Hello,

I would like to have an option to disable dns requests that was sent directly to the router on port 53 (block or forward the traffic to assigned dns server).

For example, now any clients on my network can bypass designated dns server by directly sending the dns name resolution queries to the router. In my case, I have pi-hole setup at 192.168.0.2 and sends dns to cloudflare dns over secure HTTPS. But i see applications on some devices bypassing the pi-hole dns server and directly going to the router @ 192.168.0.1. You can verify this by running the the dig command (see below) from an ubuntu terminal. In this example, can see blocked adware domain 'outbrain.com' getting resolved by the builtin dns forwading in router.

 

nks@orion$ dig outbrain.com @192.168.0.1 -p 53

 

Thanks
