Setting LAN DNS


Recommended Posts

Having an issue when setting LAN DNS for DHCP to my local PiHole server. I selected Disabled for Automatic DNS, set primary to what I want, have tried leaving secondary blank as well as inserting 0.0.0.0. Have also done a soft reboot and hard reboot. Devices on network still get the Netduma address as DNS.

Yes.  Problem is not with the PiHole or DNS.  Issue is with the DHCP Server setup on the NetDuma.  When I move DHCP to the PiHole or say a WAP or whatever it works fine.  The NetDuma will not hand out anything but 192.168.88.1 as the DNS server even after setting multiple different things under the LAN settings.  So for now I disabled DHCP on the Duma and moved it to a different device.  Not sure why the Duma DHCP server will not had out any manually set DNS in LAN settings.  I tried PiHole, Google, OpenDNS with just primary and with primary/secondary and it still hands out .1 as DNS server.

Giving out 192.168.88.1 as the dns server is ok.  What the console is doing is sending a dns request to the router and the router is sending the request on to the dns resolver beit google dns or opendns or your ips dns.  If you don't won't your device to say 192.168.88.1 under dns then you need change dns from automatic to manual on you console. Then the console with bypass the router make requests directly to google dns/opendns etc.
