Can GL-iNet routers do some of the access control stuff that pcWRT routers can do? Particularly block lists that can block domain names, partial domain names and IP addresses.
Are device profiles possible? Something being considered?
Not needing parental controls, I mainly want to be able to block known bad, malicious, spammy etc domains/tlds.
Just trying to wrap my head around how to block stuff. And if it is possible with access control and the firewall etc. I am just an average privacy enthusiast not a network ninja.
If you get a model that supports adguard then you can create client profiles inside adguard and restrict on a per device basis or you can do global block actions.
Im using Adguard Home with Flint 2 and Marble 3000. Its quite easy to do what you want if AGH is supported. I also mainly use Hagezi's list (which also have a spam tlds list).
I should have mentioned that I do not want to use Adguard Home because that means I cannot use Encrypted DNS (DoH) (as far as I understand it anyway), which is a must for me.
I was kinda hoping for a solution where I can set the router to use encrypted DNS/DoH AND be able to have block lists to block domains and TLDS etc like pcWRT seems to be able to do. Router DNS and blocking seem to be independent/separate with pcWRTs Access Control/blocking as far as I can tell.
But is it just Adguard DoH? Or can I still choose whatever DoH provider/server I want in the Encrypted DNS settings section with Adguard enabled? Or will all DNS go through Adguard DNS?
Like can I have Adguard Home enabled AND be using Cloudflare or NextDNS or Mullvad DoH?
Ok. Thanks for helping. Sorry I am very new to all this.
I am a little confused...when you say AGH are referring to AdGuard Home which is available in router settings under Applications. And you are saying that AdGuard Home and AdGuard are separate things?
I enabled it and got a dashboard with stats. Then I clicked this below to go to the Settings page.
So in there somewhere I can set DoH? And that will be equivalent to setting Encrypted DNS in the router DNS settings section, and all my devices on my network will use that DNS?
Just want to confirm...will be it equivalent/the same as setting up Encrypted DNS in the GL UI/router DNS settings section? And all my devices on my network will (in most cases) use that DNS?
I basically understand what setting up encrypted DNS/DoH on my router means, I just want to be sure using DoH in AGH instead is basically the same.
If I use AGH I can get encrypted DNS/DoH on my router/for my network AND all the ad etc blocking that AHG can do, is that correct?
Does anyone know if it's possible to have also the "Internet Logs" from "Access Control" of pcWRT?
that is showing every single IP / URL that devices try to connect to and it seems to be very deep and useful feature.
