    Issue with DNSFilter with 386.7_2

    Hi, Thanks for testing that, the behaviour you are seeing is what I expected when I configured the DNSFilter to begin with, but for whatever reason that's not what happens for me - as I've said in my case DNSFilter does not allow requests to pass to whatever is configured in LAN DNS 2.

    Issue with DNSFilter with 386.7_2

    Hey, thanks for linking that config, I will try that later. One question: I'm not very familiar with dnsmasq configuration, but it sounds like strict-order make dnsmasq use the addresses in resolv.conf in-order (not inverse order), which means WAN DNS 1 first and WAN DNS 2 (the pihole) second...

    Issue with DNSFilter with 386.7_2

I also understand how to design configure and maintain DNS for large enterprise networks, which is one of the things I do professionally. My confusion was centred around the DNSFilter configuration the Asus router...

    Issue with DNSFilter with 386.7_2

    According to the description of the router option in DNSFilter, they aren't mutually exclusive settings: ""Router" will force clients to use the DNS provided by the router's DHCP server" What's actually happening is that 10.0.0.3 is serving all DNS requests, even when they're sent to 10.0.0.1...

    Issue with DNSFilter with 386.7_2

    Hi, Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I've got an issue with DNSFilter on my RT-AC68u running merlin 386.7_2 (but this issue also affected previous versions). I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I don't understand something about DNSFilter (quite possibly the latter). My router is at...
