Hello. Hopefully this is the right section to post this. I am currently looking to run a Searx container (they have an official container on the Docker registry so I'm going with that one) for my own use. I'd like to run just that container alone over TOR or VPN for an extra layer of privacy...

Hello. Long time no post! I have an RT-AC5300 router with the latest version of Merlin on it. I've set up an OVPN client following my VPN providers instructions. I also have a couple of policy-based routes configured on the client as I only want two devices to go over the VPN tunnel. The tunnel...

The problem is that I need to have the 2nd AP doing routing because I want to add prerouting IP tables entries on it that tell those devices on the 192.168.2.X network to use a different set of DNS IP's depending on destination. Otherwise they just use normal ISP, or Cloudflare or whatever DNS...

Hello. This should have been fairly straightforward but it's wrecking my head the past 3 days. Basically I want to do per the attached diagram. The AP on the 192.168.2.0/24 network should not be able to talk to devices on the 192.168.1.0/24, I just want that traffic going out to the Internet...

That would be great thank you!

Just got my pfsense box set up along with a few VPN clients and have selective routing working at a host IP level. So I have the basics there working. I noticed you are using pfblocker for your alias entries. I tried using just firewall aliases. Only thing is I think I'm going to have to resort...

Useful info, thanks. I don't subscribe to Netflix so not affected by this presently. If I did I would want to push all Netflix traffic directly over WAN and not VPN. This is great information. Thank you. I might look in to some sort of Wiki or repository that could be maintained regularly. It...

This is really interesting. I'm awaiting delivery of a pfsense box right now but plan to implement selective routing as soon as I get it. What would be brilliant is if there was somewhere to keep a list of the different service e.g. Netflix, Hulu, DirectvNOW and so on and their associated...

Thanks for this. It looks OK, though I think I'd prefer to have a pfsense box running due to the masses of support available etc. I'd like to do a few things with regards smart dns and openvpn/l2tp/pptp etc and pfsense ticks all the boxes for me in that respect. As well as IDS/IPS as best as the...

Spotted this. Would it be a good fit (in addition to the other components on that build list linked) for what I'm looking to achieve? https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32821689998.html?pid=808_0000_0101 Q355G4 I should add is the model I am looking at.

Now THAT looks juicy. I'm interested. Seeing as the thread is from 2016 some of those parts could be a good bit cheaper too.

I'm thinking of building a pfsense box or buying a Netgate SG-3100 to put behind my ASUS RT-AC5300 router. This is for two reasons. First, I'm reading a lot about the built in AI Protection and user data being sent to Trend (opt-in if you enable the feature). I don't want my data processed this...

Just wondering if this is reasonably simple to do? I'm currently running dnsmasq to point specific domains over specific DNS IP's. Everything else goes over another DNS IP address set at the WAN configuration level. Is it possible to have a VPN client up and running and point all DNS traffic...

That would explain why I can't find it. :D

Ah OK, yes I am using https so I'll switch that back for now. Though hope we can get https back properly at some stage. I was looking for the 384 fw but cannot find it in the downloads section. I only have 380.69_82 at the moment which I thought was the latest. Thank you by the way RMerlin for...
