    firewall rules to stop circumventing router's DNS configuration


    I hope that someone here can help me. My router is configured to point to specific DNS servers and I want to prevent someone from circumventing the router by changing the PC's network adapter properties with other DNS servers. Using Windows Defender on a Windows 10 PC, what firewall rules should I enable?

    Thanks for any help with this.

    :)

    DNS problems with router

    A couple suggestions I have for you:

    Update the firmware on the router. Maybe it's getting into a badstate, and a firmware update might fix it. Or if you're comfortable with it, install a custom firmware like dd-wrt. Just make sure its supported on your router first.

    Change your DNS to: 8.8.8.8, 4.2.2.1. Might help.

    If none of these work, maybe statically set your DNS on your PS3/PC to the IPs you listed, taking the router out of the lookup procedure.

    Last option, is look for a new router.

    WIN10 Firewall Rules - found 70 different DNS Forwarding Rules? - VIRUS or?

    Hello,

    while investigating a problem in Windows 10 - which is now solved and solution is unrelated to this question -

    I checked the list of Exceptions in the Windows Firewall.

    Among the many entries there are

    70 different

    DNS Forwarding Rule - TCP - xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-0 Private ON Public ON

    (or UDP)

    Does anyone know how these Rules come about and what purpose they serve?

    Could this be some malware redirecting web-addresses?

    Or could it be related to the Windows-Insider Program? (no answer on this there).

    Regards,

    Andreas
