    Hosts File?

    Never mind, I managed to figure it out. hosts.dnsmasq.add is not a valid configuration file anyway. Managed to get it to work with hosts.add. I put a copy in jffs and jffs/config just to be sure. All good now :)

    Giganews (VyprVPN) & RT-AC66U?

    Hi, The problem I had after messing with it for days turned out to be the way that the certificate was pasted into the box. You need to be sure that it is pasted with no line breaks. All I did was make the box for the certificate bigger and then saw the line breaks. Remove these line...

    YouTube!

    Thanks for the above. Just as a test I used Google's DNS Servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 With these in use I am getting the same problems, some videos not playing. Switch back to the ISP's DNS servers and all is good. This is quite annoying as I use the OpenDNS parental control feature...
