    DNS leaks to one site, and not any others

    I’m struggling to find out why one particular ‘DNS Leak Test’ site and no others can consistently show an IP from my local ISP. I use openvpn on Linux, and connect to a provider via CLI. I have the following in my .ovpn config: script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf down...

    PiHole - DNSCrypt/DNSSEC support (along with other things)

    Pihole is a caching DNS server based on DNSMasq that allows for DNS based ad-blocking and other items - need to blacklist a site, pihole can do this.... pihole runs great on a RPi2 with Rasbian Jessie - definitely worth a look - even without the ad-block features, it has a strong logging...

    strange IPv6 VLAN tag problem

    Hi, I have an AC68U running Merlin in AP mode connected to a PCEngines APU2 running Debian stretch that's acting as my home router. In addition to the regular wifi on vlan1 I created two guest networks + vlans (8+9) for IoT and guest devices that get their own IP ranges. My problem now is...

    What do people use for DNS at home?

    My router works ok, and I can assign MAC addresses to specific IPs, but I still have to enter all the IP addresses on each box manually. How do most users get around this issue? I don't want to remember all the IP's of everything in the house, but my wireless router doesn't offer any DNS...

    How to change DNS settings (for OpenDNS) in USB mode on Asus RT-AC51U?

    /jffs/configs/ not being recognized.

    Hi all, This is my first post, so please bear with me if this question has been asked before. (I was not able to find it asked within the last 5 years so I thought I would start fresh.)

    Can I refer to services on ports using a friendly name?

    I'm using Merlin's firmware on my AC68U. Is it possible to somehow set it up so I can refer to services on ports via a friendly name. For example I run a logitech media server, which is currently accessed at 'myhost.internal.lan:9000'. But I would really like to set up some way of accessing it...

    VPN to VM to avoid no-vpn, location restricted websites?

    I have an Asus RT-AC68U and a couple of VPN subscriptions. Some of my regular sites are restricted in my country and also unfortunately do not allow VPN/proxies to be used.

    Android joins the "Switcher" club with DNS changer malware

    Another one... good reason to double check the Admin setup on the router, ensuring one has a reasonably secure password - also a good tip is not to keep the admin page open/logged in - get in, check/change settings, and get out (and probably close the broswer tab/window)...
