    OpenVPN DNS leaking

    This is what I do to have full proof no leaking. STRICT I use dns filtering No redirect Internet !!!! Turn off NAT Google dns If the tunnel fails...no NAT..no Internet. Dead tunnel. Dead internet. Dns filtering with strict works 100 percent of the time. Why change when it works. And my isp...

    VPN Dns Leak to Local ISP

    I have the SAME exact problem. It leaked so bad my ISP told me I had a bot attack coming from my routers. I have posted the issue again and some have recommended a reset of the router and clearing the VRAM. Apparently just making changes to check boxes will not provide the same level of...

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    I did that. Total failure. DNS leaks like crazy. I spent hours making numerous changes. The problem is the redirect Internet traffic leaks. I get 5 to 10 DNS versus the 1 I normally get. And then I got a bot warning from my Isp. Once I remove the redirect Internet traffic.. It...

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    In a future Merlin firmware, can we have the internet kill switch independent of the policy rules. I get DNS leaks when I use the redirect internet traffic regardless if I use Strict or Exclusive....and the reason I know that is by testing and also by my ISP telling me they see something...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.61 Beta is now available

    Can we have a box that can be check regardless of policy rules that if the VPN goes down, the router can be killed (like a kill switch). I would like to see this box regardless if the redirect internet box is checked. Right now to make sure of a kill switch, I set NAT to off. In case my...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.60 Beta is now available

    I did that and it did not make a difference. The only time I get a DNS leak is when I check the "redirect internet traffic" and then setup policy rules to have the VPN go to a particular IP address. When the redirect internet traffic is removed, I do not get a leak. (I used all ...strict...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.60 Beta is now available

    Yes, I am seeing the same problem with Policy rules (see my post). When using the rules regardless of configuration, I leak DNS servers. When I remove the policy rules, no leaks at all. The only reason I am using policy rules is because if you click redirect internet traffic you get another...

    Policy Rules and VPN, DNS leaks

    yes, thanks. I did the no filtering and it did not work. So, the issue is that when I do not use "Redirect Internet Traffic", and under that set it to policy rules, I dont have any issues. It works Great. But when I do change it to Policy rules, then I get the DNS trouble. Now, the only...

    Policy Rules and VPN, DNS leaks

    I have the Asus RT-AC68U with Merlin 380.59. When a OpenVPN is configured, without policy rules, the VPN will report the DNS address the same as the IP connected address. This same event occurs when you use the windows torguard lite client Application. So far so good. When you initiate the...
