Access the command line interface (CLI) of the router. You can do this using the CLI button in the GUI or by using a program such as PuTTY.
Set the System Name Server to 127.0.0.1, and then configure dnsmasq (the DNS forwarder) with the nameservers you want to use.
(Replace references to eth4
with your WAN port)
configure delete system name-server set system name-server 127.0.0.1
Tell the dhcp-client not to add the ISP DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf.
set interfaces ethernet eth4 dhcp-options name-server no-update
Then you can add your nameservers to dnsmasq and set the cache size.
set service dns forwarding name-server 1.1.1.1 set service dns forwarding name-server 1.0.0.1 set service dns forwarding name-server 8.8.8.8 set service dns forwarding name-server 8.8.4.4 set service dns forwarding cache-size 200
Then, commit your changes, save the new config, release and renew your WAN IP to remove the ISP servers from /etc/resolv.conf
commit save exit release dhcp interface eth4 renew dhcp interface eth4
Now, when you type show dns forwarding nameservers
, it should look like this:
----------------------------------------------- Nameservers configured for DNS forwarding ----------------------------------------------- 1.1.1.1 available via 'statically configured' 1.0.0.1 available via 'statically configured' 8.8.8.8 available via 'statically configured' 8.8.4.4 available via 'statically configured' ----------------------------------------------- Nameservers NOT configured for DNS forwarding ----------------------------------------------- 127.0.0.1 available via 'system'
