    Monitor internet speed using Asus router?

    Hey there mate, cant really help you with the router speedtest, but If you have device which can run docker there are some nice docker images. I use https://github.com/alexjustesen/speedtest-tracker myself I run mine on NAS, but you can run docker on anything nowadays.

    AdGuardHome Can I block YouTube ads?

    I used Revolut virtual card, I live in Ireland and I get charged €1 each month for YouTube premium. Maybe your debit card didn't work but mine did and continues working every month.

    AdGuardHome Can I block YouTube ads?

    Not really if you use free VPN service. You just need it for the subscription payment and then you can delete the VPN. So it's literally win-win.

    AdGuardHome Can I block YouTube ads?

    Not really a solution for your ad-blocking issue, but you can use VPN to get Youtube Premium from India for about 1$ a month :)

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

    I am going to test this, I never really paid attention to the cache TTL settings under AdGuard. Again I thought that unbound might be more efficient with working with the cache than AdGuard, and seeing 15% reduction of RAM usage on my router felt like I am doing something right. But then again...

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

    Just checked my PS5 queries in AdGuard from before and after I installed unbound, and it does seem like there is improvement in the response time. From the screenshots you can see unbound serves the cached entries for longer than Adguard does. and in the end when it goes to cloudflare DoT the...

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

    I see what you mean. I was thinking that I could lessen the load on the router by letting Adguard block whatever it needs to block (ads, trackers etc), and then use unbound cache to reslove most of my DNS querries so it reponds quicker since its chached and unbound chache doesnt use as much...

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

    I dont have forward-first: specified in my unbound.conf, and reading through unbound manual default value is "no" so I should be ok right? I installed unbound via amtm, and left everything by default, just un-commented the DoT forwarder vlaues.

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

    Isn't unbound still being used to reslove DNS querries from its cache and only whatever cant be matched is resolved with cloudflare DoT? With the current setup with unbound using cloudflare DoT as upstream, my router RAM usage is down 15% after disabling AdGuard cache. to me that seems like...

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

    I have vpnmgr set up to look for a new server every 4 hours, so hopefully I wont have to deal with lost connection too often, but I might look into the VPNMON script just to be safe. Even with 0.0.0.0/32 or 127.0.0.1/32 as router local IP in the VPN rule, DNS leak test still shows my ISP's...

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

    These are my rules. I dont mind using cloudflare as DoT with unbound, as long as its not causing any issues, which I cant see any so far I should be ok. I just dont want any unmatched querries going through my ISP's DNS, I'd rather use cloudflare. edit: with these rules when my Accept DNS is...

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

    When I set up my router in VPN Director to use NordVPN connection and comment out cloudflare DoT from unbound I still see my ISP's DNS server in DNS leak test. I have to set Accept DNS Configuration to "strict" or "exclusive" to have NordPVN IP show up as DNS server in DNS leak test. And if I do...

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

    I suppose I could create the rule with VPN Director for 10.0.0.1 right? My question is, if I comment out the cloudflare DoT section in unbound.conf and have just unbound deal with the DNS lookups, what DNS server is used if unbound cache doesn't match the query? If its using the NordVPN's DNS...

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

    I am using vpnmgr to connect to NordVPN servers, but I didnt like the adblocking capability of NordVPN DNS server so I've set Accept DNS Configuration to "Disabled" and now all my DNS queries are going through AdGuard, so thats probably why my DNS Leak test was showing my ISP's DNS server. My IP...

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

    Now that I have unbound listening address set up as an upstream DNS in the AdGuard settings, when I do DNS Leak test it shows my ISP's DNS server. Does this mean that all my DNS queries that are not cached within unbound are going through my ISP's DNS server? If so, is it possible to set up...

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

    I can confirm that setting up unbound and setting AdGuard's cache to 0 got my AX88U memory usage from 99% to 82%. I don't see any noticeable difference in the router's responsiveness tbh.
