    DNScrypt Dnscrypt Proxy Installer For Asuswrt-Merlin(Nov.)

    I found the performance of my internet dropped significantly (random delays in accessing web sites or within apps in iOS devices), so i've been testing different options. I turned off the relays, and I chose my servers manually to be servers in my own country (sweden), and only chose max 2...

    DNScrypt Dnscrypt Proxy Installer For Asuswrt-Merlin(Nov.)

    ok, thanks for the clarification. Have I chosen sane defaults or do people usually set other options during the install? And how to I test if DoH/DoT is working if I've only chosen servers that support those?

    DNScrypt Dnscrypt Proxy Installer For Asuswrt-Merlin(Nov.)

    Yes, it was probably me misinterpretting everything. If I run /jffs/scripts/services-stop to shutdown dnscrypt, then I can no longer ping a server from my PC. As soon as I start it again I can ping again. Im not sure how to interpret dnsleaktest.com. I thought all the servers were...

    large downloads flood my Asus AC68U

    I'm on 384.14. I did not think that I needed to have QoS when I had such a fat link. I thought QoS was only really helpful if link speed was a problem so that you had to manage what certain devices had access to? Anyway, when I did a new Steam update yesterday and it wanted to drag down a...

    large downloads flood my Asus AC68U

    It wasn't BitTorrent, it was Steam game updates that maxed out my d/l speeds. But I've also had it happen when grabbing several large files (5-10GB) from works ftp server. I couldnt find any MIMO option in the Professional tab? I do have CTF enabled, so i'll play around with that and see if...

    large downloads flood my Asus AC68U

    I've got a 500mbit synchronous fibre link that delivers what it's supposed to, and my download speeds (on sites that support it) maximise my links ability. So far so good. I've got CAT-6 & gigabit switches in the house, and my main computer is wired. If I start a long-running download on my...

    Dnscrypt from opendns

    Localcache On was the culprit, and that's why I was getting the error. But now I figured out that although you can refer to a conf file when starting the proxy, like this: ENABLED=yes PROCS=dnscrypt-proxy #ARGS="/jffs/configs/dnscrypt-proxy.conf" PREARGS="" DESC= If you have the domain...

    dnsmasq_restart doesn't clear cache

    is there a way to delete a thread in the forums so I dont look like an asshat for eternity? ;) Ta very much for the help. There's a saying in support i'm sure you've heard of... "the problem is between the chair and the keyboard".

    dnsmasq_restart doesn't clear cache

    I do have custom scripts enabled and it is working because my ddns is working from custom script. I was suspicious that I have copied text in from Windows into the conf file, so I tried dos2unix but it didnt help after a restart (old config still in /etc/dnsmasq.comf). I deleted the file and...

    dnsmasq_restart doesn't clear cache

    no they don't, it's still the config that was loaded when router was rebooted. clear-on-reload is not there and 2 old address= entries that I removed are still there from last reboot. I didnt know thats how it worked...seems like its not reading in the conf.add file when restarting the service

    dnsmasq_restart doesn't clear cache

    no it doesn't help. This is what my dnsmasq.conf.add looks like: clear-on-reload address=/idsoftware.com/0.0.0.0 There's nothing else in it, not even blank lines.

    dnsmasq_restart doesn't clear cache

    Using Merlin 380.65_2 on AC68U... I add a site to /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add to be blacklisted: address=/idsoftware.com/0.0.0.0 and then service restart_dnsmasq but it doesn't clear the cache and I can still ping that address. If I restart the router, then it works and ping within the...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    I un-installed ab-solution for the third time, and re-installed it, but dureing re-installation it gave a red warning about my router using the routers IP address for DNS resolution, and that I would need to reboot the router manually for it all to work. I skipped that bit and it all seemed to...

    AB-Solution - The Ad Blocking Solution

    Next question :) ... I've used pfsense/Shalla's list in the past, then Ciscos (OpenDNS) Family Shield DNScrypt provider, but that wasn't working as I wanted. AB Solution is a great fit, but i'd like to add a blacklist of pr0n/violence websites into the blacklist. First question is: does...
