So Iām not alone to have problem with AdguardHome on Flint 2 4.8.2.
DOH and DOT stopped working.
I get these king of log:
Sat Sep 6 09:29:38 2025 user.notice AdGuardHome[14168]: 2025/09/06 09:29:38.604858 Failed to get connection: netlink receive: numerical result out of range
Sat Sep 6 09:29:38 2025 kern.warn kernel: [54906.907666] netlink: 'AdGuardHome': attribute type 1 has an invalid length.
We've tried to replicate the issue by upgrading a Flint 2 from firmware 4.7.7 to 4.8.2 with AdGuard Home configured/enabled, enable preserving configurations while upgrade, and we weren't able to reproduce it on our end.
The error message suggests that AdGuard Home is running into a problem.
To help us investigate this further, could you please share the specific configuration details for your AdGuard Home setup?
This will help us narrow down what might be causing the issue on device.
Indeed, Adguard keeps handling āunsecuredā request received from LAN and Guest networks. Though encrypted DNS requests that comes from WAN (since I use a letsencrypt certificate) donāt suit anymore to android smartphones or web browsers.
I have some intermittent issue with DNS as well that started to happen around when I upgraded to this firmware. Rolling back with keeping the settings causes Internet to shut down completely. Upgrading again causes it to work. The issue I am experiencing is on Android, Windows Desktop and iOS. Browser throws a DNS error. When I retry a couple of times it's able to retrieve it.
Can GL-iNet create an script to export all settings (except the passwords/credentials) and then the user send it to the Support Team, that can load all settings to try to reproduce the issue?
Iām also having sporadic issues accessing the Internet after upgrading, and Iām running AdGuard with a few custom filters added and no other changes. I disabled the āAdGuard Home Handle Client Requestsā feature and it seems to make a big difference for me.
Weāve been able to reproduce the issue on our side and confirmed that it happens when AdGuard Home is used as a DoH/DoT server.
Our R&D team has already been informed and will be looking into it further.
First of all thank you, that's fantastic news. What about the inability to roll back (with settings)? This is a massive risk. If that can't be fixed I won't be updating my firmware anytime soon after this release. I need to be able to roll back my firmware if there are critical bugs that make it into prod
You can linger update AdGuard Home any more on the new firmwares across the board also AdGuard Home is no longer in the AdGuard Directory Flint 2 & 3 going to try my GL-AXT1800 Slate AX as well i bet its the same also Specified Domain / IP List no longer works.
You can update AdGuard Home, from the GUI, on the Flint devices at least. You just need to remove a small piece of config from /etc/init.d/adguardhome file.
I had a similar issue when updating the device FW to 4.8.2, via the GUI although bizarrely, it looked to be just my TP-Link mesh APs that had dropped connection, despite picking up IP addresses. All wired devices āseemedā to work as expected.
Anyway, I used WinSCP to replace the AdGuard Home files (the files that are usually backed up had disappeared!). Then, and this was the important part, remove the config.yaml file from the device (/etc/AdGuardHome), start the service via the GUI and run through the initial OOTB set up. Once itās working, turn off the service again and copy the original config.yaml file back across to the device. Start the service up once more and it was now working as normal.
Our development team is still actively investigating and working on a fix for this issue.
In the meantime, if you would like to continue using firmware 4.8.2 with AdGuard Home, you can try a workaround.
Please try disabling the Encryption (HTTPS/QUIC/TLS) configuration in AdGuard Home and switch your client devices back to the original UDP DNS instead.
