dns

Hi guys, long-time lurker, first-time poster. For the last two months, I've been getting intermittent issues with websites not loading and getting stuck on DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. A manual reload of the website or waiting for chrome to auto-refresh causes the page to load. This issue is...

I was monitoring Dnsmasq log through Diversion's option and saw that my router's NTP is making a lot DNS querys. I'm using NTPMerlin with Chrony as NTP server and every 15s approximately it makes a new query. Here is an example of the many requests made. Enter term to filter by [q=Quit]...

Last Saturday I upgraded from 386.1_0 to 386.2_0, by Monday night I was having issues with devices saying no internet or no response from DNS. I did have internet, a router reboot restored internet. Tuesday morning, no internet/dns again, I updated to 386.2_2, issue returned that evening. I...

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...

I understand I can use merlin firmware for DoH/DoT, but just out of curiosity. It'll be a really nice security feature, which they can brag about. Its not like that they'll have to implement it from scratch, clients already exist. All they need to do is make sure it works with their firmware.

I've been running Pihole with cloudflare doh proxy for sometime now. While it works ok, I've been considering ditching it for Asus-merlin built in dot with nextdns. But does DoH/DoT makes any difference. My ISP can still see the IPs i am communicating with and can do reverse dns lookup to see...

Hi all, I'm new here and, as you will discern from this post, new to networking as a whole. I would be grateful for any general advice or input around my setup. I have some specific questions that are down to knowledge gaps and understanding. The main aim of this setup is to increase security...

so I noticed DNS randomly breaking and when I run the unbound manager I get a message that unbound isn't running trying to run it gives a long error that ends in unbound[19273:0] fatal error: could not open autotrust file for writing, /root.key.19273-0-26a17400: Permission denied the full...

Hi. I am struggling with very slow web navigation and Merlin's router DNS settings. I am testing 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 Basically: If I only set the WAN DNS Setting on the internet connection TAB, to those value, I get very slow response time and navigation. If I also set the LAN DHCP Server -...

(moved here from "Asus Routers & Adapters" forum) I have an ASUS RT-AC86U router, running Merlin 386.1_2. I have enabled the VPN on my router, and I have successfully connected over the WAN from several OpenVPN clients (Android phone, Windows laptop). My clients are able to connect to my LAN...

Hi, Long time reader of these forums and grateful for all the advice. Running RT-AC86U smoothly. Configured DNS-over-TLS with all DNS traffic from LAN intercepted and answered by Router. This works flawlessly. (Got answer back for a "dig nas.lan @1.1.1.1 that only exists on my lan and couldn't...

Long time lurker and first time poster. First of all let me thank @coxhaus, through his posts I learned a lot about Cisco gears and VLAN stuff. I am trying to build a home network with inter-VLAN capabilities using my trusty AC68U, a newly acquired Cisco SG300-10MPP level-3 switch and a Cisco...

I've updated my RT-AC86U to the latest firmware 386 with a full reset and installed Diversion. Actually, only now I'm experimenting Diversion. So, I tryed to "follow dnsmasq.log" with the "Unfiltered log" option and saw a huge amount of constant DNS querys for A and AAAA values for a specifc...

As I understand it, RMerlin likes DoT, and dislikes DoH. Thoughts on DNS-over-QUIC?

Hey Guys, I set up my home network using an AC66U B1 router (running 384.17 firmware) and a raspberry pi. Here is my arrangements: - The AC66U B1 router (192.168.50.1) connets to the ISP modem and serves as DHCP server of my network. - The pi (192.168.50.2) is configured as default gateway...

I set up a Pi-hole in my home network and I just want to know where to put my Pi-hole's IP - should it be in my LAN DNS or in the WAN DNS of my router? If on the LAN, what should be then on my WAN DNS? And vice-versa, if it should be on my WAN DNS, what should be on my LAN DNS?

I am having issues with Google DNS currently. The router claims to be disconnected from the Internet. connmon, using 8.8.8.8, shows 0 for the last hour. My settings are: WAN DNS Settings: DNS Server 1: 8.8.8.8 DNS Server 2: 1.1.1.1 DNS Privacy Protocol: DNS-over-TLS (DoT) DNS-over-TLS...

Hi all, I've had my AX88U setup running well for several months (Diversion, SkyNet, YazFi, etc.). The issue below seemed to start occurring when I recently upgraded to 384.19. I've tried various logs/troubleshooting and can't figure out the root cause. Basically the router appears to...

Hi! Some of my devices use an hard-coded DNS server, i.e. 8.8.8.8. I like to re-direct this DNS traffic to my local unbound DNS server by using the firewall script of my AC86 router. I use the following IPTABLES commands. The rule is added correctly to iptables. Are these rules correct and how...

My 86U was delivered 10 days ago. In that time I've spent a lot of time on these terrific forums and gotten a lot of great info. Now my head is spinning as I confront the various DNS settings spread across several pages in the GUI. Situation: one-person household. LAN devices are a Mac desktop...
