I keep finding similar questions, but not exactly what I'm looking to understand. My routers are all RT-AC68U I've updated them to Merlin 386.7_2 I'm having several separate issues. - My multiple Google Home devices now stutter and cut out while playing music (together or separately) - I'm...

So, using the DNS Filter - Mac Address DNS assignment does work well, but what I've found is that it nullifies Diversion. It seems like there is no Holy Grail to allow for all these at once: - Router based VPN - Diversion - Policy Rules - DNS Assignment I can have it all, but no Diversion. Or...

Thanks, I'm glad to know I'm not going crazy. I definitely overlooked the screenshot DNS's were different. So then two things: 1) To be clear, which of these are you saying should not be entered? 103.86.96.100 & 103.86.99.100 Or 103.86.99.99 & 103.86.96.96 2) Which DNS Servers do you...

I'm curious about something. The NordVPN Article for configuring Merlin says to use these two DNS Servers: 103.86.96.100 103.86.99.100 The source article is here, Step #10: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1047410642/AsusWRT-Merlin-setup-with-NordVPN.htm What confuses me is...

I just set up NordVPN on the same router the other day, and all I did was merge the entries. Works fine for me.

Thanks all, setting it to 'Exclusive' did the trick. The issue now is that the one device added to the Policy Rules (Device IP to specific Destination IP), works successfully, staying behind the VPN, but DNS Leak Test shows it still using the ISP DNS. I would have thought it should be using...

I set up a new VPN Client. DNS Global Filter is set to ON > Router DNS is set to use the recommended NordVPN IP addresses. Everything works as expected so long as "Route all internet traffic to the tunnel" is set to "No". My issue with this is that I need to route certain clients outside the...

Thanks both! RAH, I guess what I meant was, if I'm not assigning Cloudflare to those two DNS Entry spots, they wouldn't be assigned anywhere else either, so then how could I still use them? The only wrinkle in my set-up at this point was that there were a few port 53 entries appearing in my...

Thanks for the reply, RAH. I guess my only question at that point would be "then how can I ensure I'm using Cloudflare as my DNS provider"?

Correct, that setting is set to 'No'

I believe so, I have DNS Filter 'ON' with Global Filter Mode = 'Router' And I have my VPN Client "Accept DNS Configuration" set to 'Strict'

Thanks, looks like it was vlan2 for me. So, the vast majority of the output is like .853 However, there are a few outliers, below. Is this typical, or could there be a reason for it? 18.218.53: 8119+ [1au] A? dealer.spotify.com. (47) 18.218.53: 35017+ [1au] A? datarouter.ol.epicgames.com...

Ahhh, that makes much more sense in the context of this conversation, now that I have a better understanding of the features I'm trying to test. I had read the Wiki before, but the "temporarily disabling validation", in my mind, didn't equate to "disable DNSSec in gui", but now I understand what...

Thanks, both! If I were to disable DNSSec, would that leave me 'less secure' than having both DNSSec and DoT enabled? I ran the test at the site listed, and got the 'thumbs up result'. Does this confirm DoT, or just DNSSec? Additionally, when I tested sites labeled as "Sites With Bad DNSSEC...

Hello, I used to use Stubby which I installed via Entware, but I believe that is now depreciated. I now utilize the setting in Merlin within WAN > Internet Connection > DNS Privacy Protocol, set to 'DNS-over-TLS' (settings attached in a screenshot). However, when I visit https://1.1.1.1/help...
