    How to make dnsmasq startup wait for USB mount?

    I run dnsmasq on my DSL-AC68U (running the Gnuton variant) with a large blacklist file that is on a USB memory stick. A recent (fairly short, half a minute or so) power failure seems to have provoked an odd problem with dnsmasq failing to see when the USB mounts after power up, but when I did...

    Solved How to bypass standard DNS servers for one domain and all subdomains

    After looking through the forum, I think I need to use dnsmasq.postconf to accomplish my goal, but I don't know how. PROBLEM: I use NordVPN's SmartDNS service to stream while traveling; however, they can't resolve one domain I need to use. I have a list of the URLs and IP addresses using the...

    RT-AX86U - Dnsmasq stops resolving DNS addresses

    Hi All, For some time now once or twice a week my RT-AX86U with up-to-date stock firmware (3.0.0.4.388_22525) will stop resolving DNS. All active connections will continue to work but if I want to connect to a new location DNS won't resolve to an address. I have traced the issue to Dnsmasq and...

    Repeater mode + DNS

    Hi, After many attempts, I concluded that probably the nature of repeater mode doesn't allow to set custom DNS on Asus Merlin, perhaps I'm wrong and you guys can give me some hand/workaround. This is my last try. Goal: Set DNS for NEXTDNS / Also their install script does not work on repeater...

    Solved How to check the DNS IP address pushed by the OpenVPN?

    I'm writing a custom script about running a second instance of dnsmasq, and I want the second instance to use the default DNS server provided by the OVPN client, but because OVPN provider assigns a new DNS IP address every time it starts up, So I'm wondering where I can check that IP address...

    Diversion Diversion (not) blocking local domains

    I have noticed some peculiar behaviour which (due to lack of knowledge probably) I wasn't able to explain. While trying to find a problem with dnsmasq's DNS query replies for local domain names (separate story), I was using Diversion to follow the dnsmasq.log with filtering to client's IP...

    Local DNS resolve via dnsmasq fails in 386.9 for LAN clients

    Hi, encountering really odd DNS issue after dirty-installing 386.9 fw (upgrade from 386.7-2). On the previous versions of firmware, I was using /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add for local network name resolution in the form of address=/[server.domain]/[ip]. The domain itself is .home, so...

    Is there a way to set DNS-server priority in Dnsmasq when using DoT?!

    I have setup the two NextDNS servers under WAN with DNS-over-TLS. If looking at "/etc/resolv.conf" it now points to localhost with the entry "nameserver 127.0.0.1". All good so far and it seems to be using Round Robin. I then tried adding these two lines in "dnsmasq.postconf" and with the...

    DHCP leases and connected clients

    Sometimes I check how many leases DHCP has issued using this command. cat /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases | wc -l That doesn't really tell me if those clients are connected or not. So, to check how many connected clients I have, I try this: arp -a | awk '$4!="<incomplete>"' | wc -l The thing is...

    Pihole DNS

    Hi, I have set an Ubuntu machine to run pihole and it's been working great. But, I see that if I set the pihole IP address under LAN DHCP section, it bypasses the some rules I have in order to force SafeSearch on Google and Bing. The way I have pihole IP address now is under the DNSFilter...
