20.7 Legacy Series / Set DNS servers
« on: August 03, 2020, 11:38:01 am »
Hey folks, greetings from down under,
I'm super new to custom firewalls and I built a PC to learn open source firewalls, my previous router is an ASUS RT-68U. I managed to set up Opnsense (20.7) as the UI is way better than pfsense (little less chaos).
I'm new to this forum so if this is the wrong place, MODS please move where you think it should fit best.
I managed to set up everything like port forwarding and other stuff.
One thing I was wondering was in most of the off the shelf routers there is options to use custom dns servers like (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 )
I want to change my DNS servers to that but I'm bit confused on where I should use these values.
My first instinct was to google and found this thread https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=8505.0, it was entertaining to read but still the answer was not clear.
Here is my requirements,
I wanna keep OpnSense as my resolver and continue to use unboundDNS
I want Unbound DNS to query and cache from say CF DNS (1.1.1.1) or any other DNS service
And I wanna stop my ISP overriding the DNS servers.
How do I do that? any help is appreciated.
