Why are we going to redirect DNS traffic to a Local Server and force users to use our specified DNS server? This is especially great for business networks where you don’t want guests using their own DNS servers to bypass your content blocking. This approach is only useful if you have a Mikrotik router and semi-useful if your router uses ipchains as the logic is the same and the syntax is not that different. Using a Mikrotik router you can route all DNS traffic to your raspberry PI on which you are running Pi-Hole using SmartDNS as the upstream DNS server.īy adding the firewall rules below we are telling the router to send everyone to the PiHole. Redirect all port 53 (DNS traffic) to Pi-hole for SmartDNS
Force All DNS Traffic To Go Through Pi-hole Using Mikrotik
