    SSID for VPN - Does not use VPN's DNS

    Hello, I've spent a couple of hours searching through posts for an answer to this, but can't quite find the answer. I use expressvpn and set up a client on my router (RT-AC68U). I set the 'Accept DNS' setting to 'Exclusive' then setup a policy rule to have one device use the VPN Client. This...

    Dual Stack (IPv6): DNS for IPv6 is not my AC88U

    Hi, I figured out that in my dual-stack environment my Clients get for IPv4 my router's DNS IP but for IPv6 my Client's get the Providers DNS. My expectation would be to also get the router's IPv6 (the local one) for DNS. :/ I Use DHCP-PD and it works so far. Also I set up DoT on WAN settings...

    Dynamic DNS for Secondary WAN?

    Hi. I have setup Dual WAN as failover and I am using Asus DDNS on my router. When my Primary WAN is up, I can easily connect to my router remotely through the DDNS. But when Primary WAN is down and Secondary WAN is up, DDNS does not work. Shouldn't it automatically update the IP? Is there...

    DNS Settings in router

    Sorry if this has been answered already, but I couldn't find it searching.... I have a simple home setup: ASUS RT-AC66U_B1 (connected to a DSL modem) with a LAN IP of 192.168.1.1. My question is about DNS IP settings. On the WAN side, I point to Open DNS (208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220)...

    Running Cloudflare DNS via WAN settings. Seems to be working fine except the Cloudflare DNS checker tool shows DNSSEC and certificate TLS works, however Secure DNS and Encrypted SNI is not. Does anyone know if this is supported in the firmware and if possible how to get it working? It's a...

    Bypass Android DNS with DNSFilter whilst using a VPN and Diversion

    As per the title, I am wondering whether this is actually possible. I have a VPN running on Client 1 using policy routing and have set 'accept DNS configuration' to disabled, as I would like to run Diversion also. Under WAN settings, I am using DoT to cloudflare. DNSFilter is set to Router...

    DNS error

    Hi, I configured my Asus router to connect to my Bell HH3000 router in PPPoE. Like DNS I specified 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Often times I have DNS errors, and it can't find the websites. I don't have these errors when I am connected directly to the HH3000. Normally, I am connected in 5GHz. What...

    Network flooded by dns.msftncsi.com requests

    Hi! Every 15 seconds the router sends a request to dns.msftncsi.com and is flooding the network. I found a setting in the router GUI. Ticking "DNS query" makes it visible, it doesn't affect the frequency of the request tho: What is the purpose of these requests and how can I decrease the...

    Can I block fanhattan.com?

    I get dozens of these messages in my AC68U router log every day. I don't really understand what they mean. Is there a router setting I can apply to block this entire domain or at least these sites from screwing with my DNS? Dec 20 00:45:10 dnsmasq[206]: possible DNS-rebind attack detected...

    Routing issue with specific webpages

    Hi, I have an Asus RT-AC68U with Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 I was struggling with a webpage (hvg.hu) as it was loading quite slowly on my android tablet, so I started to play with some DNS settings (changed to Google DNS 8.8.8.8, enabled DNS rebind protection, DNSSEC support, etc). This solved the...

    Add port number to DNS?

    Does anyone know how to include the port number when filling in these 2 DNS fields? And if I do include the port numbers, will it actually make use of the port number I add, rather than still defaulting to port 53?

    OpenVPN client when ISP disallows third party DNS servers

    I have run into something I have really no idea how to solve. I am currently in Indonesia and wanted to put a VPN client to Express VPN on my router, an ASUS RT-AC86U flashed with Asuswrt-Merlin. The problem is, the Indonesian ISP does not allow you to use any other DNS server than their own...
