DNSMasq on Asus RT-N66

[Ramasjang]

Hi

Im using tunlr and would like to set it up with DNSMasq in my router running Asuswrt-Merlin.

I found this post in tunlr forum but I don't have the know how to set it up through terminal on my Mac.

I am able to telnet to my router but I am no familiar with the commands and tools to navigate and create and edit files within terminal.

Would any be kind to help me through it, also is there anything I need to setup on the router?

"Hi,

Quick tutorial to save you all the trouble. To route traffic through tunlr (Pandora, Netflix, etc) on your ASUS router RT-N56U do the following:
1. Telnet into your router
2. Create the file addtunlr at /tmp/mnt/sda1/asusware with touch
3. edit with VI and paste:
#!/bin/sh
DNS1=”192.95.16.109″
DNS2=”69.197.169.9″

echo “server=/netflix.com/$DNS1″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/netflix.com/$DNS2″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/pandora.com/$DNS2″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/pandora.com/$DNS1″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/hulu.com/$DNS1″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/hulu.com/$DNS2″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/last.fm/$DNS2″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/last.fm/$DNS1″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/vevo.com/$DNS1″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/vevo.com/$DNS2″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/bbc.co.uk/$DNS2″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/bbc.co.uk/$DNS1″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/itv.com/$DNS2″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo “server=/itv.com/$DNS1″ >> /tmp/etc/dnsmasq.conf
killall dnsmasq
dnsmasq -c 1500 –log-async -n
4. chmod +x addtunlr
5. edit .asusrouter with VI
6. add at the bottom of the file:
/tmp/mnt/sda1/asusware/addtunlr

If the IPs change, edit the file and change the variables at the top, type reboot and you are good to go."

Hi.

Please, follow this manual, there is just a couple of terminal commands.

The DNS IP's can be obtained via Tunlr API, so no edition is needed.

Thank you so much...

I ran you script, but seems like me router still uses tunlr DNS under DNS1 and DNS2, under WAN DNS Setting: Connect to DNS Server automatically in the GUI.

After I ran your script I changed DNS1 and DNS2 to blank then i chose Apply.

The I changed the WAN DNS Setting: Connect to DNS Server automatically to yes.

Is this correct?

Is still pass the status test on tunlr.net website, is that because of your script or because Im still running with there IP as DNS1 & 2?

Thanks

I am having trouble with Netflix.

I was reading that is because Sony/Netflix are getting ready to test hard coded Google DNS directly into their apps.

In this forum thread a guy mentions the a solution to iptables rule to drop 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 53 traffic.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Will you please update you script so it works with Tunlr Gatekeper2?

The first Tunlr DNS IP address is 69.197.169.9
The second Tunlr DNS IP address is 192.95.16.109

Thanks

Will sit on this for awhile. They said no free accounts any more.

A free accounts is still active, but it's bandwidth is not suffice to play Pandora's streams. Even pandora.com loads painfully slow.

Does anyone know any alternatives to Tunlr? IMHO, DNS-based solutions is a best one. The Media Hint helps me for awhile, but it's just a Firefox plugin.

If you have an old router with ddwrt + a vpn account with any provider, + your asus, you can follow this: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=13797

I had an unblockus account and it was terrible for me (roku suport was very bad). You can find vpn provider for less than unblockus and like any of those services, the setup will send only specific traffic to authenticate yourself and after, your movies, music, etc will stream directly to your IP and not by your VPN.

Hi ryzhov_al


Thanks for keeping this great script alive, pandora works fine at my end from all iOS devices...

Hope you keep it alive.

Will you please update the DNS in your script?

Tunlr has gone.

As for me, I'm using proxy.pac file with US-based http-proxy to listen pandora.com via browser.

Unlocator is still free in the beta stage. Is it possible to update the script?

Thanks

Unlocator is still free in the beta stage. Is it possible to update the script?

IMHO, no sense:

At the moment we are in the BETA stage of the product, and the service is FREE to use. Once we leave the beta, the Unlocator service will cost $4.95 pr. month. (27 DKK pr. måned)
