    Blocking torrents on my network

    I wouldn't mind if torrent traffic would go through VPN on the router, but that's not optional for me because VPN redirection isn't working on my router, perhaps because of a bug. I'm just concerned about torrenting for legal reasons, I don't want to get into trouble because of some user on my...

    Blocking torrents on my network

    Hi everyone! I'm looking for a solution to block torrenting on my network. I think the best solution would be to use a Pi-hole and add torrent tracker servers on the blocklist. However, I want to prevent other users on the network to avoid Pi-hole, if they manually set an other DNS server on...

    Asus WRt firmware vpn director not working

    I mean by not working is when I add a policy, a specific device should be using VPN only. When I test IP on that specific device, I get back my WAN IP, not VPN.

    Asus WRt firmware vpn director not working

    Hi there! I'm having a similar problem. I just want specific devices to use VPN, but VPN Director isn't working. This should be very easy, but somehow my router won't consider these rules. Is there any way to make these rules in command line?

    Hi! I have applied the previously suggested settings and it looks like working. However my router is acting up and I'm not 100% sure it's not defective.

    Firewall doesen't block custom rules, neighter Skynet

    Hi All! I have a Asus router that I bought about 3 months ago, recently I started to focus more on network security because my home server was hacked previously. I have Pi-hole on my whole network and I want to have a secure firewall on my router. This is my configuration (from Skynet)...

    Asus Merlin on RT-AC86U - 2GHz network suddenly stops

    Hi Everyone! I've recently purchased a Asus RT-AC86U router. Out of the box I installed Merlin's firmware (version 386.7_2). As I set up wireless networking, I realised a new feature (at least for me), "smart connect". I immediately turned off, because I have smart devices that can only handle...

    Router DNS settings with Pi-Hole and Unbound

    That's really sad, because the reason I got this router to handle the 1 Gbps internet and my local network..

    Router DNS settings with Pi-Hole and Unbound

    This is the sysinfo of my router. I've read other posts on this forum and I turned off and changed things that others suggest and the router's performance is still weak. I did speedtest within my local network with iPerf and for example the local network speed between my Macbook and iPhone...

    Router DNS settings with Pi-Hole and Unbound

    I've turned off AI Protection and any other settings that can consume resources that can slow down the speed. I have Verizon 1 Gbps subscription, but the router can't handle more than 650 Mbps. I tested it on wired connection on my Macbook. I also did several speed test on the router itself...

    Router DNS settings with Pi-Hole and Unbound

    I have Verizon 1 Gbps subscription, with their router I can get close to 1 Gbps, with my Asus router, I can do max 650 Mbps download speed. I agree with you about the DHCP, it shouldn't consume that much resources, but I still can't figure out why my router can't handle that speed.

    Router DNS settings with Pi-Hole and Unbound

    Thank you! This time I used Firefox + Nimbus capture addon. This is my current settings, I have reinstalled Pi-Hole due to an error that I couldn't figure out: So, Pi-Hole+Unbound is the DHCP and DNS server. I'm not sure about DNSSEC - Do I need it? Does it makes sense? I didn't check the...

    Router DNS settings with Pi-Hole and Unbound

    Hi! I'm trying to save the Asus router's resources for the internet connection. I have gigabit internet (940/880 Mbps) and my router still can't produce this speed, opposed to my provider's own router can...but I prefer to use my Asus router, because I'm more familiar with it and it's more...
