    Solved How to make Windows automatically use local IPv6 DNS?

    I realize this is a stupid question, this setting is for the router, not the device. Hello guys, I want to use IPv6 DoT server. According to the wiki, I need to specify IPv6 DNS as router's LAN IPv6 Link-Local Address. But it seems that Windows has abandoned local IPv6 DNS by default…...

    DNS with Instant Guard

    If you are using Instant Guard, while away from your home network, will your DNS requests use the DNS server specified in your routers LAN settings? The reason I ask is because I use PiHole on my home network, but I see a lot of ads when using Instant Guard. I am not seeing my phone in the...

    Custom IPTables Rules for DNS Redirect

    I want to add some rules into iptables so that my Google/Nest smart devices stop calling Google DNS directly, and the Google DNS calls they do are redirected to my AdGuard Home DNS server which will reply with the appropriate DNS records. I know I can probably use DNSFiltering, but want to...

    Why Router manufacturers do not implement DoH/DoT in firmware?

    I understand I can use merlin firmware for DoH/DoT, but just out of curiosity. It'll be a really nice security feature, which they can brag about. Its not like that they'll have to implement it from scratch, clients already exist. All they need to do is make sure it works with their firmware.

    What's the point of DoH/DoT

    I've been running Pihole with cloudflare doh proxy for sometime now. While it works ok, I've been considering ditching it for Asus-merlin built in dot with nextdns. But does DoH/DoT makes any difference. My ISP can still see the IPs i am communicating with and can do reverse dns lookup to see...
