AdGuardHome [RELEASE] Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer (AMAGHI)

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

Actually, I was able to get this.

what router model are you using and do you have entware installed? The only suggestion I can recommend is try running the uninstall command(because it cleans up any old stuff), and then rerun the install command. Maybe something got botched during the install process. I have ran the installer numerous times and have had no issues. So I am vexed. It may be the binaries don't work on your router. I would have to see the system log entries right after install.

RT-AX86U and yes entware is installed. It happened yesterday too so i thought I would factory reset the device but that didn't help.

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

I am not sure if it is just me. However, when I enter something, does not matter what value (I've tried LAN, Home, etc) in my router config for the "LAN" Domain name, when I apply the settings, it seems that all my clients are no longer able to browser the internet.

The moment I clear the domain name, all my clients are working again...

I have an RT-5300 router and have DIversion installed.

Not sure if others have had the same issue.

try simple lan. Also there could be a big conflict trying to run this with diversion. It is not advised.

it may be incompatible with your router, or I may have to make an exception for yours to use one of the lesser version. I would have to see your system log entries after install first. What Merlin firmware version are you running as well?

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

Tried that as well.

It seems that no matter what value I put, the moment I apply the settings, no clients are able to browse the internet.

There could be a conflict with you running this along side diversion. Also, if you do put lan inside the domain spot, make sure it is also present in the AdGuardHome upstream dns section.

[/lan/]your routers ip:553

I can't imagine it would be incompatible. The RT-AX86U is one of the flagship models and top 4 in merlin downloads. Plus 1.0 "ran" initially before it just had the issue where is stopped all internet for devices because of the default config, so I waited until that was ironed out.

 

[zekesdad]

Where is the WebUI log the error is talking about ?

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

Thought so to. I had even removed DIversion completely, rebooted, added "LAN" as a domain name, rebooted and waited about 30 mins for all clients to re-connect to WIFI. Still no go.

I am not sure why it would do this.....

look at my previously edited reply.

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

Where is the WebUI log the error is talking about ?

yes so on your routers syslog section. Copy any sections where AdGuardHome is running.

Not saying it is not a flagship, but some of the newer models have a period where older stuff doesn't run properly on them. usually because asus doesn't always workout all the kinks before releasing them. Either that, or you may need to try a factory reset and manually reset up and reinstall. There has been known instances where this was needed to be done with dnscrypt-proxy as well. All of it is Go code which can be very buggy.

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

Thanks, however, at this point, I have not even installed Adguard. I wanted to make sure everything worked before installing AdGuard.

well that is your problem. all of the things done with adguardhome are pointing back to dnsmasq. If your dnsmasq configuration is borked, then that would be a problem. it is AdGuardHome btw. You may have to refresh the internet connection on all your devices once you start using lan as your domain.

I don't see any entries related to AdGuardHome inside your syslog, everything seems to be relevant to DNSmasq only and your firewall going nuts with outbound traffic. So the latter assumption is correct. The version of AdGuardHome being used with your router model must not be properly working for it. I will make an exception for it to try one of the lesser architectures on the installer.

I appreciate your help. I don't know what that last part means, again, it installed fine last sunday when it was originally released.

what output do you get when you type this is the terminal

nvram get productid

I just re-installed ADGuard. It seems to be working. I just wanted to confirm that my reverse DNS is setup correctly (my domain I used is LAN):

Move your Domain to the upstream section, But otherwise the configuration looks okay. do you use ipv6?, if not remove that line.

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

This is what was added automatically to my upstream:

Do I also leave my domain in the Private reverse DNS servers?

Thanks for the quick reply

You only need your domain in the upstream part.

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

Got it.

Thanks for your help.

Is there a WIKI or step-by-step install? It would eliminate alot of the questions here

BTW, so far I find that Adguard uses less CPU than when I had Diversion installed....

It does, and it doesn't require a giant domain list. If you use

https://abp.oisd.nl/

as your filter list, you will be getting just as effective blocking as Diversion Large without the CPU throttle.

 

[zekesdad]

So, is there anything else I can do to fix this?
