    Save/ Restore DHCP assignments & icons (LAN -> DHCP Server -> Manually Assigned IP)

    There must be a way to execute some script (after ssh into the router) which captures the DHCP table from nvram... and them some way of restoring this. My issue is more of the typing of MAC addresses and doing so without making a mistake.

    Save/ Restore DHCP assignments & icons (LAN -> DHCP Server -> Manually Assigned IP)

    I have a ASUS RT-AX88U router that I need to factory reset (for various reasons). On the LAN -> DHCP Server... I have around 20 manually assigned IP addresses and with assigned icons I will lose all these entries as soon as I do a factory reset and will then have to type these in manually...

    Looking for the cheapest Asus router which natively (through ASUSWRT) supports both WireGuard & VPN Fusion

    Quick question: Is this a closed beta or is this beta version available to test? Router: AX88U

    Tutorial AdGuard Home - adblocker - Clean install on Asus Merlin (No 3rd party scripts !!!)

    Thanks for the detailed setup instructions... - What address did you choose for the DNS listener? All Interfaces or 192.168.1.1 or 127.0.0.1? - Also, wouldn't the initial setup throw an error because 53 is already in use? (Bind: address already in use)

    Tutorial AdGuard Home - adblocker - Clean install on Asus Merlin (No 3rd party scripts !!!)

    I have finally managed to install AdGuard Home on an Asus Router.... this is without using any special scripts. There was a previous forum post (here) on the same, but that involved installing using a custom script (that asked for your ssh login credentials, installed its own version of Samba...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker v4.2.x (see new thread for 4.3.x)

    @thelonelycoder Is there anyway of bypassing a client to not use the Diversion Ad-Blocking and just use the DNS services as provided by the router (or as provided by the ISP)? Apologies, it is a slightly long post - but I have read through the FAQs and other forum posts and the suggested ways...

    Asus RT-AC68U Merlin DNSFilter + 2 PiHole's?

    Thanks… But how do I prevent certain clients (the ones I want to exclude from the VPN) from using this WAN DNS (i.e. the PiHole server)? Is there any way to exclude certain clients from using this WAN DNS and have them use the standard ISP provided WAN DNS instead?

    Asus RT-AC68U Merlin DNSFilter + 2 PiHole's?

    Understood. Is there any guide or some links or reading material (or if you can assist) in getting a separate instance of dnsmasq on an Asus RT-AX88U router for VPN Client 1? Thanks...

    Asus RT-AC68U Merlin DNSFilter + 2 PiHole's?

    Update: 2 reasons cannot do that. 1) The DNS server (is a private address) and is only accessible once the OVPN is connected. 2) Even if I made PiHole accessible as a public resolver [which I do not want to do] and put up the address as the WAN server; this means that other devices that are not...

    Asus RT-AC68U Merlin DNSFilter + 2 PiHole's?

    If I do not use Exclusive, the query does not even go to the VPN server. I have tried strict, but the query is then resolved by the Wan DNS setting, rather than being sent over the VPN to the PiHole. There must be some way for the VPN connection to respect the dnsmasq flags or some means to...

    Asus RT-AC68U Merlin DNSFilter + 2 PiHole's?

    Both are already done. pihole-FTL.conf file contains EDNS0_ECS=true and running latest versions Pi-hole v5.3.1; Web Interface v5.5.1; FTL v5.8.1 On a side note; EDNS0_ECS=true should not be needed as it is by default=true (as per PiHole documentation), but I have still put it in the file...
