Wireguard use peer dns server

[trendy]

@plasticassius

Yes, I would like to ask the peer, but how? In openvpn, there are callbacks of the type up and route-up that are passed the DNS server ips from the peer (among other information). Is there anything equivalent in wireguard? I think there is because wg-quick on my laptop is able to discover them, I'm just not able to see how it gets them. I know it's in the resolvconf script, but what it does is beyond me.

I meant you should contact the administrator of the other endpoint
OpenVPN has an option to advertise the nameserver. As far as I am aware there isn't such a thing in WG.

@plasticassius

I don't have the url of the DNS servers, so I can't loop up the addresses. I only have the url of the endpoint.

DNS doesn't have URL, has IP. And I meant for you to try with nslookup to query some address, e.g openwrt.org with IP of the peer in order to verify if the peer can also serve names,

@plasticassius

Ok, but what does?

I don't know how the administrator of your peer has configured it and if the peer is also listening to dns port. But as I explained above it is very easy to test it yourself.

@plasticassius

However, I can't get either way to work.

In OpenWrt to do Policy Based Routing you have 3 options:

1. mwan3 package
2. pbr package
3. a set of rules/routes for each internet connection.

PBR is the easiest one.
