    Upgrade firmware via cli

    Just putting 2 cents in here: My router is currently about 7000 or so miles away being served over dsl speeds. But I can still administer it with a combination of ssh tunnelling and web admin. The problem is that this presents enough bandwidth challenges (and who knows how much an...

    DNS and internet dropping

    Well, My DNS is a bit more stable; however I now experience complete loss of DNS every time the router reboots. I actually had the router set to reboot once a week ; now I had to turn this off. The fix is always the same: go into WAN DNS setting, click "assign" and change the DNS...

    Solved OpenVPN config file with custom server hostname?

    It's easy but it's completely brain dead we have to do this, and the ASUS router software burns in the private IP address. Then you see control-freak threads like this one where not only are they not going to answer your question but they'll just poo poo you for putting the question in the wrong...

    DNS and internet dropping

    Noted; not sure what I put the drive on there for at this point but I felt like jffs could be done that way. I know that originally it was completely not doable. The main thing is figuring out how to debug the problem. If jffs / usb is a red herring glad to hear that.

    DNS and internet dropping

    I'm having a strange issue and I just need some tips on how to debug it. I have a dual WAN AX11000 router running 3004.388.5. I have a SanDisk extreme USB drive configured for JFFS that contains some dnsmasq configuration. Diversion is installed but currently off as it was "beating" on the usb...

    hooking DNSMASQ requests

    Thanks for the tip on unbound. This seems to do exactly what I want: https://github.com/ohitz/unbound-domainfilter

    hooking DNSMASQ requests

    Will definitely have a look thank you! DNSMASQ seems more like "busybox" than a focused dns server because of all that it does. Thanks for the resource.

    hooking DNSMASQ requests

    Thanks- Yes I am focused on actual east-west/intranet traffic. So looking to block local host name resolution unless it's going to the blessed hosts. Of course in a guest network this is not an issue but assuming a network without perfect east/west firewalls configured. Really trying to hook...

    hooking DNSMASQ requests

    I wish I could do this by domain. It's all one domain. I'll just have a list of hosts.

    hooking DNSMASQ requests

    Hi All, This is a bit of a weird configuration and I am not sure if it can be done. Goal: -Part A: If a DNS request for a host matches a list of host names, pass request to upstream DNS server -Part B: If it doesn't match one of those host names, I want to send it to a sink-hole Part B is...

    Should I be worried? (sha256 hash not matching)

    Diversion Diversion and a crashing dnsmasq

    Hi- I know this is an old thread but I just want to say Diversion will take your router out if you aren't careful. And it was behaving Very strangely. I had network up but DNS failures 2 days in a row in the morning. I assume maybe it was triggered by diversion updating its blacklist but it's...
