AdGuardHome Adguard - DNS Stuff

[worf105]

Hi all, been a long time member here just looking for the most part trying to learn what I can.

I foolishly been playing with AI and asked about AGH and configurations trying to understand more.

Problems is after asking and reading, I have now got these configurations:

Upstream DNS:
[/router.asus.com/]192.168.0.1
[/www.asusnetwork.net/]192.168.0.1
[/www.asusrouter.com/]192.168.0.1
[/use-application-dns.net/]192.168.0.1
[/dns.resolver.arpa/]192.168.0.1
[/Home/]192.168.0.1

https://dns.cloudflare.com/dns-query

https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query

Private reverse DNS servers:
192.168.0.1:553

AGH(Latest using AMTM) is install on my AX86U running Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.10 Beta. This is not the installed config which i cant remember now what it was but is this new config OK.

Kind Regards,

Andrew

Is your router IP address 192.168.0.1? If dnsmasq is only listening on port 553, all those 192.168.0.1 entries should also have :553 appended.

It may be easier if you just uninstall and reinstall AGH. AI is not the same as reading and learning.

Also, Cloudflare is usually https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

Thank you Dave14305 for taking the time to respond. Agree AI is not the same, know that now.
I have found what I think is my original settings I had backed up with the following: ** would love to hear if these are better than others with the :553 on the ends **

Upstream DNS:
[/router.asus.com/][::]:553
[/www.asusnetwork.net/][::]:553
[/www.asusrouter.com/][::]:553
[/use-application-dns.net/][::]:553
[/dns.resolver.arpa/][::]:553
[/Home/][::]:553
[//][::]:553
https://dns.cloudflare.com/dns-query
https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query

Private reverse DNS servers:
[::]:553
[/10.in-addr.arpa/][::]:553
[/168.192.in-addr.arpa/][::]:553

which I now using and things still seem to work. I took the cloudflare DNS address from "list of known DNS providers" in ADH but will change to what you have suggested.

I did think about just uninstalling and installing but i have lots of client settings configured and filter lists. is there away to backup these settings?

almost forgot, yes my IP is 192.168.0.1

I will tell you I only use the [::] wildcard for simplicity, but it will only forward to addresses within one hop when it is specified, so dnsmasq will always be on the receiving end of those requests since it is the only thing bound to port 553 locally.
