Adguard Home Via VPN

Hi all, I have upgraded to v4.8.2 recently for my Flint 2.

Is there anyway to enforce the Adguard Home Services to query DNS via VPN tunnel?

Previously it was working whenever I have VPN profiles on.

Eg. non-vpn client use Adguard Home.

Thank you for helping.

Hello,

As long as the VPN client is enabled (including VPN Policy mode), ADG's DNS packets will go through the VPN tunnel.

May I know what are your needs?

The needs is that I wish to hide my packet whenever query the DNS via HTTPS in Adguard Home.

If everything from the Adguard Home are able to tunnel via VPN, that will be great.

If the VPN mode is global, or if the LAN client (A) is included in VPN rule with policy mode, the client (A) DNS will also go the VPN interface after the DNS request passes through ADG.

Vice versa, like if the client (B) is not included the VPN rule, so its will go to WAN, then DNS passes through ADG and goes to WAN interface.

Hi Brude, noted on the behavior.

Is there is a way to enforce the Adguard Home to execute via VPN tunnel when using Policy Mode for non-VPN client?

This makes no sense.

Since the specified client does not include the VPN tunnel, so its corresponding DNS request will pass through ADG and go to WAN interface.
This is the correct traffic splitting.

May I know why do you need all DNS -> ADG -> VPN?

The idea here is some ISP has bad routing/throttle/blocked to custom DNS servers, hence with VPN I got better result sometimes, although the result is very minimal to observe.

I think the encrypted DNS in ADG is better to solve.
