I’m struggling to find a way?

Hello,

You can’t do that (maybe you can, but with a lot of effort …). Instead install and use AdguardHome:

opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf update
opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf install adguardhome

Regards,

i’ll try that now

i have installed it, there were messages about folders missing. reinstalled ok.

couldn’t link to std port 53, so used 530, but rutx won’t let me specify port…

uninstalled, try again later! thx

I use port 53 for adguardhome, but I have moved dnsmasq on port 5353.
The upstream servers are set to 127.0.0.1:5353 in order to resolve the local domain, and 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 for the rest.
The private reverse DNS resolver is set to 127.0.0.1:5353

thank you, i will investigate.
please excuse one finger typing, right arm in sling…

7

do i need to manually edit the dnsmasq.conf file to do that? i.e not in the ui?

Yes, you have to manually edit /etc/config/dhcp, add “option port ‘5353’” in the “config dnsmasq” section and restart the process afterwards: service dhcp restart.

thank you
