I have noticed this as well with Wireguard. but I don't think my issue happens after the router reboots. It's just random in my case.. I thought it was every time the app gets an update. That's the only thing I can remember happening before it stops connecting. This is why I use Openvpn as well...

Yep, that's how mine is.

No, I have 1.1.1.1 in WAN

This seems to have worked! - Thank you!! I use Pihole in recursive mode with Unbound. Why was google dns the only one that was able to get through?

I use Pihole to block adult sites. So when I change the Android's dns to 8.8.8.8 I can visit sex.com...with any other dns server in there that site is blocked.

I don't see any connections using port 853. I did notice something peculiar. It seems the Android is only able to bypass the router when using 8.8.8.8. If I use any other dns server, it doesn't bypass the router. I tried 1.1.1.1, 208.67.222.222 and it will not bypass. As soon as I use 8.8.8.8 it...

This is the way I've had it now for a very long time. No other devices on the network are able to bypass the router when using their own dns server, only the Android phones using Private DNS.

That's how I've had it and it's always been fine. I used to have iPhones, and using iPhones I could never bypass the router when setting a different dns server on the phone. But now that I recently got Android I noticed I can.

I have been using DNS Diretor for a few years now and it has been working great. I use Pihole as recursive server with adlists to block doh. Recently I got an Android phone and noticed when using Android Private DNS it can bypass the router when setting the phone to use any other dns like...

I have an AX88U Pro on the latest version 3006.102.6 and I also have an AC86U and would like to use it as a node to extend my wifi signal. I am not able to make the node connect at all. I have tried using an Ethernet cable, also via wireless and placing the routers next to each other. It just...

When you say the "router's local IP" you mean 192.168.1.1 in my case? - and, does that mean having a Pihole IP under the LAN DHCP DNS section and then setting the redirection to Router, it means the Pihole would be bypased since the firewall will use the router's IP? This is just bouncing...

@bennor I had edited my previous response. You reminded me I needed to add the Pihole to No Direction. It's working now, thanks so much!

That was it.. I knew I must have been missing something. I did not have Pihole "excluded" or set to No Direction in there. Thank you Bennor!

What I am confused is because, if I set this on the LAN DCHP Doesn't that mean this becomes the DNS server for everyone connected to the router? If so, then selecting Router in DNS Director forces everyone to use that DNS server set in the LAN DCHP, no? The Custom would be for devices I want...

- CHANGED: Setting DNS Director to "Router" will now always redirect to the router's own IP. Previously it would redirect to the first DNS server configured on the DHCP page (which defaults to the router itself). If you need DNS...
