    Yet another ugly clone of Asuswrt-Merlin firmware (extremely outdated now)

    Do you have a link to this FW that I can download? I have some spare RT-AC66R's that I can try it on. How does it compare to John9527's FW 378.43_2 ver 16E1?

    Fork 380.57 HGG-FINAL

    Regarding the comments about malware in the HGG code, I have run every anti-malware program I could access against this FW and no viruses or malware has ever been detected. I tried McAffee, Panda, Avast, Cleanmaster, Kasperski, MS Security Essentials, Spybot Search & Destroy, and Zozzle Java...

    Can't connect to plex securely

    Private Internet Access OpenVPN Client Custom Configuration

    I am having problems starting up OpenVPN with PIA myself. To further add to the confusion, here are a couple more custom config settings. http://www.thinhammer.com/index.php/9-vpn/2-setting-up-a-vpn-client-using-private-internet-access-pia From the SNB Forum for setting up the OpenVPN Client...

    RT-AC68u Firmware prior or ASUS lowering power

    I would like this clarified since I believe that your statement could be interpreted as the RT-AC68 retained its high power output. I believe that you are actually stating that the RT-AC68 and all subsequent Asus routers had a lower WiFi power output than the RT-N66 and RT-AC66 routers from...

    Will A New AC Router Bring You Wi-Fi Joy?

    Tim, Thanks for doing this research. I am always interested in the performance of the "Latest and Greatest" routers in "real world" environments. This article seems to verify and extend my own "in the wild" testing that showed no real performance gains in wireless downlink or uplink between...

    HGGomes, I have been using your fork FW for more than a month. I have been having problems with the PPPT and other VPN implementations like OpenVPN. Can you please send me a link to download the latest version of your FW for the Asus RT-N66, RT-AC66, and RT-AC68 Routers?

    What is a good, free,private DNS that doesn't log traffic?

    Oops, I made a mistake. When I was doing the DNSLeakTest.com extended testing on 84.200.83.161 212.47.228.136 I had a proxy server set to on. In that case, I saw that the DNSLeakTest.com extended test had my inquiry transmitted to/through 5-7 servers owned by Google in various countries...

    What is a good, free,private DNS that doesn't log traffic?

    I have tried combinations of these IP addresses as primary and secondary DNS settings in the LAN & WAN sections of John9527 Fork ver 14E1 and HGGomes fork off 378.55_0-3 DNS will not resolve and he web browser locks up so I cannot reach the internet. I put it in the IPv4 properties section...

    What is a good, free,private DNS that doesn't log traffic?

    I don't own IOS devices but my wife has a work iPhone. I tried this out on her i5 and turned on the VPN. That seemed to work. I don't know if that phone is "jailbroke", or not. On Android devices (Build 4.2 or higher) you need to either "root" the phone or, change the DNS resolver setting...

    What is a good, free,private DNS that doesn't log traffic?

    My apologies. I am not an IOS expert (Nor an expert in anything networking or network security related). I found the following webpages that seems to indicate it is fairly simple to put in a DNS IP address in an iPhone, or iPad. http://www.iphonehacks.com/2014/08/change-dns-iphone-ipad.html...

    DNSCrypt on Asus-Merlin Variants?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that. Since I know very little about it, I will have to research how difficult it will be to implement. This started out as just trying to get a couple IP addresses to plug into the router and has kind of ballooned.

    What is a good, free,private DNS that doesn't log traffic?

    1. I did exactly that manually entering the DNS resolver URL's in the routers and in the client servers and devices. That does get tedious when there are a dozen connections on a server and multiple connections on a PC. 2. Is there a way to ping the DNS server to ensure that the query is...

    DNSCrypt on Asus-Merlin Variants?

    In order to achieve my goal of using DNS resolvers that do not log, track, or block name resolutions, I do have to use specific DNS servers which have those features. That doesn't preclude Locale-aware name resolutions if I do not enable proxy server applications on the browser or network...

    What is a good, free,private DNS that doesn't log traffic?

    You can change the DNS server permanently if you root an Android device. Here is a quick method for a rooted Android phone. http://blog.varunkumar.me/2010/09/how-to-change-dns-server-on-android.html If you do not want to root your Android device, you can still change to different DNS resolver...

    What is a good, free,private DNS that doesn't log traffic?

    I entered two of the URL's into the Router under LAN => DHCP Server => Primary DNS & Secondary DNS. I checked "No" to router IP advertizing and "No" to allowing upstream DNS to resolve names. This seems to work just fine in terms of speed to resolve the URL. I have not tried a large...

    DNSCrypt on Asus-Merlin Variants?

    Joe, Thanks for the input that you and shooter40sw (love that Nome de Plume) provided. If you could expand on what you did to implement this, I would appreciate it. I have little experience with scripting so I need more handholding to get this implemented.

    DNSCrypt on Asus-Merlin Variants?

    By CDN are your referring to "Content Delivery Network"? If so, why would DNSCrypt be any worse than any other DNS provider? DNSCrypt seems to be associated with the "Free Web" movement and TOR but not a direct subsidiary. It seems to me that this would be a logical addition to the security...

    What is a good, free,private DNS that doesn't log traffic?

    Thanks I will try them tonight. I did finally manage to install DNSCrypt server on one of my servers but I am getting the error message that indicates it isn't working correctly. I am working through that to try to get it to work. Just having URL's of the servers to put into the NIC and in...
