    Unbound unbound_manager (Manager/Installer utility for unbound - Recursive DNS Server) - General questions / discussion thread 2

    I am running Martineau's unbound_DNS_via_OVPN script currently on ac86u running Merlin 386.5. It is working the same as with earlier versions of firmware for me.

    Unbound Unbound DNS VPN Client w/policy rules

    I did some testing yesterday also and reached the same conclusion as you have. Also, thanks for posting such a helpful installation guide. I followed it with minor modifications and was able to get it working for VPN5 easily (I needed my default route to VPN provider to be lower priority that...

    Unbound unbound_manager (Manager/Installer utility for unbound - Recursive DNS Server)

    My configuration is similar to yours and I have the same results. After reading this entire thread, it seems some people actually see their VPN interface IP as the reported DNS server (rather than the WAN interface IP) when Accept DNS = Disabled for devices using the VPN. My knowledge here is...

    question about dlna

    Does anyone have a patched minidlna with dsd support for merlin asuswrt on an ac86u? I think doing it myself is beyond me :(

    Minidlna dates in logfile are 1969?

    Thank you for your quick reply! Except for turning on "Enable UPnP media server" on the media server tab, I'm not doing anything else to start or stop minidlna. I have rebooted many times, reset to fac defaults... Am I missing a step somewhere?

    Minidlna dates in logfile are 1969?

    I am running an ac68u with merlin Firmware Version:382.2_beta2 The date command gives the proper date and newly created or modified files show the proper date with ls -l However, my new minidlna.log entries have a stamp from 1969: [1969/12/31 18:29:40] upnphttp.c:1358: error: send(res_buf)...

    merlin-firmware performance drop from 378.54_2 onward?

    Yes, doing a manual reconfiguration each time. I had tried using the ad-blocking functionality in the revision that offered it (later removed) but followed the steps Merlin outlined in the readme for those who had enabled it. There are three Windows 8 machines I use on the 2.4 wifi network each...

    merlin-firmware performance drop from 378.54_2 onward?

    I will look into iperf and compare results. The dozen times I have upgraded/downgraded, I have done so within a forty minute period and without exception I get the buffering, slower downloads and dropped VPN connection only with the later revisions of firmware. I am not suggesting that I think...

    merlin-firmware performance drop from 378.54_2 onward?

    The first time I upgraded firmware from 378.54_2 to 378.55_0 I noticed that streaming video was choppy/buffering, downloads were taking more time than before the upgrade in revision, and my VPN client was dropping connection every ten minutes or so. This prompted me to try speedtest.net to see...

    merlin-firmware performance drop from 378.54_2 onward?

    I have a T-Mobile Cellspot (Asus 68u) and have been happily running asus-merlin for over a year. However, every time I upgrade from 378.54_2 (to any of the later asus-merlin revisions) I see a 25% drop in download speeds on the 2.4 network. I am doing factory resets after every firmware...

    Slow to connect to internet...Solid ping...Fast transfer

    I wonder if downgrading to Merlin 378.54_2 solves your issues? I am having problems hard to describe as well with Windows 7 computers and my Asus router RT-AC68U running Merlin 378.56. Speedtest shows decent results, but the initial connection to websites is very slow. Also, my VPN connection...
