    DNSMASQ address blocking syntax?

    I thought I may as well resurrect this rather than start a new one. Why would I not be able to get this working through dnsmasq.conf.add rather than hosts? I bet it's a simple thing I'm doing wrong. Example that doesn't seem to work, even though it's getting appended to the dnsmasq.conf file...

    Superb. New file content: wuffles@RT-AC86U-6C78:/jffs/configs# more /e(space)tc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.1 RT-AC86U-6C78. RT-AC86U-6C78 192.168.0.1 RT-AC86U-6C78.local 192.168.0.1 router.asus.com 192.168.0.1 www.asusnetwork.net 192.168.0.1 www.asusrouter.com...

    DNSMASQ address blocking syntax?

    Righto, here you go. wuffles@RT-AC86U-6C78:/jffs/configs# cat /jffs/configs/hosts.add 192.168.0.151 radioyamaha.vtuner.com I'll restart service now and see what it amends the other file to.

    DNSMASQ address blocking syntax?

    I promise you it's correct, that's where I was copying it from, however I bet I had it wrong on one of my late night experiments. Can I just edit it out of the etc/hosts file and let it repopulate from the hosts.add file? (And by correct, I mean correct since last night).

    DNSMASQ address blocking syntax?

    No I'd copied it from the hosts.add file. 192.168.0.151 radioyamaha.vtuner.com

    DNSMASQ address blocking syntax?

    I did not. I didn't see any mention of that anywhere - I'm in a high stakes production environment* so it's difficult to reboot most of the time. I can however restart the service. Also, in the hosts file, I've got an interesting thing happened (I've included the bottom two lines): 192.168.0.1...

    DNSMASQ address blocking syntax?

    Hello reader. Trying to revive the (now dead) Internet radio functions of a couple of older Yamaha amps by hosting my own "vtuner" (yCast) server on an old Raspberry Pi I currently have knocking about. To trick the Yamaha amps that are hard-coded to some subdomain or other of vtuner.com, I am...

    How to add hardcoded hosts

    I was worried you'd say that. Time for me to have my own thread then I think as it's not working. Thanks for replying Colin.

    How to add hardcoded hosts

    Rather than start a new thread asking exactly this question (which I am happy to do if people would rather), I've tried doing the above and it's not working for me. I expect it's a formatting error, so is there an example hosts.add file knocking about? Tried searching, can't seem to find it...

    (probably very) Basic setup new ISP router settings help

    Yes, it all came flooding back to me :) - I'll set my WAN IP to an address on their network and all should be fine. They've agreed to the settings mentioned last night, so should all be hunky dory. Back to using a changing external IP again, I've been spoiled. Thanks all for your help. I'll try...

    (probably very) Basic setup new ISP router settings help

    Yep, missed that entirely. Thank you! As above, thank you! My apologies, they offered to put it on the same subnet, I stupidly thought that might be easier as I'd just be forcing LAN traffic that way but you're both absolutely spot on, I completely forgot the OpenVPN client is already routing...

    (probably very) Basic setup new ISP router settings help

    Apologies, I thought this was fairly general network question specifically geared to the settings of the Merlin front end I am using. If a Mod would like to move it, no offence taken. My mistake if that's the case.

    (probably very) Basic setup new ISP router settings help

    OpenVPN Client only. I guess I'm trying to keep this Asuswrt-Merlin setup as still effectively my LAN-side router for the clients internally and have it fire everything out to the ISP's router. If it were in a separate network it'd probably be easier for me to figure out.

    (probably very) Basic setup new ISP router settings help

    Hi, just found this forum. Currently running an Asus RT-AC86U running firmware Version:384.13, I've been on various dd wrt or Tomato setups for years and never had to ask a question, so please bear with me, I'm clearly desperate to ask this in public. Our current setup (and for the past 18...
