    Solved RT-AC68U: In-router DNS resolution issues

    Thank you for posting all this and for everyone chiming in! I'm running Merlin on my GT-AX11000 and was very confused on how to configure it correctly with pihole. This is just awesome! I have an AiMesh with an RT-AX88U, RT-AX89X and RT-AX82U with two being Merlin capable. I'm really hoping...

    Just wanted to say a quick thank you for this detailed write up. This saved me so much time setting up RT-AC68U to work with PIA! Excellent post from someone with a wealth of information.

    Policy Rules or Selective Routing Question

    Apologies, I left that part out since I had already set it up that way and just assumed I could use the selective routing on the Asus to automatically switch from VPN to ISP. It's a bummer that it won't work, but the setup (which is exactly how you described above) will work fine. Again...

    Policy Rules or Selective Routing Question

    Well, I have found a working solution and it was in front of me the entire time. I pretty much talked through it in my previous reply and then it hit me later. It's simple and is already in place! Even though I was hoping I could accomplish this on the router and have it done automatically...

    Policy Rules or Selective Routing Question

    I shouldn't have said the router was useless, as that's not really how I feel. It's a really awesome router and the Merlin load makes it simply amazing with all the additional capabilities being added. Each of the Amazon FireTv boxes/sticks (3 boxes and two sticks) run everything on each...

    Policy Rules or Selective Routing Question

    Unfortunately, I don't think this will help me out too much. I'm using a total of 5 Amazon FireTV boxes/sticks which have Kodi side loaded. I had set up the VPN specifically to run all the Kodi devices through the VPN, but if Netflix (and Hulu) are blocking VPN IP addresses it's going to...

    Policy Rules or Selective Routing Question

    Just to follow up a bit more. Under my "Advanced Settings" in Merlin, I have my "Accept DNS Configuration" set at "Exclusive" and have confirmed my "Redirect Internet Traffic" is set on "Policy Rules." I'm not sure if I need to mess around with the WAN DNS Settings, but I've tried a couple...

    Policy Rules or Selective Routing Question

    Hello and thank you very much for the reply. Yes, with my .201 rule the traffic goes out through the VPN with no problem; I've also confirmed the VPN IP address by going to PIA's site as well as ipleak.net. I added all the above rules and still no luck. I get the message from Netflix that...

    Policy Rules or Selective Routing Question

    Hello! I'm hunting for a solution and found this. However, it doesn't seem to be working and I'm not sure if it's related to the Netflix IP addresses or other rules I have for selective routing. I have this rule for my Amazon FireTv box which I would like to run through the VPN except when...
