I'm far from knowing 100% how to do what I am trying to accomplish and only copying what I see others doing. _________________ Linksys WRT32X | DD-WRT v3.0-r51937 std (03/05/23) | macOS Ventura
Have you ever noticed that there is an option "Forced DNS Redirection" in the GUI?
You can find this option in the "Basic Setup" tab.
and no this does not work for all clients, clients can also use encrypted DNS like DoT or DoH.
DoH is difficult to block because the standard HTTPS port is used but with ipset it is possible.

If I check Forced DNS Redirection I will not need anything else except to place Open DNS Servers in Static DNS 1 and Static DNS 2?
What should I place in Static DNS 3? I've read to place "10" or "0". I can't recall a definitive answer as to what to place in Static DNS 3 to ensure only Open DNS servers are used.
You enter your desired DNS servers under "static DNS" either 1 or 2 or 3
Not used fields remain empty ( 0.0.0.0 )
There is also the option "Forced DNS Redirection DoT" in the GUI but this does not redirect DoT but blocks it but also only the default port. (theoretically you can use any port for DoT).
And blocking DoH is as already mentioned a bit more complicated.

Ok I thought should use Static DNS 1 and Static DNS 2 since Open DNS has two different server addresses LOL. Thanks for clearing that up! I guess I will worry about blocking DoH at a later date. _________________ Linksys WRT32X | DD-WRT v3.0-r51937 std (03/05/23) | macOS Ventura
