    WAN DNS vs LAN DNS

    I set up a Pi-hole in my home network and I just want to know where to put my Pi-hole's IP - should it be in my LAN DNS or in the WAN DNS of my router? If on the LAN, what should be then on my WAN DNS? And vice-versa, if it should be on my WAN DNS, what should be on my LAN DNS?

    DNS redirect to local DNS server

    Hi! Some of my devices use an hard-coded DNS server, i.e. 8.8.8.8. I like to re-direct this DNS traffic to my local unbound DNS server by using the firewall script of my AC86 router. I use the following IPTABLES commands. The rule is added correctly to iptables. Are these rules correct and how...

    DNS: time of maximum confusion (AC86U)

    Dual Stack (IPv6): DNS for IPv6 is not my AC88U

    Hi, I figured out that in my dual-stack environment my Clients get for IPv4 my router's DNS IP but for IPv6 my Client's get the Providers DNS. My expectation would be to also get the router's IPv6 (the local one) for DNS. :/ I Use DHCP-PD and it works so far. Also I set up DoT on WAN settings...
