    Any usefulness for Skynet + pfsense/opnsense in transparent bridge mode?

    Great, thank you. I'll keep a "soft hunt" for a deal on a good pfSense machine (or OPNsense ... I'm still confused on which one I should try first! Any suggestions for a beginner?).

    Any usefulness for Skynet + pfsense/opnsense in transparent bridge mode?

    Thanks, that's a good suggestion. I assume you mean in transparent bridge mode, right? Because my ASUS router is running as the DHCP server? I'm not sure if this is what is called a "Double NAT" if I let both of them be DHCP servers?

    Any usefulness for Skynet + pfsense/opnsense in transparent bridge mode?

    Thanks everyone for the advice and input. I am happy with AdGuard Home running on my Synology. And SkyNet seems to be doing a decent job as well (I might as well take advantage of having a nice Merlin-capable router). OPNSense/PFSense might make sense if I wasn't in the Merlin ecosystem (I love...

    Any usefulness for Skynet + pfsense/opnsense in transparent bridge mode?

    Thanks, that’s helpful. So all those features are available in bridge mode, it seens. But curious if adding it to my existing system in bridge mode gives me any additional security?

    Any usefulness for Skynet + pfsense/opnsense in transparent bridge mode?

    I assumed this question has been asked thousands of times before, but surprisingly despite different Google searches and forum thread searches, I couldn't find an answer. On my home set-up, I have AdGuardHome running on my NAS. I then have my Merlin ASUS router pointing the NAS IP address for...

    pros and cons for the two common DNS setups for a local adblocker - adguard home

    And Yes, I'm positive I'm not advertising: So what's the way I can show the "offending" devices that are trying to bypass my AGH device and sending DNS requests straight to the router?!

    pros and cons for the two common DNS setups for a local adblocker - adguard home

    Thank you for the clarification! That makes sense actually - I was thinking I saw more ads "leaking" through on some of my devices... I have now re-enables DNS Director... No, I don't have IPv6 enabled...

    pros and cons for the two common DNS setups for a local adblocker - adguard home

    Yeah, it's AGH running on Portainer on Synology NAS. Perhaps I need to adjust the set-up. Any tips on where I can find the right information? I followed all the steps here (and doesn't mention anything about DNS Director etc.): https://mariushosting.com/synology-install-adguard-with-portainer/

    pros and cons for the two common DNS setups for a local adblocker - adguard home

    Thanks for that link. Maybe it has to do with the AGH settings on the NAS (specifically, what I need to select as the "Upstream DNS Server").

    pros and cons for the two common DNS setups for a local adblocker - adguard home

    Yes they do recognize network clients, but NOT ALL. It isn't like the WAN setting where ALL traffic seems to be coming from the router, but with DNS Director On (and yes, No redirection on the separate device), it will still show the most active client as the Router itself.

    Custom DNS for Guest Network Possible?

    Does garage door opener work now?

    pros and cons for the two common DNS setups for a local adblocker - adguard home

    If I do indeed enable DNS Director... does it matter whether I set it "Global Redirection" to to the Router IP address (and under DHCP tab, I have the DNS set to the IP address of the NAS running Adguard Home) or whether I set it to "User Defined" and specifically put in the NAS IP address...
  13. P

    pros and cons for the two common DNS setups for a local adblocker - adguard home

    I see. Well, the issue is, if I enable DNS Director, then Stats/Log are inaccurate. Instead of showing what was blocked per client, it will says "RT-AC68U" (the router name) as the top client...

    pros and cons for the two common DNS setups for a local adblocker - adguard home

    After a lot of experimentation, I found it was not necessary to enable DNS Director if you set the LAN DNS to the AdGuard Home IP Address.

    Custom DNS for Guest Network Possible?

    Try killing the Guest WiFi and test it out... I have a feeling it will work 100%
