    DNS-OVER-TLS AND VPN — 3.0.0.4.386.45956

    Now that asuswrt-official [RT-AC86U] supports DNS-over-TLS …. well, actually, do we care? What I mean to say is: If I already use a VPN (PIA)—currently only on individual clients since I’m using the ASUS stock firmware again—whereby DNS lookups are encrypted, (by the VPN—to the VPN DNS), … (1)...

    IPv6 DNS

    Hello! Router is RT-AX88U with 386.3_2 firmware. Clients are getting ISP IPv6 DNS instead of Google IPv6 DNS (DoT), manually set. System Log > IPv6 shows the expected Google DNS, 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844. Is this the expected behaviour or we are doing something wrong?

    DNS with Instant Guard

    If you are using Instant Guard, while away from your home network, will your DNS requests use the DNS server specified in your routers LAN settings? The reason I ask is because I use PiHole on my home network, but I see a lot of ads when using Instant Guard. I am not seeing my phone in the...

    Custom IPTables Rules for DNS Redirect

    I want to add some rules into iptables so that my Google/Nest smart devices stop calling Google DNS directly, and the Google DNS calls they do are redirected to my AdGuard Home DNS server which will reply with the appropriate DNS records. I know I can probably use DNSFiltering, but want to...
