    WAN DNS setting ignored due to pppd - 386.13 on Asus AC68u

    That is correct. Devices on the LAN go to a NextDNS service, and I want the router to be using something else. It's more that I'm exploring capabilities at the moment. It's easier to distinguish what devices is making the calls if I can separate the router out.

    WAN DNS setting ignored due to pppd - 386.13 on Asus AC68u

    I'm not sure why, but it seems to be working now. The thing i've changed is that I noticed the time on the router was showing the wrong timezone, so I corrected that - could timing be the issue here? I can confirm that I have (and had before), enabled customs scripts in the GUI. Here is the...

    WAN DNS setting ignored due to pppd - 386.13 on Asus AC68u

    I gave this a try, and I get the same result unfortunately - dns servers for the WAN side are still set to the ISP provided services,

    WAN DNS setting ignored due to pppd - 386.13 on Asus AC68u

    I'll give that a go. I tried the below script, which was suggested by someone else after a Google search: source /usr/sbin/helper.sh pc_replace "resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.conf" "no-resolv" $CONFIG pc_append "server=8.8.8.8" $CONFIG pc_append "server=8.8.4.4" $CONFIG nvram set...

    WAN DNS setting ignored due to pppd - 386.13 on Asus AC68u

    The approach I'm taking now is to try to get dnsmasq to use the DNS config I want after it starts, or during start, but after pppd starts. I've tried a few approaches but nothing works so far. Does anybody have an idea how to do this via a script in /jffs or something like that?

    WAN DNS setting ignored due to pppd - 386.13 on Asus AC68u

    To follow up on my 'curiosity' comment above: I put 'dumb-param' as an additional parameter for pppd, and applied that. This is the log output: Mar 5 14:37:56 pppd[6387]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. Mar 5 14:37:56 pppd[6387]: RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.11 compiled against pppd 2.4.7 Mar 5...

    WAN DNS setting ignored due to pppd - 386.13 on Asus AC68u

    So I've updated to the latest firmware (386.14_2), and completed a factory reset of the router. At this stage all I have done is put in the PPPoE credentials and added WAN-side DNS servers (in this case, Google - 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4). Here is the log after I applied the WAN DNS settings. You can...

    WAN DNS setting ignored due to pppd - 386.13 on Asus AC68u

    Thanks for all your feedback. I'll update to the latest firmware and do a reset and update here when I find out. Also as requeted I'll post syslog info and pictures of my configuration.

    WAN DNS setting ignored due to pppd - 386.13 on Asus AC68u

    Hi all, I'm really hoping someone can help. I have an Asus AC68u router (which I realise is old and now no longer supported), but it is still going strong. Currently I'm running Merlin firmware 386.13 on it. I have just moved house and moved ISPs. Previously I was with Virgin Media, who...

    DNS - passing on source IP address to pihole in the cloud

    This is great, thank you! One futher question - is it possible to pass along a device name associated with the LAN-side IP address of that device? e.g. if 192.168.0.3 makes a DNS request, pass along it's name, 'my-pc'.

    DNS - passing on source IP address to pihole in the cloud

    Great feedback, thank you both. So would you say then, that in order to ensure to keep dnsmasq in scope, for the DHCP config in the router I'd specify the router IP address as DNS? Using this approach, would there be any way of filtering our all the DNS noise from the router itself? I am also...

    DNS - passing on source IP address to pihole in the cloud

    Yep that worked! The extra step being to have clients point to the router as DNS server. Are there any downsides to doing this? Also, are there any other ways of doing this (that is, keeping the LAN and WAN side DNS configs separate)?

    DNS - passing on source IP address to pihole in the cloud

    Hi all, Firstly, I have searched as best I can, but I've not been able to find an answer to this, so forgive me if this has already been address. I am running an Asus AC68U with the Merlin 386.13 firmware. I have a small LAN and 2 piholes running in Oracle OCI free-tier. I have two VMs...
