    How to push own DNS server when using VPN

    It seems like it might be too hard to forward all requests for, say, Netflix to your American VPN client specifically though. I can get the traffic to go to the right gateway by using an alias for all Netflix IP addresses, but I can't figure out a way to force all DNS requests for "netflix.com"...

    How to push own DNS server when using VPN

    Hi, sorry to bring up an older thread. Did you make any progress on this blog post? I'm starting to give this a try myself and I think my biggest holdup is DNS. Can you confirm that these settings are really all that's required to get it to work? Do these settings allow regular DNS queries to...

    Pppoe issues with tp link modem

    I recently bought a tp link 8616 (modem only version) and can't for the life of me get it to connect to the internet by pppoe either through windows directly, or through my ac66u.

    Why do modems require IP addresses?

    Sweet thought so. Saves the confusion of choosing a modem then. Second question though, is the management interface accessible while inside your lan? The router would have a public IP on the wan side and wouldn't be able to route to a private IP on the wan side wouldn't it? Do you have to...

    Best way to create media server

    Plex only transcodes of the server has a decent enough CPU. Plex + chromecast is an unbeatable combo though

    Why do modems require IP addresses?

    As in the title, why do modems have IP addresses? Is it purely for Web based management? As far as I understand modems, they should only operate at layer 2 of the OSI model shouldn't they? Translating Dsl (or whatever bearer you use) to ethernet. I have an ac66u but I can't use it because I...
