Ok so I have a question, Ive noticed that some of my devices will loose internet but be connected to the router if anything goes haywire with DNSCrypt Resolver?
Right now Im using Adguard DNS 1, but If I switch it to Adguard DNS 2 I loose internet on a number of devices.
As I understand this DNSCrypt Resolver is only on high end routers with a lot of resources. My AC5300 on r46329 can do it but why if I switch the DNS server I loose connection? Also Ive noticed that I also loose connection after some updates to DDWRT when I don't reset settings, but this setting is the culprit. I'm using DNSCrypt Resolver for security. I dont have this code in my start up command
dnscrypt-proxy -a 127.0.0.53:5353 -R cs-dk -L /etc/dnscrypt/dnscrypt-resolvers.csv
DO I need that? As I said its working but only on adguard DNS 1 server why?
Also I have a custom script to block ads, is using DNSCrypt Resolver problematic with that? Or will they play nice, or do I not really need the adblocker script because adguard DNS blocks ads also?

I found that topic right after I posted. it does explain why adguard DNS 2 does not work but I still wonder about the adblock and adguard DNS working together. Any clue?
Also using the script seems way more complicated. Whenever I add more complication I end up with more headaches, plus I dont even understand all the terminology used in the script so I cant alter it to fit my needs, i'm just to noob for it i guess lol.
I also love how the original posters question about broken name resolution was completely lost in the conversation. I also have this issue and wonder if there is a fix or if its just an adguard DNS 1 server issue?
Update: name resolution is an adguard DNS server issue. Still no clue about adblocking though, does adguard DNS do some DNS adblocking also? and does this interfere with other adblocking methods?

adblocking is a real pain in the ass, as it never block the stuff, the way you want...
i guess those advertised as a adblocking DNS's are not different, than the local adblocking you can do...via script..all they do is, domain name list blocking...
Nowadays,to filter some stuff, you can use ad-blocker + ipset/iptables/dnsmasq rules on the router side...(it does work)...while some ppl, believe raspberry Pi does better ad- blocking...and they use it instead...
as far as, running a DNS that does adblocking and ad blocker on your local side, it wont make any difference...(i use that kind of combination)...it does filter some stuff, but not all of it...some youtube stuff remains..
there are also more sophisticated ad-blockers, that do better job, but require more fiddling...
do a google search ad-block ddwrt, many of those available...

Yeah Ive read that topic. I use tweakradje method in the first post. I use that along with Adguard DNS which does block some and yes youtube ads get through my setup but thats about it.
