Asuswrt Merlin: I have a bidirectional OpenVPN connection running on 2 Asuswrt Merlin routers (firmware is current). But, I cannot perform a "nslookup pc.client.lan" on the OpenVPN Server? What I would like to do is resolve client lan names on the server. Does anyone know of a solution? [I spent...

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...

Hello my friends. Unfortunately, my english is not very good and I am trying to work with the google translator here. For me it is very difficult to find the right settings with the translation. I installed Asus Merlin and run a VPN client there. I am completely satisfied and now I would like...

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...

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,

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...

Is the best way to force users to use the dns server I have set (OpenDns) is by adding this via ssh iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr) (is that...

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...

I am using asuswrt-merlin for a while now and after reading e.g. here https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/display/DP/DNS+Privacy+Clients?utm_referrer=https://censorship.repair/page4.html#DNSPrivacyClients-Routers about DoT I decided to enable it on my device but I was surprised to see that it's not...

Hi, In the past I've been using the solution found in this post https://www.snbforums.com/threads/cant-get-openvpn-using-expressvpn-to-run-on-rt-ac86u.48599/ in order to get ExpressVPN working in an OpenVPN Client on my RT-AC86U Merlin (Currently 384.8_2). However, recently every time I use...

Trying to understand while connected trough a VPN client in Server Address and Port. When Server Address is 84.xx.xxx.xxx and set Port manually to port 443, my log shows: dnsmasq[5041]: using nameserver 10.xx.xxx.x#53 dnsmasq[5041]: using nameserver 10.xx.xxx.x#53 Question: why is the...

I have an ASUS RT-AC68U running the most recent version of rMerlin firmware (384.7_2), on Comcast cable. Last week for half a day I couldn't access Amazon. I tried different browsers, different computers, rebooting the router and cable modem. I could access Amazon fine on my phone over the...

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...

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...

Under Android 9, using the 'Private DNS provider hostname' option*, under Private DNS, allows the bypassing of the Asuswrt-Merlin DNSFilter (/DNSFilter.asp). *:under Android 9: Settings > Network & internet > Advanced > Private DNS > Private DNS provider hostname.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
