe I could make it cache everything from myspace before it forwarded it to my computer? That might work because the memory is slow on the router? I have a wrt54gs connected to my internet, which is ppp-oe. I then connect my computers to it, and it gives them a DHCP IP and they have internet. My GF is not that computer savvy, she would think it is the myspace servers causing the problems. Thank you all for your time and/or input, I need my Girlfriend back!
It is not that she has nothing else to do, she just won't bother to find anything esle to do, because she is *always* busy sending a reply, which gets a reply, so she needs to reply, and the vicious cycle continues....
I really need a domain specific solution, as constant bittorrent just to hog her bandwidth will ruin my relationship w/ my isp.... That, and I can't just slow down her port, because all my computers are on the same switch which has the uplink going to one port on the router, I ran the cable before I put the drywall up.
ps, where is a page explaining HSFC? I can't seem to find one...
Quake 3 (or a similier game) had a way to introduce lag so if you were server and everyone else was modem at like 400 ping, you could turn your ping up to 400. I just want to turn myspace's ping up to like 1800, with a 1 in 4 chance of a timeout when posting a message... that would get her off and stop wasting so much of her time

Now...to really drive her nuts...is there a way to slow it down gradually....something that would make it slow to a crawl after 15 minutes....then she would be engrossed in something when it starts slowing down. The frustration level would double exponentially compared to an immediate slowdown.

Looking for more test units (newer models) for the project...got a brick?...PM me to make a donation. (USA)
u3gyxap, excellent theory! I assume 216.178.32.0/20 is myspace, so this code only affects myspace traffic?
I think I remember where to do this code at, it has been a long time since I played with my wrt. (over a year of only power-cycles to provide uptime!) I forgot my password over a year ago, but since it still works, I haven't bothered to fix it... My plan is to follow de-brick instructions, to reset to factory so I can actually get in and upload the latest binary.
I am gonna re-flash, then implement u3gyxap's method. I will be sure to let you guys know, I can't wait to get my girlfriend back!
PS: What do -I and -D do?
