    Wireguard to PiHole setup

    "I am trying to set Wireguard in Merlin to work with my Pihole when I am away. I see the blue dot when I connect to wireguard in the Asus webpage\VPN" That sounds like you already have an config file. just add a line in that file (notepad will do) and put in DNS = 192.168.0.25 <-- whatever ip...

    Wireguard to PiHole setup

    On your Wireguard client config file add a line with DNS settings. example: [Interface] address = 10.0.0.1/24 PrivateKey = somePrivateKey DNS = 192.168.0.25 <-- whatever ip you have on your pi-hole

    Wireguard to PiHole setup

    You need to make sure you're pointing to your local DNS IP (the Pi-hole) in your VPN settings on the Asus router. Additionally, you should also set the DNS IP to your Pi-hole in the WireGuard app on your client device. This way, when you're connected via WireGuard, all DNS queries will go...

    OPNSense or BE88u?

    Yes, OPNsense needs at least two NICs (ports), one for WAN, one for LAN since it sits between your modem (or fiber converter) and your network. My setup is listed in previous post.

    OPNSense or BE88u?

    I recommend a dedicated machine for OPNsense. My own setup runs on an older Intel i3 8th gen CPU with 8GB RAM, two 120GB SSDs in RAID 1, and dual Intel NICs. My entire WAN is behind a VPN and the machine pushes full gigabit speeds without any issues, even under full load, it only reaches around...

    OPNSense or BE88u?

    @weaverinva Don’t be intimidated by OPNsense. It's much easier than it might seem at first. The web interface is clean, well organized, and honestly no harder to learn than the GUI on most consumer grade routers like Asus, Netgear, or TP-Link. Even if you’ve never worked with FreeBSD or...

    Release ASUS RT-BE88U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37963 (2025/03/20)

    These firmware "updates" have been nothing more than a joke since this router was introduced :( I have spent countless hours trying to sort VLAN setups with guestnetworks and what not. Everytime a new firmware arrived it made nothing easier. I'm not even gonna bother to install this one. I use...

    VLAN Switch Control settings for the Default IoT network are not being applied to the RT-BE88U AiMesh router

    Agree! I tried every possible way I could think of but never got it working good. I've tried with both stock and Merlin firmwares. In the end i gave up and setup OPNsense on a pc. The BE88U is now used as an AP. Will probably not look back.
