I think I may have to reset my router because I have been having issues which I thought the update fixed (Latest beta ) but it seems to have made things worse. I turned off the firewall but to no effect and it was not like this before this update/2022/08-15-2022-r49741.

I have having issues with my DDWRT router at the moment though because when I use a torrent client, I am unable to browse websites and cannot understand why. I did try Quad9 which seems to work faster but adguard has a better privacy policy although it does not matter since we both on VPN. Edit GUI windows in vi/emacs/whatever on a linux computer: įollowed your advice and used Adguard.Multiple DNSCrypt providers using latest list.The dd-wrt menu was taken from that master list some months ago and should still match it pretty well.Ĥ Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 routers on 49081, 2 on 48141: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, client mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), DDNS, wireguard servers and clients (AzireVPN), three DNSCrypt DNS providers (incl Quad9) via VPN clients. To wade through the choices on your own, see and look for the master provider list.

The AdGuard system is worth a look as well, but in my testing they were slower, I believe because they send queries (anonymously) to google DNS and maybe cloudflare DNS and others and then filter out malware and adware domains before forwarding the responses to you. They log the metro area you are in, but not your IP, but you and I both access DNS via a VPN, so who cares what location they record? And note that in output, you can recognize their servers as those with ISP listed as WoodyNet. Just as the last time I went through that exercise, I ended up settling on Quad9. Those were my personal criteria when I reviewed my choices last week. If you are using the dd-wrt DNSCrypt encryption, however, there are only a few providers in the menu that satisfy (1) are in the US or Europe, (2) are substantial organizations with many DNS servers, (3) support DNSSEC, (4) have no (or minimal) logging, (5) filter out known malware domains, (6) do NOT use the EDNS (are those the right initials?) system to send part of your IP upstream, and (7) are quite fast. There are a million opinions on what DNS system to use. You need to be able to look at its display and known from what you see whether you are seeing the DNS servers you want to see or the ones your ISP provides. It won't announce "protected!" or not, because it's not aimed at beginners. The de facto standard DNS test in this community is at.

Those lesser-known sites that purport to check for protection generally are put up by VPN firms that tell you that you have no protection unless you are using their VPN.
