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

    I noticed that his behaviour is configurable in AdGuardHome's settings (in case you're looking for an easy way to change the DoT behaviour) :) Since you're already running Merlin ... Just FYI.

    AdGuardHome Can I block YouTube ads?

    The top entry in the pihole FAQ is that you can NOT block youtube ads with pihole.

    YazFi YazFi DHCP lease times

    These are tiny packets and the load of renewing devices once a day should be negligible. I'm curious what you're trying to achieve :)

    DNS leak test fail ONLY on wifi devices?

    People put too much faith in DNS leak test output :)

    [Help needed] Reachhing a router behind another router through DDNS and port forwarding.

    @mozbius just to add to what ColinTaylor said, here's info on the reserved address spaces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses

    DNS leak test fail ONLY on wifi devices?

    @Silent-OCN you need to provide more details. What is the DNS settings on the clients that are wired? What about the ones on Wifi? What is your VPN setup on the router? Ideally with some screenshots so people can see what's going on :)

    Is this too close?

    I've got 2 routers that are in a similar config, maybe an extra foot or so apart and it works for us. Are you seeing any issues when using this setup? Reach decreased or slowdowns / disconnects? If not, I say use it even if perhaps not ideal.

    How's your DNS configured in the WAN section?

    Improving my Bufferbloat score

    If you're maxing out the upload, why would you expect the pings to be the same as when the link has lots of capacity remaining? :)

    ASUS routers with at least 128 manually assigned IPs

    You say you're using YazDHCP already, so you should have no problem assigning more than 128 IPs manually. Though, why, on that router, with that many clients .... that's the more important question IMO. :)

    WAN DNS Settings: AdGuard, Ad block

    Youtube serves ads from the same domains as their content, so it's very difficult to block via dns. One way to block it is in browser, with uBlock origin. As ad blocking via DNS lists becomes more popular, I'd expect that more apps serve up ads in a manner that makes it harder to block by...

    amtm Which DNS solution do you prefer, and Why?

    Also Stubby. Reasons: It works I use the router as an additional 'hop' for my Pihole and from the router out it's using DoT (I.e. client -> Pihole -> Router - then DoT -> Upstream DNS) I also use AdguardHome on a separate network (and different router) but it's not as easy and at times seems...

    Cannot install Merlin on AX-58U

    Hopefully I expressed myself well enough. I'm not trying to excuse the entitlement and general 'everything should be done for me the way I want when I want' attitude. I'm just trying to express Hanalon's Razor in a more 'polite' way :) Never attribute to malice that which is adequately...

    Cannot install Merlin on AX-58U

    I honestly think it's people who just don't understand. I don't think they mean harm, but that they just don't know. But maybe I'm an optimist :)

    Cannot install Merlin on AX-58U

    Well, if you have the ax58U v1, then Merlin will of course work fine. If not, and the 58 is sufficient for your needs, you could go to a AX68 which is the next step up. The AX68 is quite new, model wise, and as far as I know there's only a single version so far :) Good luck

    Cannot install Merlin on AX-58U

    The AX3000 and the AX58 are the same model. Also, if having 3rd party software support for the router you buy is critical to your purchasing decision, _you_ need to make sure that the hardware you purchase is supported by the 3rd party. In this case, a single individual who does a TON of work...

    Appreciate the update and thank you again for all your hard work!

    Why do I want to overcomplicate my Lan?

    "Why" depends on your usecase. For us, we work from home, which means dealing with corporate provided equipment, i.e. 'untrusted' equipment from my perspective. So that equipment goes on a guest network. I don't run IoT equipment, but if I did, again, untrusted, separate guest network...

    Which port is being used to update DDNS?

    Are you sure? VPN _outbound_ you need to tell them the dynamic port? Or DDNS they need to open traffic from a dynamic port? Edit to add: If you want to use DDNS so that you can VPN into your router, then for the VPN server, you need to open a port on the LAN firewall. But DDNS isn't a...

    Skynet Does whitelisting a DDNS domain only block the IP resolved when adding? Or update regularly? Frequency?

    I ssh into my router regularly. But I VPN into the router first, so that I don't expose the SSH port. No issues with skynet and I can also bounce though there if I need to do anything where I want it to look like I'm coming from the same IP as always. Something to consider perhaps, easy to setup.
