    AdGuardHome Run AdGuard Home in AP mode? (Bypass check?)

    Yup, AGH + other processes. Which is why its nice to have two instances running on separate devices so that when the router is temporarily not serving requests (in a timely manner) (eg: AGH updating, blocklist updates or degraded performance due to (lack of) available resources): the clients on...

    AdGuardHome Run AdGuard Home in AP mode? (Bypass check?)

    -edit- Hmmmm... Scratch what I said. I think I overlooked something important in my test. If DNS Director only intervenes when DNS queries are made to a DNS server other than the ones configured in DHCP, then the tests I showed are wholly inconclusive. But if that is the case, then I...

    AdGuardHome Run AdGuard Home in AP mode? (Bypass check?)

    Thanks all! It seems to be up and running. :) Splendid! Just one more thing: Just double-checking here as I just realized I may have misunderstood what you meant. If DNS Director is set to "router" and I have configured the AP that I wish to use as secondary DNS server in DHCP: then it...

    AdGuardHome Run AdGuard Home in AP mode? (Bypass check?)

    Thanks! Yeah, fair enough! What I meant to convey was this particular router is the one in the home network that handles the connection to the ISP (PPPoE). But I should've known better than using technically wrong nomenclature here. :) I suppose I can call this one the edge router instead. But...

    AdGuardHome Run AdGuard Home in AP mode? (Bypass check?)

    Hi, Sorry if its been asked before, but the search term "router mode" understandably results in such a lengthy output that it's not quite possible to sift through it and Google... Well... Nvm. Q: is there a way to run this on a router in AP mode rather than in router mode? I figured I want a...

    Tutorial Change Strongswan ciphersuite and enable MOBIKE to get rid of terrible VPN speeds

    Thanks for chiming in - appreciate that :) This is exactly what I thought at first as well, but the thing is: the 5G connection is actually decent with very acceptable latency. To demonstrate (average values after 3 consecutive tests with 1 minute waiting time in between): Speedtest 5G: -...

    Tutorial Change Strongswan ciphersuite and enable MOBIKE to get rid of terrible VPN speeds

    Yes, I recently found out why that's happening. For some reason packets larger than 1252 bytes appear to be dropped and don't make it through the tunnel, so there's probably tons of packet fragmentation going on that severely impacts the throughput speeds. But so far I've been unable to...

    Tutorial Change Strongswan ciphersuite and enable MOBIKE to get rid of terrible VPN speeds

    The need for an app is exactly the problem. :) With IKEv2 I can simply push a configuration profile to our iPhone's and iPad's that forces an always-on VPN on an OS-level. As soon as we lose connection to the home WiFi: the device will setup the VPN tunnel immediately and blocks all traffic that...

    Tutorial Change Strongswan ciphersuite and enable MOBIKE to get rid of terrible VPN speeds

    Please be advised that in my post above from the 18th of December, I erroneously wrote to modify "/jffs/services-start". This should have been "/jffs/scripts/services-start". (Modified now). If you used the above tutorial before this was changed, please double-check if you have it in the wrong...

    Need a script that auto reboot if internet is down

    Hi, Please accept my apologies, I've tried reading the readme/included manual but I don't think I fully understand it. I hate it when people do their best to describe something as detailed and clearly as possible, but then I come along and just don't get it. :( I have four questions about this...

    Skynet SkyNet IPv6?

    Ahh I must've misunderstood the sources I was reading then. Well, that explains why nothing IPv6 shows up in the stats - thank you :)

    Skynet SkyNet IPv6?

    Hi, Based on what I could find here and elsewhere online, SkyNet supports IPv6. However, I noticed in my statistics that there are 0 IPv6 addresses being hit (in/outbound). This struck me as curious as quite a lot of traffic is IPv6 these days and malicious actors have certainly discovered it...

    Skynet Can't access certain website due to Skynet

    Took me way too long to realize it was SkyNet blocking github.com (or at least some of its IP's) for some reason, heh. Curious how on earth that managed to get on the blacklist. :) Nothing a simple whitelist can't solve, fortunately.

    AX3000v2 + Fritz!Powerline = issues

    Hi, Not sure where to place this, but its an issue I'm experiencing with my AX3000v2 running Merlin (as modem + router) in combination with Fritz!Powerline 1220E. After updating firmware on the Powerline adapters, overnight all LAN connections appear to have lost their connection to the ASUS...

    Router performing crippling "DNSKEY" look-ups out of the blue

    I'll respectfully disagree that 4 nameservers is "a metric f-ton". :) Indeed, 20 seconds to resolve is very long. But that was explained on the account of receiving tens of thousands simultaneous requests - the router was essentially DoS'ing itself. The hardware simply can't cope with that many...
