Hi, I got a new router from my ISP, but it doesn’t even have an option to change the address of the DNS server…

So I’m gonna switch (if necessary also the ISP).

I have never used a custom router, so I would appreciate a push in the right direction. What can you recommend? Synology? FritzBox? Asus? Bridge Mode on the ISP router + RasPi?

The following I am running on a separate device, but if possible it would be nice to have it directly on the router device:

  • PiHole
  • Wireguard
  • DDNS updater
  • towerful@programming.devEnglish

    All ill say is ROS script is a huge PITA.
    So, making a script that takes an object of vlan/port assignments, and running the required commands to ensure the config of the mikrotik matches the declared vlan/port assignments.

    The besy way ive seen to build/manage them is to use a compile step to go from some sane declarative config in order to build the actual ROS script to make the changes.
    I just havent got round to making that a thing.

    I hope they are working on a native python API, so i can script in a sane language, and run it directly on the mikrotik.

    Config files are easy to import/export/edit/read, tho.
    It does mean you have to reset to default when you update a config file (or configure the device live, then export the config)
