Hello, as in the subject - I'd like to set up certain WiFi networks on my router that will not use the adblocking on the router. From the reading I've done what I need to do is create another DNS instance, but when I tried that it broke DHCP for all my VLANs. Can anyone provide a step-by-step guide for accomplishing this? LuCI would be preferred but I can use a command line if that works better. Thank you.
Anyone have any direction they could give me here? Thanks.
The simplest approach is to use DHCP option 6 to point to a public DNS server that does not block.... for example, the standard Google or Cloudflare DNS options would be good candidates. For this to work, you do not need to create a new DHCP instance, just simply specify option 6.
That sounds like a good solution! Where exactly do I need to specify the different DNS server?
Simply add:
list dhcp_option '6,8.8.8.8'
to the DHCP server for the network(s) that should use the non-adblocked DNS.
If you do this within LuCI, you'll specify 6,8.8.8.8 in:
Network > Interfaces > [edit relevant network] > DHCP Server > Advanced Settings > DHCP Options

Thanks! That's much easier than I expected. Set the non-adblocked interface to cloudflare's DNS and seems to be working!
