Model: Deco M9 Plus  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.6.4

Before I purchased my Deco M9 system I had a Raspberry Pi being used as my recursave DNS server. The device itsef lives on my internal LAN and my old router was able to forward DNS requests to it. When I got the M9 system it is not able to point to an internal device to be used as DNS it must be outside it's LAN IP Range. The benefits of using an internal recursive DNS is based on the ability to provide privacy on web browsing and block adds while having visibility on the traffic patterns of my internal devices. While I can put the Pi on the WAN side of the Deco I then loose the visibility on what devices are requesting what websites as all the requests come from the Deco WAN IP Address. Could you please provide the functionality to set the DNS server to an internal LAN IP Address. It should be an easy change then we could have the dual benefit of the web protection from deco with the ad removal adn recursive DNS of the raspberry pi.

Hi, thanks for posting question here.

Could you please share the screenshots of DHCP Server page and LAN IP Address page on Deco app?

What is the IP address of your Raspberry Pi?

On the DHCP Server page, if you put the IP address of Raspberry Pi as the primary DNS, what is the result?

We need to collect your settings to replicate your problem for further research.

Best regards.

  @Marvin_S thanks for the quick reply.

I have since moved my raspberry pi to the Wan side of the Deco router so I can't show the screen shot however I can explain my previous setup and what was happening.
 

Deco M9 connected to Edge ISP router and set up as Operation Mode WiFi Router. I have the wireless capabilities of my edge ISP router disabled. The IP Address of the port connecting the Deco to the Edge Router is 192.168.0.115 with the Edge routers IP 192.168.0.1.

The Internal LAN IP Range is set to 192.168.68.0/24. I have a hub connected to the Deco to allow for some wired connections and I connected the Respberry Pi to that hub with a preconfigured IP Address of 192.168.68.150. I have the address reserved using the Pi's MAC address in Deco so there was no conflict. The Raspberry Pi is able to access the internet via the setup to get updates and patches etc. When I then tried to set the Primary DNS server to this device I got an error message saying that I couldn't use the IP because it was on the LAN IP Range and the change won't take effect. I don't have the screen shot becuase I have since changed my setup where I have set the Raspberry Pi's IP address to 192.168.1.150 and connected it to the ISP's edge router.  With this change and the "external" IP address used as the DNS server the change is accepted. If you need me to replicate the error I can move the Pi this weekend and get it for you.

 

Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment.
