FAQ

Can I block ads with this firmware?

Yes! Open /etc/config/dnscrypt-proxy with nano or vim and change option resolver 'fvz-anyone' to option resolver 'default.ns1.adguard.com'. Then restart DNSCrypt with service dnscrypt-proxy restart.

Do you offer any quality assurance?

Sort of. I push releases manually after testing the builds on my own C7, which prevents major issues with the releases you can find here. The nightly builds are untested!

My clients are unable to connect to the internet after flashing this firmware!

Just reboot your router once and it should work. If it still doesn't work, make sure that dnscrypt-proxy is enabled and working. SSH to your router and do service dnscrypt-proxy enable; service dnscrypt-proxy restart.

Can I get this firmware even faster?

Yes. If you don't use PPPoE or another tunneling protocol, you can remove the line option mtu_fix 1 in /etc/config/firewall to squeeze out another 20-30Mbps.
