Title: Migration from ISC DHCP to Dnsmasq with Adguard Home
Post by: emmitt on August 31, 2026, 05:20:00 PM
I'm currently in the process of switching from ISC to dnsmasq. I'm wondering what the ideal configuration is and if there's a quick guide for this?


Here's what I have set up right now:
I have Adguard-Home installed (port 53, which currently forwards requests directly to Unbound (port 53530). There, I'm using DNSSEC and DNS over TLS.

Going forward:
I want to keep AGH—but do I still need Unbound?

Additionally, I want dnsmasq to assign static IP addresses to my devices based on their MAC addresses so I can access them using a domain name. I don't have that set up right now.

That's all perfectly possible :)

See https://docs.opnsense.org/ and then the DNSmasq section.
