What firmware are you using? RT-AX3000 v2 is not compatible with Merlin firmware.

What firmware are you using? RT-AX3000 v2 is not compatible with Merlin firmware.

I am running: ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AX58U_V2 3004.388.7_1-gnuton1 Mon Jun 10 09:50:03 UTC 2024

Isn't gnuton a merlin firmware?

 

[visortgw]

Yes, a Merlin vairiant -- another variable here. DNS Director erroring out should not be happening.

 

[novusB]

So if unbound is detecting I don't have DNS Filter enabled, but DNS Filter was renamed to DNS Director and that's what's preventing me from installing, how do I go about fixing that?

 

[visortgw]

Open an issue with Gnuton concerning the 404 error?

 

[novusB]

I did, they're saying it's an issue with the addon.

1. Go to https://routeraddress/DNSDirector.asp.
2. Enable DNS Director.
3. Set Global Redirection to "Router".

Please don't forget to update and close issues with Gnuton and unbound.

@Martineau Since this has a workaround it might be in your interest to mark this on your git projects main page as an installation troubleshoot. I’ve marked the open issue with the solution.

or..... patch the script to refer to 'DNS Director' rather than 'DNS Filter' and display the correct URL as appropriate for firmware v388.xx

Or that. Which ever simpler for you.

Replied to the github commit, will reply here.

YOU ARE AWESOME for coming out with a hotfix so quickly! Thank you!

There’s really no reason for DNS Filter/Director or a local NTP Server to be a soft requirement for installing Unbound. It creates false panic. Definitely not an ***ERROR.

That is true if we are talking about the newer BE models.. I don't think RMerlin is going to launch a mirco-release for the older models at this point. Supporting the older models has its own set of problems currently:

When all is said and done, I can only imagine what all will need to be adjusted for in the scripting world. e.g.

- NEW: Added dnsmasq-INDEX.conf.add and stubby-INDEX.yml.add,
which are appended to SDN config files (INDEX = SDN
index number)
- NEW: Added dnsmasq-sdn.postconf and stubby-sdn.postconf.
They take two arguments:
- path to the config file for that SDN's instance
- the SDN index number (1 for the first SDN instance)
