I am confused too...
Start from scratch by:
1. Remove Device in DNS Director Client list. Make sure it can again connect to the web.
- done and works
2. In Diversion enter 1233 and confirm to do so, I uploaded a small change that also removes the resolver file when removing.
- could not find 1223 (options are alphabet) but did force an update
3. Remove the feature in b, 5
- done
4. Remove blocking list fast switch feature in b, 1, 3
- done
Then Start new:
1. Enable blocking list fast switch feature in b, 1, 3
- done
2. Enable the alternate blocking list in b, 5, enter the reserved IP address
- done
3. In DNS Director add reserved IP to User defined DNS 1
- done
4. Add device to the Client list and set User defined DNS 1, click Apply
-
device was already in manually assigned client list, but had had missed modifying the DNS
5. Test if device has internet access and follow the log file for the alternate blocking list.
- all good
6. If all goes well, add google DNS to b, 5, 4
- jumped to 8
7. Test if device still has access, if so
8. Change google to cloudfare 1.1.1.1 server and if it works now, add the IPv6 IP 2606:4700:4700::1111 as well.
HUGE MISTAKE!!!
Got too keen, missed out 6 - jumped to 8, for about a minute all seemed good, then when browsing to a new site on .118 lost all connectivity to the router from all devices - the last message in the SSH window
The Router ignored all attempts at soft and hard reboots - eventually had to do a factory reset and then reloaded a backup from Sunday - thank you
@Viktor Jaep for Backupmon - before I started adding the alternate list settings - and 3hr 40mins later - everything is finally back up. I will leave trying again until the weekend and when everyone else is out or at least not connected.
