    Slow IPv6 DNS lookups on a R7800 when IPv6 DNS servers are set manually

    Hi, I am not sure whether this post belongs in a Voxel firmware thread or here as a general R7800 question since I use Voxel firmware on my R7800. Anyway If I use manual set ipV6 DNS servers like Cloudflare after a while it takes up to 30 seconds to resolve and get to any web site or service...

    DNSSEC suddenly stopped working on Asus RT-AC66U (running on Merlin v380.70)

    Hi, I have my Asus RT-AC66U running Merlin v380.70. The DNSSEC option (under LAN > DHCP) has been enabled for as long as I can remember but yesterday it suddenly started acting up. I could no longer resolve any DNS host names which were enabled for DNSSEC. Same results on all my DHCP clients...

    Router DNS

    I have looked under a number of search terms but haven't seen an answer though it seems an obvious question so perhaps I am missing something. When DHCP issues a reserved IP address to a device it says in the help on the page that the name is pushed to the device if it is legal, i.e. doesn't...

    OpenVPN DNS issue

    After rebooting my router, and without changing any settings, all the routed Devices going through the VPN keep showing the DNS that is in the LAN>DHCP SERVER>DNS SERVER 1 and not the VPN's DNS, that is even though I've set "Accept DNS Configuration" to "Exclusive". Has anyone else experienced...

    Policy-based routing for VPN - how to handle DNS?

    I'm using an RT-AC86U with Asuswrt-Merlin version 384.6; I'm experimenting with routing a specific device through the router's VPN connection while all others go to the WAN. Initially I added a rule for the device's IP address, destination address 0.0.0.0, with iFace set to VPN. With the VPN...

    Where to Set DNS Servers?

    Looking for some help for a networking novice - TIA! In the firmware, there are two places to set custom DNS servers. One is the WAN page, the other is the LAN page, under the DHCP server tab, which has the DNSSEC options. Can someone explain the difference in effect between the two pages? Or...

    no internet with OpenVPN server

    I'm running 384.5 on an ASUS RT-AC87U, and I've setup an OpenVPN server.

    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...
