    Local Namespace Management with multiple subnets, Vlans, and SSID using Guest Pro

    The challenge is to construct a coherent namespace built using underlying pieces of local DNS services (multiple dsnmasq instances) for devices spanning the entire home network of potentially multiple routers, not needing external Internet DNS servers (including unbound). It is basically a...

    Unbound Unbound on subnet router

    The fog cleared. Moving to a new thread. Unbound was a distraction, it is never in the local domain resolution loop, just an upstream DNS server piped external DNS requests. The challenge is DNSMASQ main DNS server to DNSMASQ subnet server(s) which is not the same thing as a DNS subdomain...

    Unbound Unbound on subnet router

    I hope this thread is current even if the initial question was answered because it raises the second one. If not, I will create a new duplicate topic. With dnsmasq --> unbound --> internet on the main router, and dnsmasq on the secondary router --> dnsmasq on the main router, how does this...

    Want to share a global DNS between main network and Guest Pro Vlans

    Yes. I decided finally to set the Vlan DNS servers directly as described. What happened after that was that the local Vlan device name was not recognized but the router was, the Internet was, but other devices on the main network were not. SSH could not reach the router (Iptables?). I believe...

    Problem with SNBForums Moderator

    Yeah, let's move on. But one quick question, that paid for tech consulting service keeps coming up and I fell for it. Does it really contact anyone at SNBForums for $5?

    Want to share a global DNS between main network and Guest Pro Vlans

    Uh ho. I just saw that AVAHI thing, yet another way Apple knows better what you want when you do not even know that you want it. Ugh. I will have to look into getting rid of it. It may be why one of my critical IOT devices messes up and has to be isolated on the test IOT Vlan. It could also be...

    Want to share a global DNS between main network and Guest Pro Vlans

    I have two prototype Guest Pro vlans, one for cafe style login and one for IOT use case, set up on my AX88U Pro with Merlin 3006.102.5 (autoupdate) and likewise the bulk of AMTM scripts and services including unbound, YaxDHCP, Diversion, and Skynet , and others for curiosity. Very nice, will...

    Need Help Setting Up 3 VLANs (Home, Guest, IoT) on ASUSWRT-Merlin (RT-AC86U)

    Correct. The AX88U Pro shares the same processor as the initial WIFI 7 BE series thus giving it some future proofing despite being a WIFI generation behind the latest and greatest. That is why I bought it, being a bit cheap to go all out on the BE series at this time.

    Is changing Iptables in Asuswrt-Merlin considered acceptable network management practice?

    It was not locked. I think ego is driving the objections. My point regarded the general approach as was the question and response sequence. Yeah I have questions and will post them post them separately as such. Believe it or not, I like this forum but do not like being sniped at for the whole...

    Is changing Iptables in Asuswrt-Merlin considered acceptable network management practice?

    Now that I got that off of my chest, here's my summary as one who went from systems programmer, general salt mine programmer, system architect, application architect, business analyst, and program manager. The user asked a simple question how to control the behavior of an important system...

    Is changing Iptables in Asuswrt-Merlin considered acceptable network management practice?

    Sorry, in my most respectful Canadian way, I ask does the following sound wrong or worthy of reprimand: "The rules are built by shell scripts computing and issuing iptables commands, so there is no passive and declarative file, just the /jffs/scripts/firewall-start script doing its thing to...

    Is changing Iptables in Asuswrt-Merlin considered acceptable network management practice?

    Because I was told by Colin Taylor and RMerlin himself that it was wrong, all firewalls rules are involate as "built-in to the firmware". The above as summarized was wrong and that was somehow disrespectful of people I never met nor meant to insult. I don't understand this groups dynamics but I...

    Is changing Iptables in Asuswrt-Merlin considered acceptable network management practice?

    I am soliciting input whether or not this Google AI generated advice is considered correct and acceptable Asuswrt-Merlin network management practice or not, and thank you for your responses: Create or Edit the Startup Script: Connect to your router via SSH or SCP (e.g., using PuTTY or...

    Problem with SNBForums Moderator

    Tell you what, why don't you delete this entire thread. If there is no offline way to reach the moderators who send mail to a personal address then that's the way you like it. Its your court, play as you wish. I am done with this unprofessional behavior.

    I acknowledge using the wrong letter in the acronym. My mistake, SNBForums it is.
