SSH into Router - root@GL-MT6000:~# cat /tmp/dnsmasq.d.wgclient1/via_domain
nftset=/Hidden.xyz/4#inet#vpn_table#dst_net7845
root@GL-MT6000:~#

Accoring to online research "nftset=/Hidden.xyz/4#inet#vpn_table#dst_net7845" is why its failing
and it should nbe this "ipset=/Hidden.xyz/vpn

Im running the latest stable build 4.8

DNSMASQ 2.85 is install and doesnt support nftset directives and accoring to sources online I need to update to 2.87 or higher but its not avaliable without going to full openwrt

Hi

It looks like you met some issues while you're using a strategy VPN and have added some domains.

Could you please provide your current specific firmware version?
You can find this information by going to System > Upgrade in your router's admin panel.

We've tested this on a MT6000 running firmware version 4.8.2 but were unable to reproduce the issue on our end.

  • Version4.8.2

Thank you for confirming your firmware version.

Since we were unable to reproduce the issue on our end, the problem may be specific to your device's configuration.

To help us investigate this further, could you please connect your MT6000 to GoodCloud and share it with us?
This will allow our team to conduct a remote inspection and diagnose the issue directly.
