Hello, I am beginner in OpenWrt. I would like to setup Open DNS server instead of my ISP DNS. What I did: Luci -> Interfaces -> wan -> 1. Uncheck "Use DNS servers advertised by peer" 2. Set 208.67.222.123 208.67.220.123 to Use custom DNS servers Luci -> Network -> firewall -> Port Forwards …

Exactly, I just found it ! I set it there as well and it works. Dummy question, do I need wan6 interface ?

Why did you create the Port Forward rule? What were you trying to achieve? Normally this is not necessary - the WAN/WAN6 DNS settings are sufficient. wan6 is needed: Yes, if your ISP provides IPv6 (standard today).

Thanks for the feedback! Before your reply I had no context for the Port Forward rule, so I assumed it was just a leftover entry. Makes sense now!
