Force devices to use assigned DNS
-
I currently have 3 devices on my network which I have reserved addresses and whilst doing that set them up with custom DNS.
They are all picking up DNS correctly but since a software update on the devices even though they still showing my DNS I assigned them. They are making DNS requests using 8.8 8.8. I don't really want to block Google DNS completely if possible. Just want to force these devices to use what I assign them. -
You can force all regardless of whats set via:-

Perfect. Thanks for that. I guess I could just create an alias to those 3 and then insert that into the redirect the following instead of selecting 127.0.0.1 which would send all my lan traffic.
Or create a VLAN for these 3 devices and apply rule to that
