    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    I'm also using DNScrypt, so I've messed about with my dnsmasq config file quite a lot. I'll have to have a more thorough look at it.

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    really great solution you've got here. got some issues though: using standard list, some domains dont work, like torproject.org and ask.fedoraproject.org, plus others that I consider perfectly good domains. If I disable ad-blocking, then re-enable it, then they work, until the next scheduled...

    dnsmasq blacklist filtering

    Hi. I've got an ASUS RT-AC68U with merlin 380.65. I've configured DNSCrypt using Entware. I was using the Cisco Familyshield provider with DNSCrypt, but don't like that they log requests and dont provide DNSsec, plus Youtube always thinks im coming from a neighbouring country, and...

    mixed IPv6 & IPv4 on LAN?

    thanks. what are the benefits to this? none at all apart from that I get some familiarity with IPv6? Will the IPv4 part of my router still work in exactly the same way for all other IPv4 devices on my LAN against the IPv4 Internet?

    mixed IPv6 & IPv4 on LAN?

    Hi. I've got an ISP that assigns a dynamic IPv4 address, and im using some kind of gateway box that the fibre connects to from the road, no idea whats in it, that then connects to my router, an ASUS RT-AC68U running asuswrt-merlin fw 380.65. My LAN then sits behind my ASUS router. It's all...

    uh-oh... dying radios AC-RT68U?

    hahaha, im such a dumbass! I must have pressed the button both times by accident. I _did_ pick it up with my right hand on the side where the button is.

    uh-oh... dying radios AC-RT68U?

    I know this is hardware related most likely and N/A for this forum in that case, but has anybody experienced same? I physically moved the router 10cm. a few mins later I noticed I had no connection to router from any device. Sure enough, radio LEDs were turned off. I rebooted the router, but...

    Thanks for the tip! I'll look into it.

    using hosts file w/ dnscrypt on entware

    I googled a bit and found out that you could link to an external hosts file from dnsmasq's config file using InList but this did not work and seems to be a known bug in Dnsmasq. There was another forum tip though about excluding whole domains right in the dnsmasq conf file, for those domains...

    dropped connections Asus AC-RT68U

    Not sure if this is a solution but I unchecked the tick box for using dfs channels in the wireless config a few days ago and yesterday I had a full day without a single dropped connection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    dropped connections Asus AC-RT68U

    Google translate doesn't do a good job of translating the previous post to English, but the gist is that he has the same problem as me where the connection breaks every 5-20 minutes on the 2.4 band. I'm mostly on the 5 band and I get the same issue. Only 2.4ghz device I have is a Google nexus 10

    dropped connections Asus AC-RT68U

    Just realised I did not have TCP keepalives enabled in my Putty config, so this could be the reason why my connection times out eventually from work. Seems like it could be a pure wireless issue then.

    dropped connections Asus AC-RT68U

    Im thinking that it cannot be an ISP problem, because even if the ISP dropped the connection, wireless connection to my router would be unaffected.

    dropped connections Asus AC-RT68U

    Ok, I've factory defaulted the router, and I did not restore an config file at all: I manually re-configured the router. I did restore my jffs partition though with my script files. The problem is still happening from 2 different wirelessly connected laptops and on a wired connection to my...

    using hosts file w/ dnscrypt on entware

    I got DNScrypt working on my Asus AC-RT68U and im using the Cisco family shield resolver, because i've got kids I want to protect. However, I would prefer to use an OpenNIC resolver, because Cisco logs requests. But I cannot find another resolver that has an equivalent of Family Shield. So, my...

    recent ruling: eu open hotspots

    Has anyone started password protecting their open hotspots since the recent eu case that ruled that the router owner was not responsible for others activities on his router, but that from now on, open hotspots need to be password protected? I use OpenWireless.org's rules for maintaining an open...

    dropped connections Asus AC-RT68U

    Thanks I'll check out the DFS thing. Don't know where to find out info on which channels my country uses though. I do however live next to a military installation that has radar so it could be that, however, I still get dropped connections when using Putty from work and my home router is...

    dropped connections Asus AC-RT68U

    The last few releases, i've noticed problems with dropped connections from my wireless laptop on 5GHz. They last a minute or so before my laptop re-connects. I thought it was a wireless issue but when i've got my putty session up at work, it too can lose the connection despite the server being...

    DOSed by ssh connection attempts. what to do

    I think I changed my mind about keeping ssh on port 22 :) I think i'll move it. But just to clarify, I do not allow ssh to the _router_ from the internet and do not allow GUI access either. I NAT port 22 in the router config to my home server, and connect to the sshd on the server. (But I...

    DOSed by ssh connection attempts. what to do

    ive always been in the camp of "secure through obscurity is the wrong road to follow", but then again, even though I trust the security of my Fedora server, it's a non-trivial problem to have a flooded router (if thats the issue at all), so I might change the port. i always thought that...
