Beryl AX, DNS, Adguard Home, and DoH?

[lsquare]

So if I am using Adguard Home, then is the entire DNS page disabled in the Beryl AX?

If I disable AGH and want to use the DNS page, then what are these settings, and which ones should be turned on? * DNS Rebinding Attack Protection, Override DNS Settings of All Clients, and Allow Custom DNS to Override VPN DNS?

Currently, I have Adguard on and want to use DoH. Under Upstream DNS servers, I just enter "https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query" in the first row and then "https://dns.nextdns.io" in the second row. How does this really work when there are two DNS servers? I was advised this would be a good combination for privacy and security for my DNA queries. I want to add my paid ControlD configuration to this, but I don't know which order to add it. If I add it above the Quad9 server, does that mean AGH will use ControlD before Quad9?

I just copied the ControlD's HTTPS setting in my account. It's under this format: https://dns.controld.com/xxxxxxx. I think xxxxxxxx is specific to my account and configuration. Once I paste that in, then things should work, right? If so, why isn't the geo-restriction circumvention working?

Hi

For questions about how to get AdGuard Home to work with ControlD, please see the discussion in our previous post.

Is the Beryl AX preventing my TV from using a custom DNS?

Hi, As mentioned by 9b9e..., once the 'Admin Panel - Network - DNS - Override DNS Settings of All Clients' option is disabled, Beryl AX will not affect the custom DNS setting of the TV. If the TV's custom DNS still does not work, we think that your VPN service provider may be overriding the unencrypted DNS request on their end. In this case, your idea (learn from your other posts) - using the Adgurad Home to filter ads, and use encrypted DNS as upstream will be good one. The following is the…

About how multiple DNS server works when they are configured in AdGuard Home Upstream DNS servers, it depends on which mode being selected.

• Load-balancing, AdGuard Home randomly selects a DNS server based on its algorithm.
• Parallel requests, AdGuard Home sends DNS requests to all DNS servers and uses the result with the fastest response.
• Fastest IP address, AdGuard Home sends DNS requests to all DNS servers and waits for them to respond or time out, then measures all the returned results and replies to the client with the fastest & available one.
