Firewall rules ignore DHCP Settings

Hi, this is a bit of a general question but hopefully someone knows the answer.

I have set up a port forwarding rule as my ISP was preventing me from using a custom DNS, and it now works fine.

However, in doing this my host name entries that enabled me to access the GLI UI (192.168.8.1) by going to routerlogin.com no longer work

Does anyone know how I can create an exception to stop the firewall from breaking this? I’ve included my set-up below.

Portforward = iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 212.71.249.225 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 103.250.185.113 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 212.71.249.225 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 103.250.185.113

********** my DHCP Settings:
config domain
option name ‘routersetup.com’
option ip ‘192.168.8.1’

I have done this before but cannot remember which file name. maybe /etc/resolv.conf?
