    Multiple DNS Servers - How does the router decide which one to use?

    I just let NextDNS handle it, personally.

    Multiple DNS Servers - How does the router decide which one to use?

    NextDNS doesn't play nicely with rebinding protection, and your log will be spammed with problems if you leave it enabled (likely due to NextDNS offering up a feature that also protects against rebinding -- it's in your profile's Security tab). In addition, NextDNS already does DNSSEC validation...

    Multiple DNS Servers - How does the router decide which one to use?

    If using NextDNS directly in the DoT servers section, DNS rebinding protection in the GUI/Dnsmasq needs to be disabled. Along with DNSSEC. If you're using the NextDNS CLI that uses DoH, it disables the settings for you, so nothing to do there.

    Multiple DNS Servers - How does the router decide which one to use?

    It mayyy be a tad faster in regards to latency, but it's difficult to notice in real situations. And AGH uses a lot of memory, which not everyone can afford to spare on their routers.

    AdGuardHome Thoughts on Adguardhome vs NextDNS

    Well they can both do that. That AX88U is more than capable, and you have nothing to lose if you want to give AGH another try.

    AdGuardHome Thoughts on Adguardhome vs NextDNS

    They are two different ways of achieving similar results. There are pros and cons to both. If you travel around a lot, and/or are resource-constrained on your home router, I recommend NextDNS. If you don't want to spend a little money or are not comfortable having an outside party resolve and...

    Multiple DNS Servers - How does the router decide which one to use?

    Or just create a stubby.postconf script and simply override the behavior. Assuming we are still talking about round-robin vs sequential order.

    Multiple DNS Servers - How does the router decide which one to use?

    I /believe/ the servers rotate after each request, but I'm not 100% sure.

    Multiple DNS Servers - How does the router decide which one to use?

    If you're referring to the DNS-over-TLS mode, it round-robins the servers due to how Stubby is configured. So to answer the question, it rotates through the list.

    NextDNS: Thumbs up, Thumbs down?

    I can live with a smaller blocklist in order to fit either Diversion or AGH inside my router's memory. But the main thing that has kept me with NextDNS are family profiles on mobile devices. That is, going outside the home. I also traveled to another country recently and NextDNS had a couple...

    uiDivStats This may be causing dcd tainted crashes.

    Are you running pixelserv-tls? That seems to be the thing always clashing with Trend Micro's engine

    NextDNS: Thumbs up, Thumbs down?

    I know fairly well what I'm doing, and in that regard I really like Diversion and AGH in concept. The problem is my AC86U's memory gets devoured with the blocklists I use, plus IPv6 support. So by offloading the work to NextDNS (I'm not locally loading the blocklists into router memory), my...

    NextDNS: Thumbs up, Thumbs down?

    Skynet should work with it, no problem. I use both together.

    NextDNS: Thumbs up, Thumbs down?

    Oh. I forgot. I also had a problem a few weeks ago where DNS would fail completely, and NextDNS would say something in the log like too many requests at one time, or something similar. The issue is due to how NextDNS does TTL. It forces a super low (default 5 seconds) TTL on clients so they are...

    NextDNS: Thumbs up, Thumbs down?

    The CLI that NextDNS themselves offers was problematic in the past and would stop resolving for no good reason. For me anyway. But I haven't had a problem lately. In fact, it's rather rock solid in terms of stability now. The only potential problem is when the WAN connection goes out for...

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

    This might interest at least someone. Optimized oisd.nl lists. GitHub - cbuijs/oisd: Optimized version of OISD BlockLists The dilemma I had was the full list was just what I needed, but unfortunately took up too much memory on the old RT-AC86U. It was fine on its own, but if I enabled...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.5 is now available

    I believe that's a feature of Skynet. It won't let you choose WAN for security reasons.

    YazFi YazFi v4.x

    Is there a way to have YazFi respect both the manual disabling of the wireless radios (i.e. the command: radio off) as well as the built-in wireless off-time scheduler? Both some cron jobs I made as well as the built-in scheduler worked great at router bootup during off-time hours; they...

    DoT

    The Cloudflare team never announced it, but I believe they have DoT over 1.1.1.2 as well as 1.1.1.3. However, it was my understanding that the TLS hostname is now security.cloudflare-dns.com due to the standard hostname being cumbersome (e.g. 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com). Maybe someone can...
