    By [FILL IN], [FILL IN] · Last updated

    Configure DNS in the LAN DHCP settings.

    Before you start

    You need a FirewallDNS account (see pricing). Sign in to your dashboard, register your public IP address and copy your DNS server addresses. Replace <FIREWALLDNS-PRIMARY> and <FIREWALLDNS-SECONDARY> below with them.

    Step by step

    1. LAN > General Setup > Details Page for LAN 1.
    2. Under DNS Server IP Address, tick Force DNS manual setting and enter <FIREWALLDNS-PRIMARY> / <FIREWALLDNS-SECONDARY>.
    3. OK, repeat for other LANs.

    Verify it works

    1. Renew DHCP on a client (Windows: ipconfig /renew, macOS: reconnect Wi-Fi).
    2. Run nslookup example.com and check which server answered.
    3. Open the live log in your dashboard. New lookups should appear within seconds.
