Opendns

    Hello,

    I have started to setup the routers described in another of my forum posts.

    I have updated to dd-wrt 21676.

    The hotspot all works which is great.

    I used to have open dns on the router, which I am now trying to configure, but the hotspot seems to override the ip address for the dns and allows the user to look at any content.

    I have tried putting the ip addresses for openDNS in local dns, static DNS 1 and 2.

    openDNS works when the hotspot is not setup.

    Does anyone have any ideas.

    BTW, I follow all the instructions in the setup of the router.

    Thanks,

    Leon

    Hello,

    Have you set the openDNS servers under Setup>Basic setup>router IP>Local DNS?
    under the DHCP server it’s not the same thing, since it’s being replaced by the coovachilli process as soon as the hotspot has been started.

    Hello,

    I found that I was not using a static IP for my WAN behind the main adsl modem, therefore the adsl modem dns was being used, bypassing the dd-wrt dns that was set.

    I followed the tutorial here and the dns now works.

    Thanks,
