Hi,

After switching to Dnsmasq DNS & DHCP, nothing I did before works now.

example.
-setup a vpn as the steps that i used before changed.
-have my network use a vpn service(all computers, wifi)
-I used to defer ips(static ip) from using VPN(like TVs, iot etc.)
-block iot devices from internet completely(I had it working but an hour later the iot's connected to the internet so, that is a big fail)
-have 2 different dhcp ranges(example 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1) each with its own dns service

I have tried so many different options(some things I could not find. like the manual dns for each dhcp range) that I have lost track of what I did. I have been trying to get this working(with my spare time that I have) since v26.

If anyone may help me to get the above working it would be most appreciated and many thanks.

What steps exactly with all details did you try that are not working? Your post contains ways too little information to help.
