FTL failed to start since last update

Okay, here is what I have done so far;

  1. I have turned off CF
  2. cleared the DB
  3. restarted all services (working).
    I also made one change to my ASUS router:
    Excessive requests for dns.msftncsi.com - #5 by DanSchaper

I know this is probably not a good approach for the ASUS router, and I may have to reverse it later, but we shall see for now. Everything is functional, and we shall see if it stays up and running.
