    Am I truly hiding from ISP?

    I have a two router setup, an rtac88u setup as the main router/VPN server. I have a lyra mesh setup as a vpn client of the main router. Then the ISP rented modem. All devices in the home go through the vpn server, but there are a couple issues. 1. The Lyra always says "IP/routing conflict"...

    Cloudflare Announces DNS That Won't Track You

    Cloudflare has launched what it bills as the "fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS". The company thought introducing its first consumer product on April Fools Day would guarantee them a lot of coverage, and it has. But the service is legit, up and running and ready to rock. DNS lookups, which...

    Directing only DNS over VPN?

    Just wondering if this is reasonably simple to do? I'm currently running dnsmasq to point specific domains over specific DNS IP's. Everything else goes over another DNS IP address set at the WAN configuration level. Is it possible to have a VPN client up and running and point all DNS traffic...

    Asuswrt-Merlin service dependency loop (NTP + DNS + USB + Entware)

    Over the last few days I have been upgrading from 380.65_4 to 380.69_0 on both my RT-AC68U and RT-AC88U (I always keep both routers on the same firmware version). I believe I have discovered a service dependency loop on the AC88U which only occurs under certain conditions. The main pieces of...

    Strange DNS issue on 380.68.4. Cannot go out and back to router.

    I am hosting 5 websites at my location. All on one box on the LAN. 192.168.2.13. If I am in the building and try to go to a website it never works. If I put the website in my hosts file it is fine. That bypasses the router. If I am outside the building I can hit any website fine. I have...
