Configurando PC Windows para usar Lumiun DNS via DoH

This configuration will cause the Windows PC to forward its DNS requests to the Acrylic service, which in turn will forward the requests to the Lumiun DNS servers using the DNS-over-HTTPS protocol.

In this article, you will learn how to configure your Windows computer to use Lumiun DNS through Acrylic.

Attention: Try the new Groups and Devices feature in Lumiun DNS, which offers greater integration and granularity, as well as easier installation and management. This feature is not related to sites.

Installing and configuring Acrylic UI

  1. Get the Acrylic software installer at the following link: Download Acrylic DNS Proxy

  2. Install Acrylic on your Windows PC.

  3. Search for the Acrylic UI shortcut in the Windows Start menu and run it.

  4. In the Acrylic management interface, go to the File → Open Acrylic Configuration menu.

  5. Remove all content from the configuration and add only the following: Replace abcd1234 with your site ID, and replace dns_server_1 with the respective DNS server for your site. All of this information can be found on the sites page.

    IP1=127.*

  6. Save the new configuration via the File → Save menu or by pressing Ctrl+S.

  7. Restart the Acrylic service via the Actions → Restart Acrylic Service menu.

  8. Close the Acrylic management window.

Configure Windows to send DNS requests to Acrylic

  1. Open PowerShell in Administrator mode: in the Start menu, search for PowerShell, right-click on the item, and select Run as administrator. In the confirmation window, click Yes.

  2. Copy the command below, paste it into PowerShell, and run it.

    Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_IP4RouteTable |
        where { $_.destination -eq '0.0.0.0' -and $_.mask -eq '0.0.0.0'} |
        Sort-Object metric1 | select interfaceindex |
        set-DnsClientServerAddress -ServerAddresses ('127.0.0.2')

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