    AdGuardHome AdGuard Home Intermittent DNS

    Hi there, Over the last couple of months I've been using Adguard Home on OPNsense and during the entire time I noticed intermittent DNS issues where all requests will be dropped seemingly for no reason. The internet connection will still be up but just for random periods DNS queries will fail...

    Switch WAN type from SSH

    This is not what I'm trying to achieve. I just created a python script to do the above changes.

    Switch WAN type from SSH

    Hi there, I seem to be struggling trying to get WAN type changes applied through SSH. So far for example I've tried: nvram set wan_proto=pppoe nvram set pppoe_username='x' nvram set pppoe_passwd='x' nvram commit service restart_wan But no dice. WAN configs dont change whatsoever in the web gui...

    Not able to ping to WAN

    OOF! I just went back to my OPNsense config and saw that I was using PPPOE WAN instead of DHCP. I reconfigured to PPPOE and tested inbound ICMP. Everything's working again!

    Not able to ping to WAN

    I can confirm the table is showing ICMP is allowed with 0 attempts being recorded even after I spammed pings from outside. This would suggest ISP might be causing some issue here. Strange because just 2 days ago with my OPNsense config everything was fine, pings were fine as well.

    Not able to ping to WAN

    No, in order to troubleshoot why inbound ICMPs specifically are getting blocked I kept my config as simple as possible to ensure nothing else may be causing this behaviour.

    Not able to ping to WAN

    Initially, I had a DDNS domain name configured, but I switched to using the public IP directly for testing, thinking it would give more accurate results. Still no luck. I'm not sure if I’m checking the system log correctly—I’ve set the firewall to log all dropped packets, but nothing seems to...

    Not able to ping to WAN

    Hi everyone, I recently switched from OPNsense back to Asus Merlin, and the only issue I'm facing is getting ICMP (ping) to work from external sources to my WAN. I’ve enabled the "Respond ICMP Echo (ping) Request from WAN" option, but it’s still not working. I even tried disabling the firewall...

    Convert AC88U to AP-only

    Hi there, I have an old Asus RT-AC88U that I would like to only behave like a wireless/ethernet AP with a router connected to it. How would I configured Merlin to disable all WAN related functionality?

    First time fiber networking question

    This I can deal with. I do intend to use the WHOLE 10Gbps throughput. Could potentially dremel a circular hole and add a 12v DC fan. It would be easy since I have a 12v DC PSU right next to it.

    First time fiber networking question

    The transceiver and fiber cable recommended by @follower seems to be spec'd similar to the ones I have mentioned. Also the transceiver I have mentioned someone from reddit said that's the one they use. I still intend to stick with what I've listed, it wouldn't be an issue right?

    First time fiber networking question

    Thank you this is really useful information. Now I can make a decision instead of just looking for words that match in the spec vs the product page. I found this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BZB6YX5/?tag=snbforums-20

    First time fiber networking question

    Hi there, I'm planning to pick up a MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN switch with FS SFP-10GSR-85 transceivers. This will be my first time delving into fiber and even though I read all the documentation and watched the videos I just want to confirm before pressing the button. I'm stuck figuring out...

    PBR for PPTP

    Sup peeps, Is it possible to get PBR for site based PPTP tunnel on Merlin? Specifically if I can direct ONLY traffic with "x" remote port over the PPTP tunnel instead of ALL internet traffic.

    Domain-based VPN Routing Script

    This is absolutely amazing and deals with an issue I've just figured out I had now. Just a quick question though: What of DNS's with rotating IPs? How are they handled?

    ExpressVPN AC88U v AC87U

    This is the information I was looking for thanks. Digging further though which router would you then recommend with ARMv8 CPUs or any other router that performs even better with VPN? Essentially changing the above question to "Which router is best for VPN preferably staying in the Asus range"

    ExpressVPN AC88U v AC87U

    Hi there, I've gotten ExpressVPN which seems to support firmware for up to RT-AC87U. I know it does not support the RT-AC88U which I have. Would it be worth getting a RT-AC87U for the performance difference over OpenVPN on the AC88U vs firmware provided by ExpressVPN on the AC87U? And will the...

    Random WAN drops

    Hi there, I'm using an Asus RT-AC88U currently on official 3.0.0.4.386_48260 but have been on the last 3 Merlin firmwares. I've been switching between official and Merlin to resolve an issue I've been having which seems to be random disconnects of the internet. The net would just drop but...

    DNScrypt DNSCrypt Error During Setup

    Hi there, I seem to be having an issue setting up DNSCrypt on my Asus RT-AC88U router with Merlin 386.7_2 installed. In the below spoiler I've added everything that I input on my side. I have WAN DNS configured on the webui and I have no DNS configured in DHCP/LAN settings. Is there maybe...
