    How to setup Pi-hole to work with Merlin?

    I also had an SD card fail on my Pi4 so I set it up to use an SSD instead of an SD card. Works great. It's critical to use an enclosure that the PI will recognize properly in order to get the best storage speed and to be able to enable TRIM. I use the UGREEN enclosure for the SSD (see below)...

    Port Forwarding Problem on AC68U

    FINALLY figured it out. Turns out to be a setting on the Synology. Appears to be a new setting that I didn't have to use before. Thanks again for the help.

    Port Forwarding Problem on AC68U

    OK ... I see the rule now. Thank you. But I'm still stumped as to why it's no longer working. Here's my setup on the Synology:

    Port Forwarding Problem on AC68U

    I'm running 386.1_2 on an RT-AC68U and I'm unable to get port forwarding to work. It used to work but I don't know when it stopped working. Basically I have remote cameras in my mother's house and I'm forwarding recorded video to an FTP server running on my Synology NAS. I've setup this port...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I re-installed 386.1 and this time did a full factory default reset and reconfigure and 386.1 is running fine now with no wireless issues. So, I don't know what the issue was before but it was likely something specific to my setup. Thanks Merlin for your continuing contributions to the Asus...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.1 is now available

    I've been running 384.19 since it was release without issues on a RT-AC68U V2. Decided to try a 'dirty' upgrade to 386.1 but unfortunately 5 GHz wifi was very unstable after the upgrade. Connection dropped every few minutes. Reloaded 384.19 and did a factory default reset (I.E. power on holding...

    DNS redirect to local DNS server

    Figured it out. You were right about the Private DNS setting. Had to figure out how to turn that off since that setting isn't exposed on the UI. You have to enable Developer options and then enable USB debugging. Then use adb (android debug bridge) to send the following command from a PC to the...

    DNS redirect to local DNS server

    Unfortunately no matter what I do on the Fire, the Google DNS 8.8.8.8 is always inserted as an extra DNS server and Leaktest shows it uses Google instead of my Pihole. I suppose this is how they enforce ads on the device. Quick internet search shows others seeing this same behavior. Also, the...

    DNS redirect to local DNS server

    I use Pihole in my DNS setup but my Amazon Kindle Fire HD10 bypasses my DNS configuration and goes to Google. How do I prevent this? 10.4.58.4 is the IP address for my RaspberryPI4 running Pihole.

    Release [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.19 beta is now available

    Sorry but now I'm confused. The change log for AC68U says this: - UPDATED: Merged bwdpi components from 385_20630 firmware image for RT-AC68U. And the ASUS website shows this related to 3.0.0.4.385.20630. So RMerlin replaced the component that had the vulnerability? Just trying...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.17 (and 384.13_8) are now available

    What model router do you use? No one can help you if you don't provide this information.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.15 (and 384.13_4) are now available

    One again, I'm not referring to the wan-related scripts. I'm referring to the services-start script which is related to all services, not just wan-related functions.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.15 (and 384.13_4) are now available

    Hey, I appreciate your help but the Wiki refers to wan-start as being deprecated not services-start.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.15 (and 384.13_4) are now available

    Did that. I don't see any mention of services-start. I see a note about wan-start but I'm referring to a different script.

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.15 (and 384.13_4) are now available

    Just upgraded to 384.15 on my RT-AC68U. I really like the SkyNet integration. Has the services-start script been deprecated? I have a "cru" command in this script to schedule a log cleaning script to run. However, services-start doesn't seem to have been triggered after a reboot because my...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14 (and 384.13_2) are now available

    Here's my solution for this logging issue. This will remove these lines from the log every 2 hours. Create a script in /jffs/scripts and name it logcleanup or whatever you want: #!/bin/sh /bin/sed -i '/wlceventd_proc_event/d' /tmp/syslog.log Make it executable: chmod +x...

    Guest Networks Issue

    Yep ... that's the way I had it setup. Just curious ... what happens if I select "Connect to DNS Server automatically" = Yes? In that case I assume Pihole COULD get bypassed if a client ends up using the router's address as the DNS server instead of the Pi's address. So, in that scenario...

    Guest Networks Issue

    If I understand your question, you're asking if clients will bypass Pihole due to this setting. That's a good question. When I tested this with my laptop connected to the guest network, both the router and the Raspberry Pi addresses were given to my laptop as DNS servers. Since the Pi is...

    Guest Networks Issue

    The router is already setup to use the Pi as the DNS server. But changing the setting "Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS" to YES seems to do the trick. Thanks!

    Guest Networks Issue

    I think I understand what's going on but I'm not sure how to address it. First, my setup. My router's IP address is 10.10.10.1 (not really but this is an example). I have a RaspberryPi setup on 10.10.10.2 which runs Pihole as a network-wide adblocker and the Pi also runs unbound as my DNS...
