I have 2 Asus routers with the primary router running Asuswrt and the secondary router connected behind the primary running Merlin running an OpenVPN client and DNS-over-TLS. For different reasons, I want to continue running Asuswrt on the primary but would like DNS over TLS. I am looking at...

Thanks to @RMerlin and @eibgrad for investigating this. The above solution is working for me. I just put the Destination IPs for NextDNS as above and the DNS-over-TLS connection is now being routed through the OpenVPN tunnel instead of WAN as observed from the NextDNS logs showing the VPN IP...

Interesting, so based on this 1) Set up DNS over TLS using the Merlin WAN UI 2) You can continue to use PBR with OpenVPN (setting DNS to disabled) 3) Add the route directive to the custom config field of the VPN client UI so that the DNS-over-TLS connection is forced through the VPN gateway...

Thank you, this makes sense. I stopped using PBR and just chose "Force Internet Traffic through Tunnel" -> Yes and set the OpenVPN DNS to disabled and the NextDNS logs show the DNS over TLS connection going through the OpenVPN tunnel. PS: Too bad though about PBR resulting in DNS-over-TLS...

Yes, I am using Policy based routing Force Internet Traffic through Tunnel -> Policy Rules (strict) Block routed clients if tunnel goes down -> Yes and the one rule being 192.168.xx.0/24 -> 0.0.0.0/0 (Iface -> VPN) [so all clients through the VPN]

Hello, I am running the latest Merlin on an AC86U. I am running an OpenVPN connection with DNS set to Exclusive and it uses the VPN's DNS as expected I then set up DNS-over-TLS with NextDNS and set the OpenVPN DNS to disabled as per the Wiki. My expectation was that the DNS-over-TLS...

I bought AX88U, works well but I want DFS channels. However, my crappy chromecasts don't support DFS channels so thinking of returning this and getting the GT AX11000. However, I dont game, dont want to game and don't want any of the game optimization features that come with GT AX11000. What do...
