Hi, Thanks for testing that, the behaviour you are seeing is what I expected when I configured the DNSFilter to begin with, but for whatever reason that's not what happens for me - as I've said in my case DNSFilter does not allow requests to pass to whatever is configured in LAN DNS 2.

Hey, thanks for linking that config, I will try that later. One question: I'm not very familiar with dnsmasq configuration, but it sounds like strict-order make dnsmasq use the addresses in resolv.conf in-order (not inverse order), which means WAN DNS 1 first and WAN DNS 2 (the pihole) second...

I have figured out a workaround to the problem. With the following config: 10.0.0.3 (my pihole) and 10.0.0.1 (the router's LAN address) configured as DNS servers in the DHCP server DNSFilter enabled with a "no filtering" exclusion for pihole's MAC Setting DNSFilter's global filter mode to...

Thanks for taking the time to respond, appreciate it. Unfortunately I don't have a second device to run a pihole on, otherwise I would indeed have two piholes running. Yep, that's exactly why I am using DNSFilter. And this seems to be the crux of the problem: because you cannot add a...

I do understand how DNS works and how to configure DNS on a basic home network. I also understand how to design configure and maintain DNS for large enterprise networks, which is one of the things I do professionally. My confusion was centred around the DNSFilter configuration the Asus router...

According to the description of the router option in DNSFilter, they aren't mutually exclusive settings: ""Router" will force clients to use the DNS provided by the router's DHCP server" What's actually happening is that 10.0.0.3 is serving all DNS requests, even when they're sent to 10.0.0.1...

Hi, Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I've got an issue with DNSFilter on my RT-AC68u running merlin 386.7_2 (but this issue also affected previous versions). I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I don't understand something about DNSFilter (quite possibly the latter). My router is at...
