    Dnscrypt from opendns

    Edit: I have a question... if I list 4 loopback address's with different port numbers in the /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add file, does the router (dnsmasq) just use the dns server that responds the fastest? https://ipleak.net/ only shows it seems the closest server to where my vpn service...

    This method will work ipv6 or otherwise as long as streaming / web data is not https. If you are using a youtube app, more than likely it will be using https and most ads will not be filtered
