    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    You are a magician, everything works perfectly. Funny thing is when I go the VPN site they have a link to check if the SmartDNS is working and it say's not, yet it obviously is. Not something I'll worry about for now though. Thank you so much for your help it's gone above and beyond what anyone...

    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    I have hopefully, done all that but for some reason my PC seems to work in that it allows me to access UK TV without the VPN but my Kodi media box and my Sky box don't. This is what I have put in. I am obviously missing something but do not know what.

    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    I am just having a few minutes in between looking after my granddaughter so not much time for the next few days as you can imagine. Should I have any scripts already in the router or is just empty? Is there any particular convention I need to follow when naming files within scripts? What, if...

    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Connection failed. I'm starting to think I should have gone to primary school, never mind a degree..:( It's possibly because I am using TPlink powerline adaptors between my various bit's of kit. Is it necessary to...

    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    Are there any simple ways to put the scripts into the router without going to the trouble of obtaining a Degree in Linux? This looks like a very straightforward router interface and I would really like to keep it but if it is so difficult to input a simple script I may be forced to switch to...

    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    Hi Colin, I have to confess I have no idea how to do that. How do I get the script into the router? I have never used Linux before and I am a complete beginner.

    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    Further to that this is the script they issue. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 83.170.84.75:1512 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 45.55.147.169:1512 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to...

    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    Hi Colin, please forgive my ignorance about such things but I am almost a complete novice at this. My VPN supplier has this link to how to configure a DD-WRT router to bypass a Transparent DNS maybe you could glance at it and see if it could be adapted to work on merlin. Any help is totally...

    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    I was rather hoping that there would be something along the lines of the various scripts for DD-WRT that VPN suppliers advertise to bypass Transparent DNS.

    Is Merlin capable of bypassing transparent DNS proxy?

    I switched ISP's and the new one is using a transparent DNS proxy. My VPN provider says that if I want to continue to use a SmartDNS (which I do) I need to flash my RT-AC68U to DD-WRT. I am reluctant to do that so have been using a VPN but the drop in speed is starting to annoy. My ISP is pretty...
