dns

I am trying to better configure my network and better utilize DNS. The more I try to do this, the more I think my thinking is a bit off with it. All my devices use a subnet mask of 255.255.252.0 My DHCP pool is 192.168.2.20-100 services hosted on 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x cameras on...

Hi All, I have an Asus ZenWifi XT8 router and can set the DNS servers. I've never done this before. Should I specify the DNS servers to be a little safer? If so, should I just use Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 or something else? Anything else I don't even know to ask? Thanks so much!

Today I had an issue with AdGuard where it was blocking queries for local domain hosts. When I checked the dashboard, I noticed many blocks for local queries and they all pointed to the EasyList list. AdGuard reported a block with rule ||o. So, I tried to open EasyList and see if it had...

Haven't found any answers to this out there, but is it possible to assign a custom DNS setting to a Guest network on the ZenWifi XT8 router? The only place I see where a custom DNS can be set is under the WAN setting, but this is global, meaning it affects all the networks. I don't see a...

nslookup whatever_domain random_ipv6_will_success with default local server(/etc/resolv.conf). Bad busybox, just return an error, at least a warning.

I have recently setup a RT-AX82U running the stock firmware. I have setup the router to use cloudflare for DNS and I would like to force all clients on the network to use the router’s DNS setting, regardless of any settings made on the client devices. Initially I created firewall rules to drop...

I have a DSL-AC68U which I want to configure (initially at least) without its DHCP server running but there seems to be no way to set the default gateway and the DNS server to use. I've set them in the DHCP Server settings but since the DHCP server isn't running I don't think the settings are...

I am not savvy enough to explain the issue properly, but since about 2 or 3 weeks ago - intermittently my pc connected via Ethernet cable through router or my phone connected to a wi-fi on my routers network, would lose connection to the internet. When this happens if I click on the Ethernet...

So I noticed that one of the latest updates has added a WAN selection pane which is very useful. However when I selection an option and hit 'Apply' it reconnects to my ISP but then just continues to use the ISP provided DNS servers on both the WAN overview & my devices. Any idea why this would...

I am currently using the XT-8 on the most recent firmware - they have an option to block access to Google DNS using the static route list - my question is how do I just block certain devices and not the entire network from using Google DNS, is it possible?

I'm curious if anyone have setup DOH3 or DOQ successfully on an ASUS Merlin router for DNS-queries? So far I haven't seen any solution/add-on to do it on router-level. Any thoughts/plans on adding it native in the future like DoT is today or as an add-on in AMTM? I read that some use the...

Question: If I set an OVPN client’s “Accept DNS configuration” settings to DISABLED … and set “Redirect Internet traffic through tunnel” to VPN Director (policy rules) … … will the DNS queries associated with those devices for which VPN director is set to enable use of the VPN client...

Devices: TUF-AX5400 / RT-AC66U B1 (AiMesh) Firmware: 3.0.0.4.386_48664 I have at least 3 pairs different DNS servers I usually use, instead of adding them manually every time I need to change them, I would like to add or modify some of the list that are currently hardcoded... Current...

OK sorry but I'm a bit green to this. I've got a DSL-68U (with Gnuton) and AC-68U hooked up fine. Mesh-config, wired together. My internet works via a second ethernet WAN - and I suspect this maybe causing my issue? (Good old Australian NBN over HFC doesn't require the 'modem'). Essentially I...

I'm using ExpressVPN on Linux. The Linux box is my router. I have a few related questions: 1. Is it more private to use ExpressVPN's DNS servers or to use well-known privacy-friendly servers? 2. Is this page still reliable? Alternative DNS - WikiLeaks 3. Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) gets good reviews...

I bought RT-AX56U upgraded to Merlin 365_2 (and later downgraded to 365 in case problem was due to newest firmware). It's a huge problem. Whenever I change the DNS in lan->dhcp server-> Enter DNS: Advertise router's IP in addition to user-specified DNS: No I loose access to the Web GUI...

So I keep receiving ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED intermittenly when going to some websites on my desktop on different web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). This happens wether I use an upstream DNS like Quad9 or my ISP's (I acutually switched ISP's recently and same issue). Eventually after about...

I'm using a RT-AX86U router with firmware version 386.5_2. I have a DDNS address that translates to both A and AAAA [not really] records. Therefore, I have IPv4 and IPv6 dynamically translated. # nslookup [ddns.name] Server: 127.0.0.1 Address 1: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain Name...

I have been looking around for info on what DNS providers use EDNS Client Subnet and stumbled onto this old article with an updated list (from last year) of who does and does not. Interestingly Akamai and Fastly, two of the biggest players in streaming content, only support ECS on Google and...

Hey all, I have a DNS problem with my AC86U when I use this with a VPN client. On my network I have an AppleTV that I want to be connected to a VPN. And it works flawlessly. However, Amazon Prime Video and a couple of other local streaming services in my country have blocked the use of VPN. To...
