Manually Configured DNS v. DNSFilter

[AntonK]

Hi,

What is the difference between manually configuring your DNS servers on the WAN and LAN panels, versus using the DNSFilter panel for, example, using Quad9's DNS.

Thanks,
Anton

With DNSFilter, clients’ DNS traffic is forced by the router to only go to the prescribed resolvers. Without, a client can override the DNS settings locally.
