    DNS advertising and stock firmware

    I'm running stock firmware (not much choice with gt-ax11000) and I would like to be able to turn off the router broadcasting it's IP address as a DNS server (i.e merlin option "Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS" checkbox). I'm running a pi-hole for DNS and I don't want any...

    How is IPv6 DNS server determined by a client?

    I have a problem with IPv6 DNS: I am using Comcast via an ASUS RT-AC86U router with IPv6 enabled. On my LAN I have a Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and want all DNS requests to go to it either by its IPv4 or IPv6 address. The router WAN IPv4 DNS settings are manually configured for server 1 and 2...

    OpenVPN Server DNS Order or Removal?

    I currently have OpenVPN setup on my router to LAN access only. But I need it to assign all the clients the internal DNS server. So I added: push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.69.3" push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.69.5" At the custom configuration. Windows clients are getting the DNS, BUT! For...

    Netflix blocked when not using VPN's DNS

    Hello all, Today I found something interesting, but first a bit of a backstory/explanation; I set up several openvpn clients (with NordVPN) on my AC86U router running Merlin firmware and Diversion ad blocking so I could watch Netflix on my smart tv. I don't use the DNS pushed by the VPN (I...

    R7800 dns setting for the lan dhcp server

    Hello, I had an aging Asus N66U router on which the 5Ghz band was failing so after much research I bought the netgear X4S when it was on sale. I have a raspberry pi with Pi-Hole installed on it and I used the raspberry's IP address as my DNS on the lan DHCP server page on my asus N66U router to...

    Asus RT-AC86U running merlin. Guest network setup with local DNS (PiHole)

    Is there a way to set up the guest network to use PiHole as its DNS when it is set to block Access to Intranet? I tried the following: LAN > DHCP Server > DNS Server 1 - Set PiHole IP Result: Works for wireless AP and ports directly connected to Internet, but doesn't work on the Guest Wifi. I'm...

    Block All DNS Except

    Is there a way to block all DNS on port 53 except for a specified device? I looked at SkyNET and the Asus WebUI and didn't see anything that really fit the bill. I could really just block 53 across the entire LAN since my DNS server uses 443 for DNS requests. Thanks,

    Can the DNS in router be instructed to forward specific domain to another server?

    I was wondering, is it possible to instruct the DNS server in the router to forward a specific domain's queries to a specific server? I have one of the routers I look after (an RT-AC5300) set up to use OpenDNS as its upstream, with AiProtect enabled also. Today, after quite some time (more...

    DNS servers

    Is there any advantages or disadvantages to using a public DNS server such as OpenDNS, Cloudfare or Google compared to using the ISP's DNS server? So far I've learned that it could speed up web pages from loading. Will it also load up video streaming services such as YouTube and Netflix...

    What is the best way to configure DNS?

    So I plan to use Cloudflare DNS : 1.1.1.1 as the DNS for my router in router mode. However I can see 3 places I can do that. I use PPPoE and there is a way to set DNS in the WAN section by selecting 'no' in automatically getting DNS. The other option is in the DHCP server section under Lan. And...

    DNS configurations

    I may have asked this question a couple of years ago, but I'm getting old and perhaps my memory is failing me. I have an ASUS RT-AC88u. I have configured it in two places to use the OpenDNS servers. I use a VPN for almost everything online, but not everyone here uses the VPN, particularly for...
