Opendns/openwrt/hotspotsystem

[Anonymous]

I am having a little bit of time getting OpenDNS to work.

If I connect to the router’s wifi (which is not set up as open hotspot) the open dns blocks like it should.

When I connect to the ubiquiti 2.4ghz picostation that is currently running openwrt/with the hotspotsytems. The hotspotsytems works as it should but it bypasses the access point and routers open dns setting.

I really like the set up of the hotspotsystem, with a landing page. But I need to block the content. This is going to be deployed at a church camp. The main use would be for the adult sponsors but still want it restricted

I have the dns set on the local router & the access point to.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Could some one give me detailed steps/some screenshots on how to fix this.

Thank you,
Paul Wood

We are investigating your issue. We will get back to you as soon as possible. We kindly ask for your patience.

We would like to inform you that you need to edit a configuration file on the router to perform this operation.

So, you need to SSH to your router using an ssh client like Putty, the same way you did when you set up the router. To do this please repeat step 5 of our installation guide: http://www.hotspotsystem.com/installation-guide-ubiquiti-airmax

Once you are in the router. Type the following:

cd /etc

cd chilli

vi defaults

Scroll down to:

HS_DNS1=8.8.8.8

HS_DNS2=8.8.4.4

press the INSERT button on your keyboard and change the values

from:

HS_DNS1=8.8.8.8

HS_DNS2=8.8.4.4

to:

HS_DNS1=208.67.222.222

HS_DNS2=208.67.220.220

press the ESC (escape) button on your keyboard. Type “:wq”

Reboot your router.

That’s it. You can now use openDNS for the Ubiquiti router that has openwrt firmware installed.
