Hi,

 

I am trying to start the wireguard server on the router, but it seems the server has checkbox for DNS, but no option to give custom server address.

 

I have docker based wireguard server currently and configuration for one of the clients looks like this:

 

```

[Interface]
PrivateKey = PKEY
Address = 10.5.0.1/32
DNS = 192.168.2.2

[Peer]
PublicKey = PKEY2
PresharedKey = PSK
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
PersistentKeepalive = 0
Endpoint = External-IP:51820

```

 

Is there any way we can update this?

 

or is there any way we can SSH in to the router to make this change?

 

Thanks,

Vipin

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, there is no way to SSH or Telnet into these Archer routers. So you will have to edit the DNS entry in every client *.conf file that you export.
