RS700S new v1.0.11.6 DNS issue
After upgrading to version 1.0.11.6, my RS700S ignore my local AdGuard Home DNS response for blocking Ads. However, reverting to version 1.0.10.8 restored the functionality of my local AdGuard Ho...
I would like to understand how you determined that updating the firmware caused the RS700 to ignore the custom DNS settings.
(since apparently going back to the previous firmware restored the expected behavior, it appears unlikely that the custom DNS settings disappeared from the setup page.)
The function that I use with AdGuard Home is filtering advertisement domain name. The in-app ads will "gone" since the DNS response is 0.0.0.0 for these domain name. (I have turned off Private Relay function in iPhone to achieve DNS request visible to the router then to the AdGuard Home for DNS filtering)
The custom DNS settings doesn't disappeared from the setup page. The external DNS (AdGuard Home) logged blocking either in previous or latest firmware. However, in-apps ads pop up for all my family devices after upgrade to the latest firmware.
As a programmer, I have tried to compare the difference using git between GPL source code v1.0.10.8 and v1.0.11.6, and no idea why at this moment.
I will give a try on full factory reset and just test for custom DNS settings later as FURRYe38 suggested.
Thank you.
