Hi. I've a Brume 2 with the latest firmware and I also use a paid subscription to NextDNS for ad-blocking. When my devices are connected locally, NextDNS is successfully blocking adverts. When I connect remotely via either WireGuard or OpenVPN, I can connect to the internet through my home router however adverts are not blocked.
Is it at all possible to use the LAN DNS settings for inbound VPN connections? I've tried turning "Allow Custom DNS to Override VPN DNS" on and off and it does not seem to make a difference.
If you haven't already stumbled across it, this is a useful DNS checking website. I'm curious what results you see when connected to your Brume via VPN from a remote network: https://www.dnscheck.tools/
If you're using only NextDNS, you should see dns.nextdns.io in the DNS resolvers section.
Thank you for the link. After I posted, I did what everyone does these days and asked ChatGPT for some assistance! It recommended I tick the allow remote access to LAN and then point the scripts to the LAN DNS server. This works!
So now, I have Override DNS Settings of All Clients ticked, DNS Server Settings pointing to the NextDNS provider and all VPN inbound connections now point to the Brume 2 as its DNS server - 192.168.8.1.
Although this is an internal non-routable IP address, because the initial connection is relying on my normal DNS servers to resolve the VPN host, once it is connected, it is then relying on the supplied DNS server setting after.
