To OP, also did below for stable AGH: * enabled swap (I'm assuming you did, adding here for completeness.) * enabled chrony/ntp in merlin amtm. * judicious use of mini dns blockers (hagezi.oisd,etc.) as i think you have 512MB of RAM.

Same as you, have 1.5gbps with gt-ax6000. For my Bell ISP, Have used QoS and disabled it as i have noticed that your weakest link is websites, torrents, steam(max. 400mbps for me) games, etc. Besides, QoS will only be triggered when you hit max 1.5 ~ 1.3gbps(depending how you setup.) and even...

To mitigate privacy for EDNS, have set Adguard Home in Merlin to "Use Custom IP for EDNS" where the IP Address is based in Toronto where i live and doesn't give my real ip address subnet for geo location/CDN purposes. My use case is that youtube used to grab videos in the US when using DOH/DOT...

Thank you! Thought i was the only one having issues with Quad9 routing DNS traffic to khazagstan. Have transferred to nextdns + controld (I'm in canada), and my latency now is even less at 30ms versus quad9 in chicago which is around 150ms.

kk... i'll take your word for it. Thanks. Yes... Testing AGH for a couple of days with blocklist rules of 150k+ instead of 400k+. And using upstream DNS pointing to free controld/nextdns with hagezi pro, it's working surprisingly well. I hear you. researching further, i came across a shell...

Linux on Asus and AGH running is fine. "AGH with updates" component is not... Here is some proof screenshots below of potential performance impacts of AGH updates taking up 30%+ of precious memory of 1GB low memory device like the GT-AX6000. Would rather restart AGH and go to a state like the...

To clarify, there is no issue i'm trying to solve. Using swap is perfectly fine. In my original e-mail, i've mentioned "mitigation" rather than fix because my objective was to optimize the router performance, run daemon/processes as much as possible in RAM and minimal usage of swap. AGH when...

Thanks for the welcome @L&LD ! As a former Solaris/Linux Sysadmin, In general, that is correct. Adguard Home (AGH) running is roughly using 300MB RAM with huge 400K+ rules on my blocklists. Noticed that updating huge blocklists like oisd or steven blacks, total ram usage goes to 900MB+ and...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but the messages/information helped me reduce memory usage on my Adguard Home install plus large blocklists. To mitigate large memory usage: * set "Filter Update Interval" to 24 hours (Default: 3Days). Frequent updates, less usage memory. * Quick script...
