Hi, this is about an AC68U with firmware 386.2_beta2.

dnsmasq dies because 8.8.8.8 is not an IPv6 IP address when I enable DNSFilter, Global Filter Mode: Router and reboot the router. I have IPv6 enabled (Passthrough).

It does work OK if I enable DNSFilter after the router gets working.

Here it is how it should be:
Code:
dhcp-option=dnsf8,option6:23,[0]
dhcp-option=dnsf9,option6:23,[0]
dhcp-option=dnsf10,option6:23,[0]
 
 
A dnsmasq.postconf could be written to remove the bad lines if beta3 or 386.2 final are still a long way off and you need to use custom DNS Filter entries for IPv4.
 
Correction:

Here is where it is bad:

Code:
dhcp-option=dnsf8,option6:23,[8.8.8.8]
dhcp-option=dnsf9,option6:23,[8.8.8.8]
dhcp-option=dnsf10,option6:23,[8.8.8.8]

I have edited /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf and now the router works.
