How to use CleanBrowsing on the pcWRT: https://www.pcwrt.com/2020/10/using-cleanbrowsing-on-the-pcwrt-router/

It should still work when wired to the pcWRT.

The ability to extend wirelessly is a function of the extender. It doesn’t not require any change on the pcWRT. You need to check the docs for the Airport and see if it supports running as a WiFi extender.

@alfredosc8 Can you send a screenshot of the log in page for each and send to [email protected]?

@casino Update to v2.2.2, should have this fixed.

[support]

@casino Found the cause, will release an update soon.

@casino You can disable ad blocking for all profiles, and it’ll never be activated.

[support]

@casino I cannot recreate your scenario. Everything worked as expected when I tested it. You may try to open a command line window and enter “nslookup doubleclick.net” to see what the output is.

[support]

@casino The controls in the Ad block Control page override the settings in the profile. The default ad blocking state for devices in a profile with ad blocking disabled is “no ad blocking”. But you can activate ad blocking on the “Ad block Control” page for each device.

How to enable DNS over HTTPS on the router: https://www.pcwrt.com/2020/10/how-to-enable-dns-over-https-on-the-pcwrt-router/. Once you switch over to DoH on the Internet Settings page, the Access Control functions will also use DoH for the service providers that support DoH.

[support]

@casino You enter your CleanBrowsing API key on the router and the router will bring your CleanBrowsing profiles to the list of available DNS services. You can choose your CleanBrowsing profile from the dropdown. Without the integration, you’ll have to enter the DNS IP addresses manually by selecting “custom”.

If you enable DNS over HTTPS on the router, then the router will send the DNS queries using your individualized DoH URL for CleanBrowsing. This is more secure and more accurate than the normal DNS queries over UDP, especially when your Internet connection is behind Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT).

You still need to log on the CleanBrowsing web site to control the filtering categories for each of your profiles.

[support]

Since it’s not possible to determine HTTPS URL paths without decrypting the connection, the router blocks the whole domain.

[support]

You can’t disable the ports for now. But there’s a workaround: assign the ports you want to disable to a VLAN you don’t use (for example, X3). Then, enable the VLAN for a VPN client connection but don’t actually start the VPN connection.

[support]

Yes you can. Name the bands differently gives you more control, but naming them the same is more convenient.

[support]

The v1.20 image is pretty old. Your hardware probably doesn’t have enough space to hold the new firmware image.

[support]

@casino It won’t be in the next update. But we’ll keep this in mind.
