    Solved Strange issue: No access to some websites/servers w/o using a VPN [RT-AX3000]

    I set a couple of things different than you. Try: DNS-over-TLS Profile: strict Preset servers: Quad9 (9.9.9.9, 149.112.112.112) There are several Quad9 options and I'm not sure which one I ended up using. If that doesn't solve the issue, then try Quad9 w/o the DNS-over-TLS, since somehow...

    Solved Strange issue: No access to some websites/servers w/o using a VPN [RT-AX3000]

    I double checked and you are right. I set it to Nord's DNS server, but didn't really think when I checked the modem before updating after coffeeaddict replied. It has changed to Quad9 for some reason. That is really weird, but the router is working properly now.

    Solved Strange issue: No access to some websites/servers w/o using a VPN [RT-AX3000]

    Amazing timing. After all this time, I literally fixed this two hours ago. Everything I've tried is working properly It's kind of weird, because the setting has reverted in the GUI, but this fixed it for me: GUI>WAN>Internet Connection>DNS Privacy Protocol: DNS-over-TLS (DoT) I should note...

    Thanks. I'll do that this weekend. I've never drawn one, so I hope this covers what you are asking for. If it doesn't, let me know what I left out or misunderstood and I'll redo it. This is the simplified set up I used for diagnosing: This is the way it normally is:

    I probably should have noted it, but I do not have this issue when I used the router built into the modem. That should eliminate that possibility, right?

    Solved Strange issue: No access to some websites/servers w/o using a VPN [RT-AX3000]

    Thanks! That makes sense. I'm unfamiliar with that level of networking, so I've got some research ahead of me.

    Solved Strange issue: No access to some websites/servers w/o using a VPN [RT-AX3000]

    Thanks for the good advice. That may be what it is supposed to do, but without a shadow of a doubt certain issues website loading issues were directly related to the firewall. I tried turning it off and on several times to access it. Certain websites matched that precisely. Now I have no...

    Solved Strange issue: No access to some websites/servers w/o using a VPN [RT-AX3000]

    Edit: I've been using a beta firmware from Asus (9.0.0.4.386_47757) and Quad9's DNS server (9.9.9.9, 149.112.112.112), but those hadn't solved the issue until I changed the DNS Privacy Protocol from [none] to [DNS-over-TLS (DoT)]: GUI>WAN>Internet Connection>DNS Privacy Protocol: [DNS-over-TLS...
