    Error with unbound and VPN all default settings set

    Might be caused by your award winning firewall nslookup should use DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf, possible that with killswitch enabled all queries will be dropped if there is no 127.0.0.1 entry in there. Unless you can nslookup other domains than 'amdahl.com', then it's your firewall.

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    I assume DNS Director is inheriting some of the DNS Filter code (or whatever that Asus feature was called). I think it used iptables DNAT rules so that option shouldn't matter

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Might not be possible with DNS Director since the requests are being redirected and they will originate from the router (from Pi-hole point of view). I don't think setting up reverse query server in Pi-hole config will help here. Unsure how exactly DNS Director works on the backend but if it...

    Pi-hole released few patch releases so the package got updated once again: 2025.10.28-1 @heslo gravity update issue should be gone in this one

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    You could try modifying /opt/bin/pihole by inserting debug info in those specific lines: # In the case of alpine running in a container, the USER variable appears to be blank # which prevents the next trap from working correctly. Set it by running whoami if [[ -z ${USER} ]]; then...

    I don't see much changes in code responsible for this, it should not happen if FTL runs as the correct user...

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    Doesn't seem to happen on my end, can you check if pihole-FTL process is running as user "pihole"? That particular message will show up when not running as root or pihole user - see source code.

    AX ROUTERS USB PORT

    Both USB 2 and 3 can't really handle 5W, maybe USB ports on high-end motherboard, but not on the router. USB 3.0 specs state it's 4.5W max. I wouldn't risk it.

    Update released: 2025.10.25-1 This update follows upstream release: - Core: v6.2.1 (v6.2) - Web: v6.3 - FTL: v6.3 No major changes in the package except support for /opt/etc/pihole/postinstall.sh script that will run after the install/upgrade script is done. This script can be used to...

    Entware Cron on asus stock firmware

    To solve the privileges problem create /opt/var/spool/cron/cron.allow file with "admin" inside it. /opt/etc/crontab must be 600 and owned by root user (admin), otherwise it won't be executed.

    Can you provide some data on this? I would love to see some comparisons and benchmarks

    Collection of scripts for stock firmware

    Recently added a new script: vpn-monitor - basically a copy of VPNMON but basic and limited

    I'm reserving this for future use.

    Entware Lost /opt/bin files

    Backups, backups, backups! Wget 5 error code is SSL verification failure Make sure your clock is synced, maybe you also deleted some files in /opt/etc/ssl? What I would do is to force reinstall all the packages: # manually opkg list-installed opkg install --force-reinstall <package> # or...

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    I have mine set to 31, that's also now a default when installed through my project, Pi-hole's default is 91. If you really don't care about the historical data you can just set it to 3-7.

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    When Pi-hole does database maintenance it loads whole pihole-FTL.db to memory, try reducing number of days for the queries on Settings->Privacy page to reduce file size. And obviously, gravity update will definitely spike up the memory usage.

    Their logicals.json is definitely different to what I am getting from Proton API. For example, theirs has way more FREE servers than what I am getting...

    Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

    When a client does more than 1000 queries within one minute I would check why is that rather than raising the limit A common thing causing this might be uBlock/Brave shields making websites to misbehave, investigate on the device itself

    Unbound Unbound Tuning for gaming

    Perhaps running two instances of Unbound (one for ipv4 and one for ipv6) would push the optimizations to maximum, might achieve even higher hit rate this way. Edit: I consulted this with AI, it obviously agrees that running two instances will be better. Judgement day ain't happening anytime soon.

    Unbound Unbound Tuning for gaming

    1232 is the recommended value. The optimizations you aim for are only worth it if you expect to serve thousands+ of clients per minute. The AI replies you keep posting are worthless, next time you prompt the AI you should ask for exact sources of each information, including links. If the AI is...
