    Firewall "Network Services Filter" Is Bypassed When OpenVPN Client is Enabled 384.19

    I have an Amazon Fire tablet that by default appends 8.8.8.8 to any DNS settings. The 8.8.8.8 address is the first DNS server contacted by default, bypassing the router DNS setting provided by DHCP unless 8.8.8.8 is blocked. The only way I have found to block this is to 1. Add a network...

    Is there any way to block certain URLs for certain MAC addresses? (YES - solved)

    I just got a new Asus router and I installed Merlin and Diversion and so far it's looking amazing, big props to the developers. Anyway, stock Asus only has firewall blocking for every device, and parental controls blocks too many sites. How do I block URLs for certain MAC addresses? In practice...

    DNS redirect to local DNS server

    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...

    how to debug an iptable problem?

    I'm an iptables savage - I know just enough to know how thoroughly I could ruin my network configuration, and could use some help. I've tried to wrap my head around iptables several times over the years, and each time stagger away with a headache. I've run into a problem where my AC68U drops...

    Unsure best direction for better logging and securing IoT devices

    I'm into IoT and home automation, but I'm embarrassed to admit I've rather ignored the security aspects of my home network so far. I'd be really grateful for some guidance on the best direction to address this, especially if anyone thinks I might be wasting my time looking into building a NG...

    Syncing computer with Insync stalles my Netgear Orbi RBK50/RBS50 based network.

    Hi, I was going to sync my whole Google Drive to a new laptop using Insync. After the sync starts and runs for a minute or so the whole network slows down and then halts. In the router logs I see this: "[DoS Attack: ARP Attack] from source: 10.0.0.4, Monday, December 09, 2019 16:33:05"...

    TP-Link home routers: any support for IPv6 firewall?

    Do any TP-Link home wifi routers have support for an IPv6 firewall (meaning the ability to block unsolicited inbound IPv6 traffic, except for stuff that is required by IPv6 itself, e.g. ICMPv6, etc)? I know the Archer C7 doesn't (via my own testing). How about the Archer A20? I've asked...

    IPv6 firewall fails to function.

    RT-AC56R 384.6 (latest for this model at time of posting) IPv6 firewall on/off switch seems to generate a complete blockage in the "on" position and had none of the rules entered in the GUI. In the "off" position it drops bad packets, but otherwise allows nearly everything through. Anyone have...

    Hi, I had a quick question.
