Hi, My ISP Gave me xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx public IP and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Getway with xxx.xxx.xxx.2, xxx.xxx.xxx.3, DNS. I make Static Configuration For Interface WAN 2 With Public IP and Gateway. But where do I put the DNS

Hi Yahya

You set it under menu Network > DNS. But it is not required to use your ISP's DNS, you can use your local DNS or anyone else like cloudflars's or google's.

IF I did not put ISP DNS I can't access the web, ping to 8.8.8.8 is okay but can't access the web

Hi @yahya3 ,

Maybe your ISP provider denied all DNS traffic over port 53.

You may change the protocol setting in the DNS settings:

(dns) # set protocol ?
cleartext DNS over UDP/53, DNS over TCP/53.
dot DNS over TLS/853.
doh DNS over HTTPS/443.

Or in GUI:

If DNS still does not work for you after changing to other protocols, you may have to use your ISP's DNS servers.

Hi @yahya3 ,

You can configure the DNS settings via CLI as well:

If you have VDOM enabled, it is under the Global mode:

# config global // If you don't have VDOM enabled, you may skip this one

# config system dns

# set primary x.x.x.2
# set secondary x.x.x.3

# end
