Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.31

Hi there!

 

Many devices nowadays have a baked default DNS so they are able to ignore the one I set for Deco. Could you add an option to force this setting? Or is there a way to do that currently?

 

Fundamentally you could create a firewall rule based on a simple UI "Force DNS settings" switch like:

 

ALLOW TCP/UDP IN/OUT to <DNS1> or <DNS2> on Port 53

and

BLOCK TCP/UDP IN/OUT all IP addresses on Port 53

 

Is there a beta version of the firmware I could use to pass an iptables command or similar?

 

I think DNS is becoming more and more a critical service to ensure internet privacy, it would be great (and not to hard to bake into the firmware) if a user would be able to set a DNS and have confidence it is going to be effectively used by the devices in the network.

 

Cheers,

Hello, sorry to tell  you that there is no such feature supported by Deco to force DNS settings. And there is no beta firmware available yet.

 

While we have noted this, and will keep an eye on the similar feedback.

 

You can wait for the updates. 

 

Good day.

Hi @Kevin_Z, I also need this to be implemented. Because there is no point setting up parental control DNS if they can bypass this. Thank you.
