I also did come across a DNS line that can be added to the copy/paste config for the VPN in the router: GitHub as it helps get some of the info straight. I highly recommend having a read of this page Policy based routing I do have a couple of gaming devices set to "WAN" to allow them to bypass the VPN to reduce ping when gaming. I also added a WAN entry for the router's IP at 192.168.1.1, and VPN entry for the whole network at 192.168.1.0/24 I am pretty sure though that if a device is using a VPN client (including the Nord one) that they will bypass the router DNS handling though I havent done any testing to confirm that is the case.įor setup, I just uploaded the config file, left pretty much everything else default, copied and pasted in the text as shown in the Nord Merlin setup page. Note that in DNS filtering I have the default set to "Router" (I had accidentally set this to OpenDNS Home and had no end of issues connecting devices!).įinally I have a TCP/UDP drop on port 53 setup so that devices cannot bypass OpenDNS by picking their own dns. Additionally I do have some DNS filtering setup a couple of devices that are set up to go through Nord's Smart DNS (specifically the smart tvs). I set DNS to "Disabled" and use OpenDNS in the WAN config. I have Nord setup on our AC-86U, working fine.
