Since DoH is encrypted, there’s no single page that tests DoH for all providers. Each DoH provider has to provide a test page of their own.

Quad9 test: https://on.quad9.net/
OpenDNS test: https://umbrella.cisco.com/doh-help

Google does not seem to have a test page.

@warrenholt Please send a copy of your backup file to [email protected]. We’ll see if any settings is causing trouble on the ad block control page. Thanks!

DoH is already supported. On the Internet Settings page, check “Use custom DNS servers”, then check “Enable DNS over HTTPS (DOH)”. Select “Google Public DNS” for 8.8.8.8.

@warrenholt Can you try rebooting the router and see if it helps?

[support]

For now, you need to use the HTTP protocol for ad block control. We’ll add support for HTTPS later.

Currently, access controls are by device. It doesn’t matter which VLAN the device connects to. Adding VLAN into the mix will probably lead to confusions.

Thanks for you suggestion. We’ll see if this can be accommodated.

This port is used for “signaling” only, i.e., to tell the router to download new configuration from the server. UDP is safer because it’s not detectable by port scans.

It’s hard to say what’s going on here. Can you try a different device? If not, try a different Ethernet port or cable.

Yes, when you create multiple SSIDs they share the same channel. In fact they share the same radio signal. There’s no interference in this case, just the same radio signal is shared among different SSIDs. Even when you have only one SSID, your client devices have to share the same radio signal from the router.

The default is to bind to port 0, which means it will bind to a dynamic port. You may choose to bind to a specific port when the pcWRT router is behind another router and you need to set up port forwarding on the other router. BTW, it’s a UDP port.

When you lose connectivity, the computer tries to reconnect immediately and regains connectivity after a few seconds?

[support]

DNS lease time should not matter. It’s always been 12 hours and you didn’t have any problems before.

1. How often does this happen? Does it happen on a regular interval, e.g., every 12 hours?
2. Does it happen to other devices or only the Linux computer?
3. Does it happen to devices connected via WiFi?
