![]() Could anyone please tell me what I should do to sort this out? When I enable SmartDNS Resolver, Encrypt DNS is disabled by itself after I save. Posted: Sun 23:51 Post subject: SmartDNS Resolver I have never torrented and know nothing about it, not even basics. I am connected using WAN the router, main router is 192.168.1.1 and DDWRT is 192.168.2.1, using RJ45 to connect. I must add that Tomato firmware which I am currently using works like a charm but I prefer DDWRT which requires time. 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/etc in linux: įollowed your advice and used Adguard.Multiple DNSCrypt providers from latest list.The dd-wrt menu was taken from that master list some months ago and should still match it pretty well.Ģx Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN. 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. We just do it since we do not like any restrictions enforced by stupid cocaine snorting managers ![]() I am aware Cisco log but I was not worried because I connect using a VPN and seems to be the only provider who when I do a DNS Leak test here shows my DNS as protected, the rest do not.Ĭan anyone help and what provider should I choose so when I do a DNS test it shows my DNS queries are protected? I was looking at the logs and noticed this warning which I am aware of because I was using Cisco as my DNSCrypt Resolver -ĭD-WRT 2 user.warn : - logs your activity - a different provider might be better a choice if privacy is a concern I also use a VPN and all my connection goes through a VPN. I use DNSCrypt Resolver and have been using Cisco. Posted: Wed 13:09 Post subject: DDWRT DNSCrypt Resolver
