    New to ASUS routers, freaked out by Trend Micro

    Aren't those signature files located / activated in the router firmware after initial connection to Trend? Any info as to how often those signature files require regeneration? I have not had any additional DNS requests from trend other than the initial requests when I first enabled it a...

    New to ASUS routers, freaked out by Trend Micro

    This would seem strange to me strictly in terms of the QOS service. It doesn't rely on Trends servers for basic functionality since it does the work at the router level, so what they would have to do if they don't like that I'm not constantly phoning home is actively disable / re-enable a...

    New to ASUS routers, freaked out by Trend Micro

    Question... Speaking specifically about QOS and Trend Micro privacy concerns, can't one just block the DNS requests to Trend Micro and still get the QOS features without the privacy concerns? For instance, in my case, I enabled the QOS in my Asus RT-AX88U with Merlin, allowed the initial...

    Configure Adguard TLS DNS with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Thank you for your reply. So I've done what you've suggested and here are the results. Those default IP addresses (that you referenced above, and that I changed the router to reflect) do not appear to be encrypted. Clearly I have very limited networking knowledge, but when I run a trace...

    Configure Adguard TLS DNS with Asuswrt-Merlin

    Sorry for the newb question... I searched first but couldn't find a definitive answer. Also tried following this guide, but can't complete it due to the following... So I recently set up Adguard DNS, added the "plain DNS server addresses" (94.140.14.49 and 94.140.14.59) to my RT-AX88U with...
