If I’m not up to getting AdGuard working is it possible to use a second router say like a GL.iNet router and setup the DNS to use the GL.iNet router, I’ve done it before but not sure what happens when you use a VPN clienti found this to try latter "nvram erase"
I had figured that out already. I compared it with the first post and saw it was incorrect.@Bokkoman
were you having this same issue? if so, that explains why you couldn't get anything to work. the tar command needed a dash in the instructions provided by the post. If you want to retry, you might be able to get it to work.
It won't work because it is not designed to install adguardhome on busy box. It expects you to be running a full blown Linux setup like on an rpi. It attempts to install adguardhome accordingly. Besides if it were the easiest solution it would have been used in the tutorial.I had figured that out already. I compared it with the first post and saw it was incorrect.
Do you maybe have an idea to use the AdGuard auto installer? I think that would be the easiest solution. Except it is saying that curl isn't found out something.
That sounds interesting have you a link to the auto installer AdGuard is (my opinion) the best ad remover and I must say possibly the most user friendly of all, I did use pi hole for may years that is excellent but I did find it blocked a little too much I was disarming it for quite a lot of the times despite a massive whitelist.I had figured that out already.

The binary is a quote auto installer. Good luck finding a tutorial for using it on asuswrt merlin. Like it will help if the initial tutorial directions of this thread didn't. You might be able to get it to work on an rpi raspbian, Debian, Ubuntu, or archlinux install which is what the autoinstaller was intended for.That sounds interesting have you a link to the auto installer AdGuard is (my opinion) the best ad remover and I must say possibly the most user friendly of all, I did use pi hole for may years that is excellent but I did find it blocked a little too much I was disarming it for quite a lot of the times despite a massive whitelist.
Yeah that makes sense.It won't work because it is not designed to install adguardhome on busy box. It expects you to be running a full blown Linux setup like on an rpi. It attempts to install adguardhome accordingly. Besides if it were the easiest solution it would have been used in the tutorial.
#!/bin/sh
CONFIG=$1
source /usr/sbin/helper.sh
[ "$(pidof AdGuardHome)" ] && pc_append "port=553" $CONFIG && pc_append "local=/1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/" $CONFIG
The in-addr.arpa directive is the reverse router IP, so this line should read:I have no idea what to change. My routers IP is 192.168.2.1 and its name is RT-AC87U-1B60 I believe.
So what exactly do I have to change in the script below?
[ "$(pidof AdGuardHome)" ] && pc_append "port=553" $CONFIG && pc_append "local=/2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/" $CONFIG
EvenThe in-addr.arpa directive is the reverse router IP, so this line should read:
What is the router name you see?Code:[ "$(pidof AdGuardHome)" ] && pc_append "port=553" $CONFIG && pc_append "local=/2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/" $CONFIG
Also make sure you place the correct reverse addresses in your adguardhome as wellI finally got it running. Did a complete fresh install.
Though, I do not know what is meant in step 5.
The addresses in the above script need to match your router address and network.

Yes you should be able to use the router name. Or you could define a domain name on the lan dhcp page of your router and use that. For exampleThank you, that is what I thought and did.
In my Asus router the device name is set to default: RT-AC87U-1B60
Is that what you mean?
I set the domainname to lan. Is there something I need to change in that script now?Yes you should be able to use the router name. Or you could define a domain on the lan dhcp page of your router and use that. For example
lan
[ "$(pidof AdGuardHome)" ] && pc_append "port=553" $CONFIG && pc_append "local=/2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/" $CONFIG
Not here.I set the domainname to lan. Is there something I need to change in that script now?
Code:[ "$(pidof AdGuardHome)" ] && pc_append "port=553" $CONFIG && pc_append "local=/2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/" $CONFIG
is it this in the AdGuard Home DNS settings? At private reverse DNS?Not here.
[/2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/]192.168.2.1:553
[/RT-AC87U-1B60/]192.168.2.1:553
[/lan/]192.168.2.1:553
On adguard home the line that says some-domain. That is where you put lanI set the domainname to lan. Is there something I need to change in that script now?
Code:[ "$(pidof AdGuardHome)" ] && pc_append "port=553" $CONFIG && pc_append "local=/2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/" $CONFIG
Just load web pages. If you see less ads then it is workingis it this in the AdGuard Home DNS settings? At private reverse DNS?
Code:[/2.168.192.in-addr.arpa/]192.168.2.1:553 [/RT-AC87U-1B60/]192.168.2.1:553 [/lan/]192.168.2.1:553
Also, how do I know if Adguard is doing its job? Can I test it somehow? In the Dashboard I see stuff being blocked.
NoDo I need to modify the DNS setting in WAN or LAN in ASUS firmware so as to use the AdGuard?
