asus merlin - openvpn -firewall iptable entry

TD Johnson

New Around Here
In DD-WRT the following would be added to t he commands field on admin page then click Save Firewall.
iptables -I FORWARD -d 8.8.8.8 -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -d 8.8.4.4 -j DROP
Is there a way to add these entry's for use with OpnVpn account in ASUS Merlin? I really don't want to go back to DD-WRT, I so much prefer Merlin.
Thanks

I don't see the meaning of these rules. At best, it means that some clients using those DNS servers will be unable to resolve anything at all.

What's the intended goal?
 
Be advised that there are several popular Apps in the Google Play store that hard-code Google Public DNS (bad idea, I know) - those iptables entries will absolutely break those apps..
