DNS over TLS/Https

[Teppka]

I'm not yet ready to transition to Merlin which I know does support it. I wander if there is any info on if future Asuswrt will support it or a way to have RT-AX86U support (cloudflare) DNS over TLS or HTTPS.

Thanks

The only way you're going to get this kind of support w/ OEM/stock firmware (assuming it isn't there now) is to have some other local device that does support it serve as a proxy (e.g., pihole), then reconfigure DNS on the ASUS w/ the LAN ip of that device rather than public DNS servers.

Short of that, DoT/DoH support has to be built into the firmware since it involves encryption, which is NOT a part of standard DNS. And why Merlin is such a popular alternative.
