    Router stops resolving hostnames with local DNS servers

    I have an Asus RT-AX82U running stock firmware. I have enabled the DHCP server and manually assigned static IP addresses to my devices. The issue arises when I set local DNS servers under the LAN tab. In this configuration, my router stops resolving hostnames for devices on my network. However...

    Router performing crippling "DNSKEY" look-ups out of the blue

    Hi, Sometimes, out of nowhere as I really cannot put a clock or any preceding event to it, the router suddenly starts sending out thousands of queries for "." (without quotes, so literally just a dot). The type is "DNSKEY, plain DNS" and, probably due to the sheer volume of them (we're talking...

    Unbound Unbound - Warning WAN: Use local caching DNS server as system resolver=YES

    Hello, I am using Tailscale as a VPN to my router, which is running Unbound. When I use my router as an exit node, the DNS address is shown to be those of 9.9.9.9, which I have as my WAN DNS. This behavior demonstrated with the setting "use local cache as system resolver" off. However, if I turn...

    AI mesh and Pihole DNS spam: what I found out and where I’m stuck

    Hi, So I’ve done some digging to the best of my abilities, but I can’t fix the problem so here I am. Ever since I hooked up my new router (RT-BE86U running the latest merlin) my previous one (RT-AX86U running the latest merlin) has been placed upstairs as a wired backhaul AI mesh. My router...

    IPv6 Not Allowing Manual DNS Server

    I recently changed ISPs and the new ISP uses CG-NAT but allows IPv6 passthrough. I enabled it and my clients can get IPv6 IPs which helps get around the limitations of CG-NAT to some degree but I also use Pihole on my local network with the router configured to give out the pihole IP as DNS. I...

    DNS Director (Global redirection = router, User defined 1 = pihole) not sending anything to user defined 1

    Hi, I recently decided to try DNS Director after I found an astonishing number of IoT things circumventing my piholes (plural). I think I have it configured correctly, but my devices that are configured to use the second pihole in DNS director are still using the main pihole advertised in the...

    Why is my DNS director not working?

    Hi, So I’ve setup my DNS director to send everything to my raspberry pi running pihole. It’s also running unbound. The raspberry pi is listed under clients with no redirection just to be sure. But when I use an ios app called DNS inspector, and I search for a domain (that would normally get...

    Solved RT-BE96U internet connection issue

    So I recently upgraded to an RT-BE96U from an RT-AC5300 and I've been experiencing a really strange issue. What happens is my internet connection across my wireless network (wired clients seem to be ok) is dropped.... except the router never loses internet. The router is pulling an IPV4 WAN IP...

    Does DNS director block port 53 and/or 853 outgoing?

    Hi, So I have two raspberry PI's running pihole and unbound. I have set all my devices to those IPs as DNS, and set up DNS director. Basically it blocks everything and sends it to the raspberry pis. But I'm wondering: some clients may use hard coded DoT using port 853. Does DNS director block...

    Hardcoded Google DNS IPTABLES rule

    hi, I have GT-AXE16000 with Merlin's 3004.388.8_2 FW, and recently I figured out that Netflix app on my LG smart TV doesnt want to use my Adguard DNS and sends DNS requests directly to 8.8.8.8. Somehow DNS Director works bad with my setup, so I blocked 8.8.8.8 using Network Services Filter...

    Noob DNS questions

    I use Asus Merlin and I have a Pihole running on a personal server that is added as DNS on my network that all my devices use on my LAN. Is there some other type of DNS that I need to also setup? I disable all DNS on all my devices so it doesn't interfere with the Pihole. Is this bad practice...

    Pihole/Yazfi with guest network

    I have an Asus AC86U and a raspi with umbrel and pihole installed. My router has the DNS set to the pihole DNS and another DNS to use to resolve in case the first DNS isn't available. I do realise this means that both are used no matter what but it saves my network from crashing if the first...
