[strange]

I guess that I am ignorant, is there a reason that I should not trust my VPN's DNS? Couldn't I just remove it's line from the SmartDNS options?
server-tls x.x.x.x:853 -host-name: xxxxxx

I prefer to use another DNS different than this one parsed from the VPN provider due to a few reasons...more likely i don't want to provide them with history where i go and what i visit..although they will know it anyway...

server-tls x.x.x.x:853 -host-name: xxxxxx
no idea what is this line but this is the standard format to use DNS over TLS via SmartDNS...if this is the VPN DNS parsed to SmartDNS automatically(i doubt)...the better way to not use VPN DNS is via those lines i offered...

I have read this page and the wiki for the app.
I undertood the format for tls to be used in the text box.

May I clarify the format for the DoH DNS servers for the additional settings:

I tried:

server-https https://family.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query :443

and
server-https 1.1.1.1: 443 -host-name :family.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

but neither of them work?

to add i am using todays bulit on R7800.

I read this again : https://pymumu.github.io/smartdns/ReadMe_en.html and tried the below unsuccessfully:




Anyone knows in that format for DoH DNS to enter in addtional samrt DNS settings[/img]

-do you have a dns without those rules...

-did you click at force DoT box...form basic set up page...untick that...

-do you have in advanced DNSmasq a server= [loopback interface] [smart dns port used]

-have you read the set up guide in the thread...

also today build will sound today build even after 10 years
not bad to mention the build number as today build is 49326


did you try DNS over TLS instead..
server-tls 1.0.0.1:853 -host-name: security.cloudflare-dns.com
server-tls 1.0.0.2:853 -host-name: security.cloudflare-dns.com
server-tls 9.9.9.9:853 -host-name: dns.quad9.net
server-tls 149.112.112.112:853 -host-name: dns.quad9.net

or just
server-tls 9.9.9.9:853


as i haven't tested the new updated SmartDNS nor i tested via DOH yet...

https://svn.dd-wrt.com/browser/src/router/smartdns/etc/smartdns/smartdns.conf

server-https https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query
server-https https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

Thank you for responding

I have DNS with TLS
The TLS resolution has been flawless with these
server-tls 1.0.0.1:853 -host-name: security.cloudflare-dns.com
server-tls 1.0.0.2:853 -host-name: security.cloudflare-dns.com
server-tls 9.9.9.9:853 -host-name: dns.quad9.net
server-tls 149.112.112.112:853 -host-name: dns.quad9.net

I have server=127.0.0.1:53 in DNSmasq options

No resolution, When trying any of the above DoH addrress.
Do they need to be entered in some other format?

Reading here:

[tcpud]

this is how it is after server=127.0.0.1#6053
But why is then tls resol by smartdns is fine and only Doh is not reachable?

[dale_gribble39]

My best educated guess:

https://svn.dd-wrt.com/changeset/49289

[tcpud]

If I understood correctly,we can only use TLS and DoH is unworkable in smart DNS. Thanks

[egc]

I just added to SmartDNS additional options:
server-https https://1.1.1.1/dns-query

and Cloudfare seems to resolve my DNS queries

and this is my only DNS server:
smartdns.conf:

[egc]

SmartDNS userguide attached

Note:
I am not an expert in these matters at all!
Just an ordinary but very smart DDWRT user

[tcpud]

Thank you so much. With the above format (relacing https address in words with numbers) as advised by @egc all DNS servers DoH queries are resolved.
