    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Thanks. That makes sense now.

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    I know ISP equipment will always be biased, but that still doesn't explain the discrepancy between spdMerlin on the router and Speedtest from a device connected to the Asus router. Even a real world test proves that RT-AC68U can handle more than 250Mbps. I just downloaded the Ubuntu image using...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    It's Bell Fibe 1.5Gbps in Canada. To be honest I'm not too fussed with evening hitting these speeds on a single device. But it still doesn't explain why spdMerlin reports 250Mbps, whereas from a device connected to the router it's in the 800-900Mbps. My ISP supplied router is a Bell Home Hub...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    So I just got a 1.5Gbps connection and installed spdMerlin to test it. I don't have any 10Gbps capable devices at home and am using an AC-RT68U so understand that the router itself can only handle 1Gbps. spdMerlin installed is v4.3.0. I don't have any QoS setup. spdMerlin is setup to run once...

    DoT setup but still seeing traffic on port #53

    So how do I revert back to the original /etc/dnsmasq.conf? Rename my /jffs/config/dnsmasq.conf to a different name and then restart router? Anything available that doesn't require a router restart? BTW, apologies for not mentioning this earlier but thank you so much to everyone that has been...

    DoT setup but still seeing traffic on port #53

    Don't remember now why I went the route of dnsmasq.conf vs the .add file Interestingly my /etc/dnsmasq.conf file does somehow contain some of my customizations (It has my server lines for pandora.com)!!! Is that normal?

    DoT setup but still seeing traffic on port #53

    Because I need to add more stuff on top of the default file (Most obvious ones to me right now are) Enforce MAC to IP Address assignment using dhcp-host entries Have a couple of server lines for pandora.com to circumvent geo-blocking (server=/pandora.com/<SmartDNS>

    DoT setup but still seeing traffic on port #53

    Ok, I think I'm getting somewhere now I checked my /jffs/config/dnsmasq.conf and found the following config line resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.conf more /tmp/resolv.conf nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 nameserver 127.0.1.1 So out of curiosity, I commented out the first 2 entries in that...

    DoT setup but still seeing traffic on port #53

    Yes, still seeing it. Tested with both DNSFilter Disabled and Enabled. Same results. Also tested @dave14305 suggestion but no change in output. Just out of curiosity I wanted to see what was listening on port #53 on my router. Here's the output netstat -anp | grep LISTEN | grep ":53" tcp...

    DoT setup but still seeing traffic on port #53

    Ran the command and not a single packet captured in 2 minutes

    DoT setup but still seeing traffic on port #53

    Apologies, I wasn't clear. It is enabled and "Global Filter Mode" is set to Router but I don't have any clients configured. So it is effectively not enabled on any client. FTR, I have also tried with it disabled and I observe the same behavior.

    DoT setup but still seeing traffic on port #53

    Hi I'm running 384.17 on an RT-AC68U I used the wiki to setup DNS privacy and it works for the most part. The reason I say for the most part is that some DNS traffic is still using port #53. I use tcpdump against interface ppp0. Here's a short sample of what I see 14:41:57.223430 IP...

    How to open a port on the router itself (Not forward)

    I agree 100% with you. I was just wondering what would be the most accurate way to guarantee it ends up in the most efficient position on router startup. When I issued the command it got put into position 6. I guess I could just force it into position 6 and live with that :) Thanks again for...

    How to open a port on the router itself (Not forward)

    iptables -I INPUT "$(iptables -nvL INPUT --line -t filter | grep -m 1 "state INVALID" | awk '{$1 = $1 + 1; print $1}')" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Worked like a charm. I suppose I need to put this into the firewall-start script file, but have a quick question. On router startup, would there...
