    Adguard over Wireguard vpn to block streaming advertisements?

    Multiple - I want 2 dns servers on my network at all times, in case one goes down / I'm doing maintenance. Simple really, assign both via DHCP Tailscale - I don't have NordVPN on all systems. Nord gives you 10 simultaneous clients. Tailscale gives me more (100), plus, a lot of networks I've...

    Daisy-chaining routers?

    That's what I've done before, set another DDNS name for the 2nd router, see that it's registering properly. When you do the final router swap, you can clone the external MAC of the router you're replacing and you _should_ keep the same external IP. In case that's important to you, I've not...

    I mean, it's not really that hard. There are plenty of readme's. :)

    Need new router with encode decode vpn

    A consumer router is the issue. I use Nord on a gig connection, if I use the NordLynx (i.e. wireguard) protocol, I get around 750Mbps on a desktop using the Nord client. Running the VPN on the router (UCG Ultra) I get 250+ Mbps, using wireguard (manual config). The reality is that the...

    Detecting dead NordVPN tunnel quickly?

    Definitely! Though, I'm wondering if perhaps the OP is trying to use a corporate laptop (i.e. no way to install Nord) and trying to appear to be located elsewhere ...

    Adguard over Wireguard vpn to block streaming advertisements?

    Complex question. I'll answer some of the Adguard Home questions. For background, I use Adguard home (multiple servers) and tailscale with exit node routed through NordVPN, not exactly your setup. First there is no such thing as a generic answer for streaming services, you need to look at...

    Those hanging on to their non-supported gear

    AX58 v1 and AX68 are _about_ to no longer be supported. I'm just proactive 😜

    Those hanging on to their non-supported gear

    Same, I've got routers I converted to APs behind my Ubiquiti router (2 AX models running Merlin and configured as APs with VLANS for guest networks)

    Web UI impossible to reach after VPN settings are changed

    OP you didn't provide a lot of info: What IP / hostname are you trying to reach the router on? Are you local to it? When you say 'VPN' do you mean the VPN server, or the client setup? From what client / browser combo?

    NextDNS vs AdGuard Home

    4. way overkill - I run a VM with 512MB of RAM for one of my Adguardhome setups. It needs very little in terms of resources. My other install runs on a 4B with 4 GB RAM, it's currently use just over 2 GB with OS and other stuff besides Adguardhome running on it. 5. RPI's don't run over POE...

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    @user1234567890 you could break out what IoT devices actually _need_ to live on the same network as your 'standard' devices. If they don't off they go onto a VLAN. I run a VLAN just for corporate devices (laptops and phones that connect to wifi) as I don't want them on my main network. As...

    Using Asus routers as VLAN-capable APs

    Thanks @agbommarito ! I've not yet moved to 388.9_2 but will over the next couple of days. Really appreciated the updated script! Edit: Two updates 1. Just upgraded one of my routers (AX58) to 388.9_2 and updated the script and all good, VLANs work as intended 2. While there for anyone who's...

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    Was that for me? If so, not needed, you misunderstood. My internet connection is < 450 Mbps. So speed reduction is not an issue or concern :)

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    Thanks, that's still way faster than my internet connection (sadly). But I appreciate the heads-up :) I enabled QoS right now as we WFH but only for Teams and Zoom. If it's a nuisance I'll just turn QoS off again.

    Want to move away from Asus routers, Ubiquiti? advice needed

    The Ubiquiti stuff should come with a warning label. I just got Vlans working on my Asus AP. So I now have network segregation for guest networks, all I really need. But then, 4 days later, the 6+ AP is $20 off. A sale! And now I'm thinking ... "maybe I'd be better off running all...
