    How to block a device from access to other devices on a LAN?

    I have no problem using VPN Director together with YazFI, routing guest networks through VPN.

    How to block a device from access to other devices on a LAN?

    Why not use the Guest network with client isolation? Mind you, I've not used the stock Asus firmware for a while so I'm not 100% sure this option is available without Asus-Merlin.

    News Trend Micro: Cyclops Blink Sets Sights on Asus Routers

    I'm glad they cleared up the wording on the affected versions

    AdGuardHome [RELEASE] Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI)

    Recommend using uBlock origin in the browser, or, a completely different client, like Freetube. YMMV :)

    How to speedtest between Router <-> PC

    It's definitely on the router :)

    News Trend Micro: Cyclops Blink Sets Sights on Asus Routers

    Just to add: I change both the password and the admin account name. The other thing, which I've not done, is check if the Command and Control IP's listed in trend's article (pdf actually) are blocked by skynet. Of course, that maybe a constantly changing landscape.

    News Trend Micro: Cyclops Blink Sets Sights on Asus Routers

    Just to add to that, I'd be worried if it's 0.0.0.0:8443, but not if <internal_IP>:8443 :)

    Each Firefox download has a unique identifier

    Don't like it. I'm curious if Pihole / Adguard filter that type of telemetry with their default blocklists

    News Trend Micro: Cyclops Blink Sets Sights on Asus Routers

    Always good to assume the worst. When reading the Asus advisory they state (towards the end) "If you have already installed the latest firmware version, please disregard this notice." Would be great to get a confirmation of course :)

    News Trend Micro: Cyclops Blink Sets Sights on Asus Routers

    I'm wondering about that because it says affected version are below .386.xxxx, so anything with .386.wxyz should be fixed.

    News Trend Micro: Cyclops Blink Sets Sights on Asus Routers

    So it sounds like you need firmware at or above 3.0.0.4.386.xxxx Or any of the 386 based Merlin versions?

    Pi hole DNS Filtering ?

    No. If you put pihole in your lan settings, the router will advertise itself along with the pihole. That's the whole point of what we're trying to avoid here.

    Pi hole DNS Filtering ?

    See if you can put Pihole in the WAN DNS settings. At one point Asus stock firmware worked that way, then it didn't (they made a change) but I _believe_ they may have reverted it recently. Since I don't run the stock firmware, I'm not 100% on that of course, you'll have to try it. If it...

    Pi hole DNS Filtering ?

    If you're not running Merlin, I believe the router will auto-add its IP to the DNS servers (Merlin makes it configurable). Probably best to double check that on the client to ensure consistent filtering.

    Not worried but anyone else being port scanned constantly ATM from a particular region?

    My drop numbers are no higher than normal. Nor are the destinations different than what I typically see. YMMV of course.

    If anyone is concerned, there's many ways to check sha signatures. I use this: https://www.linuxshelltips.com/verify-sha256-checksum-of-file-in-linux/

    AdGuardHome [RELEASE] Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI)

    Very true. Also, "competitors" have this. Is it fair to call free software competitors? Anyway, if this is critically important, pihole can do this. I totally agree with Jack, people spend too much time worrying about 'system lookups' that are normally just there, unseen, to make certain...

    Port forwarding through 2 routers

    None of that makes sense, your mixing up 'what it takes for someone to connect to my wireless network" with "what an app can open for 2 way communication on my firewall without me making config changes"

    Breaking Newes. Newegg Scandal.

    @RMerlin thanks for that breakdown! Sadly I don't think this is _that_ unique, they're just really dumb about it. Recently purchased a Netbook for my wife from Amazon, arrived clearly having been opened, fingerprints on screen and the logo damaged and partially peeled off. Their response was...
