[Feature Request] AdGuard Home related issue (noresolv value and default upstream)

Technical Support for Routers

As is...

Initial state:

  • Query ➔ Dnsmasq ➔ Upstream

After enabling AdGuard Home:

No port forwarding
dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].noresolv ➔ '1'
dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].server ➔ '127.0.0.1#3053'

  • Query ➔ Dnsmasq ➔ AGH ➔ Upstream

After enabling "AdGuard Home Handle Client Requests":

dport='53' redirects to dest_port='3053'
dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].noresolv ➔ '1'
dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].server ➔ '127.0.0.1#3053'

  • Query ➔ AGH ➔ Upstream

Issue?

  • Dnsmasq resolving is needed to get DHCP clients' addresses.

  • It can be set by manually, but every time restarting AGH or reboot causes change dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].noresolv to '1' and dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].server to '127.0.0.1#3053'.

  • So currently I can't check where the query was came from.

Hope to be...

Enable "AdGuard Home Handle Client Requests"

dport='53' redirects to dest_port='3053' (No change)
dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].noresolv ➔ '0' (Revert back to initial state)
dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].server ➔ Delete (Revert back to initial state)

Then set AGH upstream to 127.0.0.1:

  • Query ➔ AGH ➔ Dnsmasq ➔ Upstream

In addition, I think it would be better to have 127.0.0.1 as default upstream to follow the resolv.conf. Currently many people will be using slower DNS servers, unless change the upstream settings in AGH.

In my case, 1.1.1.1 takes 4-6 ms regardless of ISP. But the default 9.9.9.9 takes 67-70 ms or 35-40 ms depending on ISP. Of course RTT and throughput are not proportional, but the latter too has pretty decent overseas IX.
