I use ControlD for my DNS servers which return 0.0.0.0 for blocked domains so I've added the following to my dnsmasq configuration via the dnsmasq.conf.add file: bogus-nxdomain=0.0.0.0 however, for some reason I keep getting the following messages in my logs every few seconds: Nov 15 15:03:33...

I'm able to test the email sending functionality via SSH using the email command directly so I assume things are configured correctly. However, no matter what I do I can't get AiProtection to send me an email. For example if I go to...

Is there a way to get AiProtection to send a test email either via the GUI or via SSH? I'm trying to see if my settings are correct for it to send emails but I can't figure out a way to get a test email sent. Thanks, Harry

I updated my RT-AX86U router and RT-AX86S node to 388.4 a few days ago and did a full factory reset and reconfigure. Yesterday I lost WiFi ability for about 20 minutes (devices would error out trying to connect). Today I finally got a chance to check the router log and it's full of the...

I'm trying to add iptables rules to forward a port over my WireGuard client connection to a machine on the LAN. If I run a WireGuard client directly on the machine in question the port is forwarded, however, doing so through the router is proving difficult. Here are the rules I've added...

I noticed that my logs are full of the following events (I've removed the MAC addresses and any other data that might be sensitive) Sep 27 21:57:53 kernel: wl0: random key value: REDACTED Sep 27 21:57:53 hostapd: eth6: STA REDACTED IEEE 802.11: disassociated Sep 27 21:57:53 wlceventd...

Wondering if anyone can confirm that multiple DNS servers configured for a WireGuard client won't actually work. The GUI allows you to put in multiple servers in the DNS field for a WireGuard client and the log confirms that the client will be forced through both servers but if you look at the...

Just doing some more comparing of settings between a RT-AX86U running 386.7.2 and a RT-AX86U Pro running 388.4 and I noticed that the RT-AX86U Pro doesn't have the option to enable GeForce NOW QoS Upnp Control on the Adaptive QoS->QoS page. Has this feature been removed in the 388.x firmware or...

Does anyone know what the "Enable NAT - IPv6" option does exactly on the VPN->VPN Server->Others->WireGuard VPN Server->Advanced Settings page? More specifically, if this setting is disabled, does it still allow IPv6 addresses over the WireGuard connection but just doesn't NAT them, or does it...

I was just comparing some settings between my RT-AX86U running 386.7.2 and a RT-AX86U Pro running 388.4 and I noticed that the RT-AX86U Pro doesn't have an option to enable Jumbo Frames in the GUI under LAN -> Switch Control. Is this something that was removed in general in the 388 version of...

What script would be the correct place for changing the IP routes on the router? There are two scripts (firewall-start and nat-start) for modifying iptables rules but there doesn't seem to be one for changing routes. My gut would say to put it in nat-start since that gets called after...

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the VPN DNS server(s) for a OpenVPN client? For WireGuard it's pretty simple since there is a field in the GUI that corresponds to a NVRAM key/value, but for OpenVPN I believe the DNS servers are provided by the OpenVPN server so there isn't an actual...

I'm trying to get a slightly better understanding of how VPN Director works and possibly at the same time fix the issue that comes up when someone tries to use the same DNS server (for example 1.1.1.1) for multiple WireGuard VPN clients...

I noticed that the BusyBox that Asus routers run (in my case on an RT-AX6000 running 388.4) is a really really old version (1.25.1) which was released about 7 years ago. I'm writing a script which could benefit from process substitution which is only available in newer versions of the BusyBox...

I've completely rewritten this post to better explain the issue ... I have several WireGuard VPN connections setup with different clients directed through each VPN connection. Here's an illustrated view of the setup: 192.168.1.2 -> VPN Tunnel #1 -> Germany 192.168.1.3 -> VPN Tunnel #2 ->...

I'm working at setting up the WireGuard server on a RT-AX6000 running 388.4 and I've got a weird issue happening. I've added several clients to the server and everything was working fine, but as soon as I reboot the router I am unable to connect again. After some troubleshooting it looks like...

Just wondering what peoples comments are about whether a WireGuard VPN watchdog is needed or useful? I know the firmware checks if data is being received over the WireGuard VPN tunnel and restarts the WireGuard client if it's not receiving any data but from testing I determined that it only...

I noticed that not all of the hostnames specified in my manual DHCP list can be resolved by other devices. I think the devices that can't be resolved are maybe supplying a different hostname during the DHCP request and that is being used instead. So I'm wondering about two things. Can I see...

I'm planning to switch my subnet from the super common 192.168.1.x to something more unique like 192.168.22.x for example (to avoid VPN related IP address conflicts). However I have some printers that various clients access via hard coded IP addresses. Until I get around to changing those on...

I've figured out how to run a Socks5 proxy server that sends the traffic over a VPN connecting but the setup requires adding a secondary or alias IP address to the br0 interface (which is then routed to the VPN connection by specifying that IP address in the VPN Director). However, since...
