Configuring Lumiun DNS on a DD-WRT router

This configuration will cause your router to forward DNS requests using the traditional DNS protocol on port 53, also known as DNS53 or Do53.

In this article, you will learn how to configure your DD-WRT router to use Lumiun DNS, apply blocking rules, and control access to your network.

Linking your internet connection IP address to your Lumiun DNS site

If your internet connection has a fixed public IP address, you do not need to use No-IP. Simply link the IP address to your Site in the Lumiun DNS panel.

  1. Create an account and a hostname on the No-IP service. If you have any questions, see the article How to create an account and a DDNS hostname on No-IP.

  2. Link your No-IP hostname to your site in the Lumiun DNS panel.

If you have purchased Lumiun DNS Pro or Education, we can provide you with a free DDNS hostname. Contact support to request it.

After linking, we proceed to the configuration on your router.

Step-by-step

  1. Access your router's interface.
  2. In the top menu, click Setup and locate the Basic Setup submenu.
  3. Locate the Network Address Server Settings (DHCP) page and change the Static DNS 1 and Static DNS 2 fields to the respective DNS servers for your site located on the sites page, dns_server_1 and dns_server_2 respectively.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.

That's it! You can now view reports on your Lumiun DNS dashboard and also define policy rules.
