Hi, reading thru the FAQ, there seems to be conflicting info? In question 4) Diversion is installed and I still see ads, it says at the end that "Ad-blocking WILL NOT work when your device uses an upstream DNS Server, like Google's 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4" But in question 0) How to use an...

Not at home to try, but wouldn't blocking 192.168.1.x also block the guest router access to the outside world since they need to pass thru the main router (192.168.1.1) to go out?

Been trying searching around but haven't found any concrete answers, but it looks simple to do with IPtables? Basically I want to restrict the bandwidth of my guest network, so instead of fooling around with QoS and watnot, I got an old Asus RTN16 (100mbs LAN ports) as my guest router to cap...

I have DNS FIltering on my kids computers devices to OpenDNS Family and that works great, but i wanted to add AdBlocking to those devices as well. What i did was setup Ubuntu on a VM running PiHole with OpenDNS Family as the upstream DNS, that way their devices get both adblocking and safety...

Thanks got it installed now. It does show a warning that DNS Filtering does not work during install, but everything seems fine. The two clients assigned in DNS Filtering still route thru OpenDNS sans adblocking as expected.

Oh, didn't know about ab-solution, thanks for pointing that out. Im going to look into it. Thanks!

Running Merlin's build 380.62_1 PiHole is a ad-filtering DNS server running on a raspi3. I put the PiHole ip on the LAN section ( 192.168.1.250 ) And it seems to work fine, it routes all the DNS queries to that IP. The problem is that this breaks the previous DNS Filters for OpenDNS...

Yeah my bad wasnt clear. I think the way to do it would be dropping all packets coming from 192.168.1.200 to the local lan.

I have a spare router acting as guest hot spot, with its own dhcp server. Its connected to the main router via its WAN port, so it gets its IP from the main Asus router. Reason for this vs enabling guest network is because I can set QoS priority on all guests just using the second routers IP...

I need to replace my RT66U due to low openvpn client performance ~10mbps, which judging from what i read is as much as i will from the 600mhz cpu. Combing thru some old threads, i see mentions that the AC56U has been one of the best choices due to its 1GH dual core cpu. Is there a better...

It is the N66U. I ended up using a spare Linksys E2000 with DD WRT as guest WAP, it was easy enough enough to setup + it puts them on a separate subnet from my main LAN. The option you mention looks good tho, so manual DNS entries take precedence over the global setting huh? That could work...

No worries, my backup plan was just using an old E2000 with DD-WRT that is collecting dust as the guest network provider + pushing opendns to its clients.

Tried that with 2 different phones, got a new ip, but it was still from the main subnet. I will try flashing the version you are using, clear nvram and start fresh see if i can that to work.

Tried this, changed to wl0.1 just to try to separate guest network, when i connect to the guest im still getting IP from the 192.168.1.x range.

I am trying to push OpenDNS filtering on to the guest network for when my kids friends come over, i found a post from a couple years ago that detailed how it was done, however i can't get it to work with the latest release of merlin...
