    Issue Connecting to Certain Sites?

    Thanks for your reply, the DNS service is good to make sure you browse is safe (outbound), how about dealing with inbound attack? Just use the built in Asus firewall and the usual best practice for not port forwarding any thing? Thanks

    [SOLVED] Require factory default for 384.17 on RT-AC68U upgrade?
