    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Disable adblocking in Diversion and test if it's any better or worse with it disabled.

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    NOTE: There is currently an issue with the popular DoT/DoH test site provided by Cloudflare where it will fail to use properly signed DNSSEC hostnames during the test, causing the test to fail to correctly detect that you are using DoT. This does not indicate that your setup doesn't work, and is...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    Pretty sure that DNS over TLS being enabled overwrites the WAN setting, so that shouldn't matter. I'm assuming this wiki was used for OpenVPN configs? https://x3mtek.com/policy-rule-routing-on-asuswrt-merlin-firmware/ What do you have for your LAN settings for DNS? Both fields DNS Server 1 and...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    With some extra configuration, Diversion will work over a VPN tunnel. The important part is that all DNS queries must be answered by the local DNS server Dnsmasq. See the website by @Xentrk with detailed instructions: https://x3mtek.com/policy-rule-routing-on-asuswrt-merlin-firmware/

    Don't think so, no. But that whitelist doesn't change very often. You can literally add all those domains manually to a custom whitelist and add yours.

    follow dnsmasq.log (f) > Filtered by blocked domains (3) > launch your app and start whitelisting domains Or tone down the blocklists to Standard+. Less is more in my opinion; the standard default blocklist is pretty stellar as-is: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Or use a hosted whitelist...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    You can only whitelist or blacklist individual domains, or use DNSFilter for a MAC address on your LAN to completely bypass diversion altogether (but it doesn't sound like you want to do that). follow dnsmasq.log (f) > Filtered by blocked domains (3) > launch your site and browse around and...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I suppose. I don't see any more or less domains being blocked on average. I find that 80% of domains are still served over port 80. The other 20% over 443.

    Some additional findings... my Nokia 7.1's battery almost lasts twice as long. Not sure if coincidental, but I appreciate the monster battery life with pixelserv-tls installed. Wonder if anyone else has had this experience, or if I'm just imagining things.

    pool start address = 192.168.99.3 pool end address = 192.168.99.254 You're setting your range to 192.168.99.3-192.168.99.254 (thus reserving 192.168.99.2 for Pixelserv-tls).

    You're talking about VPN. I don't think @adampk17 was setting up his router as a VPN Client, was he?

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    As far as I know, this DNSFilter setting has been around for quite some time and always worked this way. This functionality was added to prevent devices from hard-coding DNS and bypassing the router's settings (or vice-versa, to filter out particular MAC addresses on your LAN from using your...

    You can prevent Chrome (or any other IoT device) from circumventing your DNS settings by changing this setting: 1. Router admin page 2. LAN 3. DNSFilter 4. Enable DNS-based Filtering > On 5. Global Filter Mode > Router 6. Apply

    You can also try installing the pixelserv-tls certificate on your phone. Seemed to have helped me: https://github.com/kvic-z/pixelserv-tls/wiki/Create-and-Import-the-CA-Certificate I've had issues with a few apps on my phone where the desktop is fine with pixelserv-tls running, including...

    Yeah, definitely tail to log to check for domains that are tripping up the website. Remember with blocklists that sometimes less is more. The more monstrous the blocklist, the more good domains that end up being blocked. Try using Standard for the blocklist or Standard+ if you're using Skynet.

    My findings are as follows... even with NO sites blacklisted, the Amazon Shopping app fails. As a result, I've uninstalled it and will use Brave when I need to use Amazon on my phone. Otherwise, no other broken apps. So far, so good with my new USB drive with pixelserv-tls server running.
