    Firmware/Router Causes Excessive and Unwanted DNS Queries to www.wordpress.com

    Cause ya know, ICMP is not a connection....right? Since RMerlin is dev, then riddled me this, I disabled the "network monitoring" neither DNS or ping is checked. Router is still trying to contact wordpress.com. Colin, Thanks for the link and actually taking the time to provide usefull information.

    Firmware/Router Causes Excessive and Unwanted DNS Queries to www.wordpress.com

    Thank you. That was it. I never honestly don't remember enabling that. I unchecked ping and DNS Query. DNS query seems to happen every 5 seconds when ping is enabled (dns query is not to wordpress, but to a differnet domain) DNS query seems to happen every 1min when ping is DISABLED. This...

    Firmware/Router Causes Excessive and Unwanted DNS Queries to www.wordpress.com

    Firmware/Router Causes Excessive and Unwanted DNS Queries to www.wordpress.com

    Firmware/Router Causes Excessive and Unwanted DNS Queries to www.wordpress.com

    Posted before I refreshed, answered in my next post. Did you read my post? "most likely comes from a client on your network." I articulated there are no clients connected.

    Firmware/Router Causes Excessive and Unwanted DNS Queries to www.wordpress.com

    The device is NAT'ed on a Carrier Grade NAT. A bind attempt to an NAT'ed IP is very very unlikely. This is a stock install of Merlin, there are no hacks on the router, no modifications only configuration from the UI. I can understand if a client was involved. WIFI Disabled, Zero LAN Connections...

    Firmware/Router Causes Excessive and Unwanted DNS Queries to www.wordpress.com

    Checked logs at nextdns, every 5 seconds, 2 attempts. 12 minute. WTF is going on??? Update to 388.4, issue still persists. Is it trying to contact for some gravitar icon or something? the Merlin graphic? How has no one every seen this before? Talk about chatty!

    RT-X3000 running 388.2_2 I have Nextdns.io configured and have been seeing excessive connections to wordpress.com, specifically www.wordpress.com. In the System logs I do find: But there are no active connections to www.wordpress.com (192.0.78.13) To better isolate, I disabled all wifi, had...
