Re: v7.16.1 [stable] is released!

I was able to upgrade my MikroTik RB5009 and hAP ax^2 without any problems, but have some issues with my CRS310. I was able to upgrade / reboot the packages without any issues, but when I did the upgrade of the firmware the switch got stuck during the reboot and the fan was running at 100%. I waite...

Re: DNS Multiple entrys

oh, right, I didn't think about the adlist. clearly if you tell devices to ask directly to the external DNS it didn't use the adlist rules.

[FEATURE REQUEST] Adding useful infos in Winbox under Wi-Fi Registration list

Hi, I did a bit of research and didn't find anything freshly related to this topic. The request is quite simple: it would be nice if it would be easy to identify devices connected to the wifi. I would like to have a column called "device name" where the relative value could be just taken f...

Re: DNS Multiple entrys

happy to help, let me know if it works as expected im running the adlist on the mikrotik not a container anymore I was just wondering why you "downgraded" to the adlist. isn't it more difficult to use and with less configurations capabilities? I use Pihole (both with a raspberry and a cont...

Re: DNS Multiple entrys

according to my understanding and the way I use successfully those configs, the IP->DNS sections is ment to tell devises what are the servers to use for "local" names resolving. In fact if I remember correctly it's configured out of the box with just the router's IP (eg: 192.168.1.1). The ...
