Title: Using AdGuard Home for specific hosts only?
Post by: blue_shift on October 08, 2022, 02:58:38 pm

Hi all,

I just realized that the latest update of OPNsene seemed to fix my AdGuard problems. So I currently got AdGuard installed on the OS of my OPNSense listening on port 5353. It seems to work just fine.

Now I would like some hosts to use the unbound DNS and some specific should use the AdGuard as their DNS service. What would be best practice to realize that?

I tried to use NAT to forward all DNS traffic on port 53 to the AdGuard on port 5353 and AdGuard got that requests but for any reason the hosts seem to get no response?!

So have Adguard on port 53 and Unbound on port 53530. So everything hist adguard first.

I used Adguard Settings/Client Settings to segregate lists of clients IP's and MAC addresses that bypass the global Adguard settings and get passed through directly to unbound as well as other client lists, for example younger kids, that get more stringent settings.

This would be my recommendation as well.
