Hi! So that's basically the question. I have an AC68U, and I'd like to block every internet access, except for the only exception, the Netflix servers. All google/samsung tracking, I'd love to be able to get rid of. But again, I'd need this rule to only apply to that specific device. Is this...

Thanks! I had no idea these options were so easily available! Thinking of adding some IoT devices, but they're to be controlled from a Home Assistant server, I don't want them exposed to the internet themselves.

Holy cow...I was thinking complicated rules just like what you said. Apparently even the stock firmware includes this. On the network map screen, not clicking on View Clients, but on the bubble on top of it. This shows the clients on a column on the right, and you can block specific devices...

Hi guys! I have an Asus AC68U running Merlin v384.19. I have several devices which I don't trust, but which I'd still like to have internal LAN connectivity. But I don't want them reaching the internet, though. How could I do this? Is there any kind of IP or MAC block for this? I also run a...

Thanks for the help! I'm actually not sure how that setting on the pihole would be. I made the opposite, setting the DNSfilter global rule to no filter. The default DHCP setting is going to grant them the pihole DNS address anyway, filtering will happen there regardless. Then any specific...

Hmmm thanks! Seems that doesn't work. If I set the Global Filter Mode to Custom 1 (Custom DNS 1 being 192.168.1.50), the DNS resolution immediately stalls. Is there any other setting outside of this page that could affect how the DNSFilter behaves? EDIT: I might have found it. I changed the WAN...

Hi guys! First I'll explain my current setup...I have an Asus AC68U with Merlin v384.13 at the moment. IP: 192.168.1.1 Router DNS1: 192.168.1.50 (it's a pihole container) Router DNS2: 192.168.1.55 (another pihole on a different machine, for redundancy) So far, these work if manually set on any...

AC68U, with firmware v384.11_2...Thanks!

Hi guys! It's been quite a while since I last used a openvpn server...Last time (maybe 8 years ago) I still didn't have a nice router presenting a form with all the options needed. However I'm a bit confused, and seems I fail to connect my KDE laptop to the VPN... Can you help walking me...

Thanks...I guess I'll disable the Pihole's DHCP then. Thanks for the help!

Thanks...that was the recommendation of PiHole, at least for better tracking of the connected devices on its statistics console.

Hi guys! My network has a separate DHCP server (mi Pi-hole), and now I'm considering to completely isolate some devices I don't trust so much in my network, but that still need internet. So the guest networks function of my AC68U seemed a great idea! Except of course, because the network is...

Ok...Sorry for the bother. Seems I can't replicate the issue, just as it came it went. Two hang ups in as many days, and now it's 48h running stable with a normal RAM consumption...I'd leave it be for now, I'll update if there's any further issues to troubleshoot. Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't see anything very obvious on the syslog. And htop now shows a normal memory usage, idling for the last 8 hours at 111-115MB. Yesterday before it died I could see it was at around 250MB, which is really scratching the limits, even if it has swap file. So...I'll...

Hi guys! I've been having no trouble with my AC68U for years...I'm currently running Merlin v384.9. And after several hours running, I slowly start losing my connection, and not even the page for the router loads. I need to completely power it off with the power button and start it up. What...
