    Solved Custom DDNS Scripts

    Sorry for the VERY late reply, but did not want to leave this dangling. In the end, I did as suggested and switched my name servers to Cloudflare. I then used the Custom DDNS scripts to get the router to update Cloudflare. Works well!

    Solved Custom DDNS Scripts

    With the imminent demise of Google Domains, and their sell-off to Squarespace, I have been looking for another domain registrar. One that gets mentioned a lot is Porkbun. I did find a custom Porkbun script in the Wiki, but was wondering if anyone is actually successfully using it. I see...

    Will await the completion of the backport in a future release! Thanks for pointing this out.

    Any reason to use DNSSEC with Quad9?

    I played with the DoT/DNSSEC settings for a while and things seemed to work fine. Decided I wanted ad blocking too, and didn't want to further burden my RT-AX86U by installing a solution with AMTM. Had an old RPi3b lying around, flashed it with DietPi, installed PiHole with Unbound, and...

    Wireguard VPN Server Halves Download Speeds

    Apologies if this is old news to everyone, but on my RT-AX86U running 388.1 Merlin f/w, it turns out that activating the Wireguard VPN server effectively halves/caps download speeds. By coincidence I had also moved to a bigger tier (1.5G) at my ISP and assumed the problem was with them <insert...

    RT-AC56U With ASUSWRT-Merlin 378.56_2 Freezes Randomly

    OK - did the full reset to default, multiple ways (both by holding the reset button and execting the nvram clear command). Reconfigured the router and again, after a period of time it freezes up (all LAN lights flashing like mad in unison). Power cycle brings it back. Hmmm... I wonder, what...

    RT-AC56U With ASUSWRT-Merlin 378.56_2 Freezes Randomly

    I don't know... the drive has been attached since Day 1. I use the router as a cheapish NAS and all the family's multimedia is located on it. There would be howls of protest if I disconnected it for more than a couple of hours. One consideration is that I have always just loaded the latest...

    RT-AC56U With ASUSWRT-Merlin 378.56_2 Freezes Randomly

    Actually, it started freezing up a couple of builds ago, but continues to do so with this build. The router will work fine for a couple of days (approximately), then all of a sudden no devices in the house can access the Internet. The router is also inaccessible via the console when this...
