How does this interact/over-ride DNS director and DNS utilities. I have ctrld installed but also use DNS director (which overrides ctrld) to redirect some devices to 8.8.8.8 and DNS didn't work once I installed YazDHCP. Any suggestions? Tks.

Is anyone successfully using DNS over TLS with the latest version? I've switched back to legacy DNS because <50% of requests were making it to my DNS provider (their logs have missing requests) and I was having to refresh web pages again and again. Everything works fine on legacy DNS. Wondering...

Sorry to ask a New question - how to actually check the core hosts and the YazDHCP hosts?

I've done a bit too much and ended up with some problems with this upgrade. Any tips welcome. Background is I tried the upgrade, it failed and reset the router. I upgraded, then loaded an old config file to bring it all back. I installed YazDHCP, and roughly the same time I switched to using...

You're both legends. Thank you so much. Is there a similar tool for VPN config?

Fair comment...any suggestions on how to deal with 70 fixed IP addresses...?

Tried to upgrade. Reset my RT-AX88U to default settings without an upgrade (perhaps due to the ControlD applet I'd installed on the JFFS). Got it going and then found my AI Mesh RT-AC58U wasn't working but looked like it was so all the IoT stuff in the house was failing and I couldn't see why...

Usually I use a smart DNS which works really well. I've got a gap between ISP connections so am tethering 5G data as the backup WAN. But sites can confirm my location now somehow when I'm using the Smart DNS or even a VPN. Do the usual settings for DNS and VPN not apply to WAN2 or would I...

I couldn't find anything in the logs until I rebooted. Going on/off didn't show much. Then I found it - port reserved. I was using ports in use with other VPN's or reserved for some other reason. Once I changed the port, it started working again. Or so I think...

Something funny going on since 388.2. I don't have any add-ons but if I try to set up a TCP OpenVPN Server, the daemon won't start - the up/down fails. Works fine with a UDP OpenVPN server. Have a wireguard and an openvpn client active too if that helps narrow the issue.

Is anyone else having issues with Eufycam or other IoT in the RT-AX88U AiMesh. Since the last upgrade my cams keep dropping off an aimesh outpost and won't connect back to it. Upnp is enabled. All other suggestions welcome.

I was hoping something about Apple IP services would be in the Fixed list. Am I the only one having trouble with using Home Sharing/My Computer on an Apple TV with Asus gear. Stopped working since I replaced the A Merlin RT-AC68 on ancient code with a Merlin RT-AX88d. My Apple TV can't see my...

If you're using a smart DNS provider and you haven't logged in; or if for some reason you have a different IP to the one logged in at the Smart DNS; then your Smart DNS provider will not respond properly to requests from it's redirected services (although usually they're nice enough to pass...

Wait a sec. Merlin is one person? Doing all this? I'm like 7 years into using routers in ways I couldn't without him. That's insane. Wow. Thanks. Donation sent.

Beta 3 seemed to stabilise my AiMesh that was very very wobbly on Beta 2 (RT-AX88U plus some Zenwifi Minis and an RT-AC68U). Setup still tricky - took me 3 times to get it to see one Zenwifi. Otherwise though finally able to walk around home without a problem. Now, though, OpenVPN is playing up...
