Hey all, just wanted to say thanks for all your help. A number of you contributed to this thread with a lot of great info which I could not piece together from searches done. I went ahead and went thru the logs and it looks great always hitting one of the DoT servers listed. Thank you all once again!
 
Your router needs to talk to an NTP server to set its clock before encryption can be used. So, no DoT without a working regular DNS to set that clock first.
Then it is logical to write in these fields of the DNS address using port 53, eg provider address?
p.s. these fields are empty for me and everything works well :cool:

If you want to use your provider's addresses just set "Connect to DNS Server automatically" to Yes. Otherwise you can manually enter non-provider addresses like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1.

If NTP has not (or cannot) set the date & time by the time Stubby starts it will start in "no-TLS mode". This may allow the router to resolve NTP addresses so that it can then set the date & time, after which Stubby will restart in "strict mode".

Great thread guys.

I just installed Tcpdump.

When I run where does it capture the log?
 
The output goes to stdout unless you direct it elsewhere.


another question when I run the command in ssh should I not see some output in the window as its running?

ok if i remove the port info I see it capturing.

So is it working when you use the correct interface?

It only works when I take out the port info.
Eth0 or vlan35 both work without it.
And the end result which was confirmation of which port is there.

OK looking into this a bit more it's because PPPoE is its own protocol (as shown in your image) but tcpdump's "port" parameter matches IP packets not PPPoE.

Oh well, you found your answer anyway. :)
 
@Makaveli Just a thought (because I don't have PPPoE), do you have another IP interface called something like ppp0 that you could use?
If I run ip a from ssh I do.

And that did the trick the command works now with port info good catch.

Wait ... again the question is not fully resolved. I am using DoT AdGuard. Do I understand correctly that to speed up the loading process, I can enter (manual) the addresses of the DNS 1/2 port 53 of the local provider (not Google, not quad, etc.), in the fields and then the correct connection to the DoT DNS server AdGuard will occur?

Whether there is any "speed up" will probably depend on which DNS servers you are using and how many other services you are running on your router. Only you can find that out by timing different configurations. But I doubt there would be more than 10 seconds difference from best to worst. Not something worth worrying about IMHO.
