There is a Geekzone thread that I kicked off when I attended the Commerce Commission presentation about Samknows and got to meet Sam. https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=49&topicid=237852 I've done a bit of analysis on the traffic but haven't dug too deep yet as I didn't want to bust open the box and try and reverse engineer their OpenWRT build. Happy to put anyone in touch with the guys I have dealt with directly from the Comcom and Samknows too.
