    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    I committed the cardinal sin of updating my RT-AC68U's firmware (to 386.4) without backing up the configuration. (I do have a backup, but it's a few months old, and I'd rather just roll-forward with a fix than roll-back.) I only noticed and learned about the VPN Director after seeing my...
