NextDNS on Stock firmware

[gabzprime]

I have the AX86U-Pro running on stock. I have setup NextDNS via UI but I'm not seeing the client names under Analytics. On my previous router(ERX), the list of clients are listed.

Is there any setting I can toggle in the UI to enable seeing client names on the NextDNS Analytics page?

There is SSH access to stock, is it possible to install the nextdns cli? Will clients show-up if using nextdns cli?

Hi mate.
I have ET12 also with NextDNS. It's technically impossible to catch per device stats that are behind NAT (router). They all will be like a single device, the router exactly. If you want to have individual stats or settings you'll have to set each device to use NextDNS explicitly. In this case you'll be able to distinguish all of them.
E.g. my kids tabs use own kids profile (no porn, TikTok and other garbage don't need) but each tab has its own prefix configured to distinguish the stats.

Where do you find 'analytics' in the ASUS router UI? I've not seen such on mine.

Hmm, never said anything about such 'analytics' in Asus web UI. As far as I remember we discussing NextDNS, so that analytics is all there, on NextDNS UI.

No.

You would need to install Merlin and then install the nextdns CLI to see client names in the NextDNS UI. Stock can’t do it.
