    SSID for VPN - Does not use VPN's DNS

    Hello, I've spent a couple of hours searching through posts for an answer to this, but can't quite find the answer. I use expressvpn and set up a client on my router (RT-AC68U). I set the 'Accept DNS' setting to 'Exclusive' then setup a policy rule to have one device use the VPN Client. This...

    Dual Stack (IPv6): DNS for IPv6 is not my AC88U

    Hi, I figured out that in my dual-stack environment my Clients get for IPv4 my router's DNS IP but for IPv6 my Client's get the Providers DNS. My expectation would be to also get the router's IPv6 (the local one) for DNS. :/ I Use DHCP-PD and it works so far. Also I set up DoT on WAN settings...

    Dynamic DNS for Secondary WAN?

    Hi. I have setup Dual WAN as failover and I am using Asus DDNS on my router. When my Primary WAN is up, I can easily connect to my router remotely through the DDNS. But when Primary WAN is down and Secondary WAN is up, DDNS does not work. Shouldn't it automatically update the IP? Is there...

    DNS error

    Hi, I configured my Asus router to connect to my Bell HH3000 router in PPPoE. Like DNS I specified 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Often times I have DNS errors, and it can't find the websites. I don't have these errors when I am connected directly to the HH3000. Normally, I am connected in 5GHz. What...

    Network flooded by dns.msftncsi.com requests

    Hi! Every 15 seconds the router sends a request to dns.msftncsi.com and is flooding the network. I found a setting in the router GUI. Ticking "DNS query" makes it visible, it doesn't affect the frequency of the request tho: What is the purpose of these requests and how can I decrease the...

    Add port number to DNS?

    Does anyone know how to include the port number when filling in these 2 DNS fields? And if I do include the port numbers, will it actually make use of the port number I add, rather than still defaulting to port 53?
