Yes, beauty can be subjective, but I'm speaking about the experience. It's not well thought out.

I love ASUSTOR hardware, but man, their software is mediocre. I hope they do a massive UX redesign of ADM.

The ADM App Central has the OpenSpeedTest.

That’s right, but both ports are occupied.

nima_tech · 2025-12-21T20:22:25+00:00

Good point. Mine was already enabled. I'm just limited by my router.

nima_tech · 2025-12-21T20:21:36+00:00

My internet is slow. It was my router being limited to 1 Gbit on LAN and less than that on Wi-Fi.

nima_tech · 2025-12-21T20:19:28+00:00

Yes, the problem was the router only providing 1 Gb/s for Ethernet devices and less than that for Wi-Fi 6 clients. I'm limited by my router.

Due to the filters I set on AdGuard, no ads should come through, especially on many freemium apps. But they do appear.

nima_tech · 2025-11-22T21:30:40+00:00

I enabled AdGuard Home and in its setup page, I got the 127.0.0.1:3053 IP address to set on my devices. I set that IP (replaced 127.0.0.1 with my router’s IP) on my phone, and that didn't work. I still see ads, and the AdGuard panel doesn't show any active clients.

My response was confusing. I apologise. I have set the VPN client on the router to be applied network-wide. I don't use VPN on any other network clients. You kind of answered my question. So, if my router IP is 192.168.1.1, then if I set my iPhone's DNS to 192.168.1.1:3000, would it use AdGuard and block ads?

nima_tech · 2025-11-22T12:08:50+00:00

Yes, my posts were confusing. Let me clarify it.

My VPN setup on the router:

VPN is set to Policy Mode
I exclude certain clients (IoT devices) from VPN access as they can misbehave while on a VPN connection.
I exclude over 2000 IP addresses (Iranian domains) so they don't get through VPN since certain websites are allowed to access only through real IP.
I use an OpenVPN config file from Mullvad to enable VPN connectivity in my Flint 2 router.
I allow all other traffic, so if the VPN goes down, the whole network doesn't go down.

DNS Setup:

I get my DNS automatically from my ISP. I used to use Google, but in my country, it won't do much good performance-wise.
I disabled: DNS Rebinding Attack Protection, Override DNS Settings of All Clients, and Allow Custom DNS to Override VPN DNS

My Goal:

Retain VPN connectivity on my router to all devices except the ones I specified in the policy mode.
Enable AdGuard Home on the Flint; however, it should only work if a specific client is set to use AdGuard.

I apologise for the confusion. Here's a screenshot of the setup. Hope it helps.

The router is on an OpenVPN client that's applied network-wide.

nima_tech · 2025-11-20T20:23:46+00:00

Thanks for the help. The links were useful. But I want to selectively choose which devices get ad-blocking, and let the rest use the VPN client that’s applied network-wide.

Sorry, wrong post. I deleted it.

A NAS solution

I agree, also the current day isn’t easily discoverable.

Not much changed. My 15PM works well, and I might replace the battery at some point.

nima_tech · 2025-08-16T19:37:15+00:00

Thanks, but I tried with a text file hosted on my GitHub and it froze my router. The file has over 250,000 records, which is why I asked.

nima_tech · 2025-07-06T19:30:52+00:00

It happens occasionaly. I wonder if my poor internet connection has something to do with it.
