unlocator on router

[squirrellydw]

So if I setup unlocator (Smart DNS) how can I set the router up so only my Fire TVs use it? I would like my other computers to use my regular connection? I could just set it up on the Fire TVs but like the router setup better.

Just follow the instructions in the README for DNS Filtering.

ok, I'm sure this is a dumb question but where is the realm?


edit......Found it DNS filtering under parent controls

The README came with the Merlin firmware that you downloaded.

OK, think I have it setup. Just want to make sure I understand it correctly.

Under WAN - Connect to DNS Server automatically- is "YES"

Under Parental Control/DNS Filting
I have - Global Filter Mode "No Filtering" This should send everything through the default DNS correct?

I added my Custom DNS Settings to Custom 1 and 2

I added my clients to the list below and choose Custom 1 and 2 for each. For example

FireTV Family is listed twice one for custom 1 and one for custom 2.

That should send the custom DNS to the Fire TV correct?

Thanks

You can't use multiple servers per device. Only the first one gets used.
