    dnsmasq: Maximum number of concurrent DNS queries reached (max: 150)

    I had modified last week when using VPN, but I reset the WAN DNS settings to blank (to force router to use ISP). There are no third party DNS services in place (or at least there should not be any).

    dnsmasq: Maximum number of concurrent DNS queries reached (max: 150)

    Please clarify - what is "dnsmasq's upstream DNS server"? I am not sure what dnsmasq is or what device or software is using it. Just to add, I see the /etc/resolv.conf contains two entries: nameserver 167.206.13.180 nameserver 167.206.13.181 This makes sense for my ISP. Does the error...

    dnsmasq: Maximum number of concurrent DNS queries reached (max: 150)

    I just started to receive a few of these errors. I had a VPN running but turned it off because of DNS issues. WAN is set to use default ISP's DNS. As I said, VPN is off. DNS Director was inactivated. I am not sure why these messages would pop up. Here are the log entries for today: Jul 31...

    kernel: br0 / eth2 messages

    Looks like it pops up once every few days. It's something I see in the logs but has no effect that anyone can see. Also seems to happen between 1 AM and 4 AM when it does happen. Not much internet usage then. But that could be random too.

    Using Apple TV with NordVPN / Merlin

    I had the VPN off for a few days and then turned it back on, directed only to a few devices. The WAN DNS setting was set to revert to ISP router. Once VPN was turned on, all devices not on VPN lost their DNS. Turning VPN off did not restore either. I finally fixed by rebooting router. Any...

    VPN Director enable/disable rules from iPhone shortcut

    Each Apple TV has apps that "need" the VPN for my use (MLB for example) and apps that I am afraid will reject it (YouTubeTV for example). I may want to watch a baseball game in one room, and then my wife may want to watch YouTubeTV on that same set 30 minutes later. MLB blacks out teams in...

    VPN Director enable/disable rules from iPhone shortcut

    It is possible to create a shortcut for your iPhone to turn on and off the VPN by running scripts over ssh. But is there a way to change the VPN Director Rules file to enable or disable individual rules? I see the config file in /jffs/openvpn/vpndirector_rulelist, but I do not have the coding...

    Disable YazFi

    I installed YazFi but am not using. How can I remove it? My log is cluttered with messages: Jul 23 10:10:00 YazFi: No YazFi guests are enabled in the configuration file!

    Using Apple TV with NordVPN / Merlin

    So two more question - easy and more difficult: 1) When you specify exclusive or strict, the DNS used will be the one on the WAN page if a device get the VPN, And when a device does not use the VPN, the system will bypass the entry on teh WAN page and use the ISP DNS. Is that correct? 2)...

    Cannot get VPN to function properly from ASUS router to Apple TV

    It worked well today. I think deleting MLB app and turning back on with location services disabled made a big difference

    Cannot get VPN to function properly from ASUS router to Apple TV

    I have NordVPN set-up on my GT-AX6000 router with VPNmgr and VPN Director. I have a single client (in my case set to a Denver IP address). I have VPN Director set to send the VPN address to 3 devices only - an Apple TV, a MacBook Air and a Samsung TV. The VPN seems to work flawlessly on the...

    Using Apple TV with NordVPN / Merlin

    So now that I believe I understand the concepts, I have set up VPN Director for each Apple TV based on an IP address. I can effectively turn the VPN on or off by changing the IP address to go to the VPN on or off setting on my router. But I have issues with the DNS. When the router is not in...

    kernel: br0 / eth2 messages

    Since I did swap of Hitron units, no issues for 24 hours. I will let it go through the weekend before I consider it solved however as my problem was intermittent.

    Using Apple TV with NordVPN / Merlin

    I think I got it working. Loaded vpnmgr from JackYaz (needed Entware installed first). Now I can pick a city for my US-based IP address. Will see how I do with blackout restrictions tomorrow, but at least I can get my devices to operate with the VPN. Could not do it before.
