    Blocking DuckDuckGo.com on TUF AX6000

    Just redirect it via DNS to point to the safe search enabled page.

    Announcement: 3006 progress report - it's a go

    Indeed. And like with Synology and Ubiquiti you can create firewall or traffic rules to allow certain communications. I guess this won’t be a part of Merlin’s release?

    Announcement: 3006 progress report - it's a go

    Will 3006 Merlin allow for configuring one-way and two-way etc. communications between VLAN’s? For example I would want devices on the “normal” LAN to communicate with the IoT network, but not allow the IoT network to talk back to the “normal” LAN. This is one of the things stopping me...

    VLAN Question

    Thinking of biting the bullet on an 88u Pro instead now. Still would like confirmation on the VLAN question though :)

    Announcement: 3006 progress report - it's a go

    Would be good if some tool could be included to manage the communication between the different VLAN’s. Currently it seems on stock firmware you can’t change/allow VLAN’s to talk to each other 1-way, 2-way etc.) which is kinda putting me off upgrading my current AC router

    VLAN Question

    If I were to use the base ASUS firmware (with VLAN’s etc.) is there a way out of the box to allow, for example, devices from the IOT network/VLAN to not have access to the main LAN, but allow devices in the main LAN to communicate with devices in the IOT network/VLAN (I.e one similar to 1-way to...

    Blocking “RO” country code in Skynet blocks Proton VPN UK connections

    Possibly. I’ve removed RO from my blocklist for now. No biggie - just a minor annoyance.

    Blocking “RO” country code in Skynet blocks Proton VPN UK connections

    Hi, But of a bizarre one - blocking the RO country code doesn’t allow the Proton VPN client on mobile/PC to connect to any UK endpoints - connections to other countries appear to work fine, but UK ones are blocked. Removing RO from the list of blocked countries in Skynet fixes the issue and...

    Where would you host that file? How will you update it with additions and removals?

    AdGuardHome AdGuardHome Blocklists

    Memory usage isn’t an issue for me as not running it on my router. But yes - large lists will cause issues with lower-end routers and eat up RAM /CPU when updating especially.

    AdGuardHome AdGuardHome Blocklists

    Not entirely true I don't think. For example, if you look at Hagezi's Ultimate list, looking at the RAW text file in GitHub it lists 181,222 domains - and when loaded into AGH, it also show 181,222 domains. I know for a fact domains in there overlap with 1Hosts Pro, but again this list shows...

    Enjoy. You don’t need to use all the lists when it comes to the blocklists - just pick the one that suits your blocking methodology.

    I use all of them along with his recommendations for other lists: And these are my stats for the last 90 days: I’ve been running like this for well over a year and had to whitelist very little (literally a couple handful of domains).

    You don’t need any other lists if you’re using Hagezi’s lists.
