Windows 10: How can the DNS be configured by the RM-1072 with the exact same setting digits as the Gateway?

I have a RM-1072 Microsoft 640 LTE mobile phone that when I input the correct password it then configures the IP address correctly DHCP the Mask correctly, but sets the Gateway and the DNS as exactly the same xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx? The gateways is actually correct, but there is no way I will ever be able to access the internet with these settings, as the DNS is totally incorrect.Then worse than that there is seemingly no way to manually override the pitifully poor automatic management of setting up a WiFi setupHow can this have been allowed to happen and worse than that, Microsoft not have ensu

We already provide the basic steps for us to change the DNS server. We suggest to contact your ISP service provider for them to configure and provide the exact DNS server.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you do have another concern.

 

PC not blocking ads despite correct DNS configuration

winver: 22H2 19045.2965 I am seeking assistance regarding a peculiar issue I've been facing with my PC's ad-blocking setup. I have set up a Pi-hole server and have correctly configured my PC's DNS settings to point to the assigned DNS of the Pi-hole server. However, despite these settings, my PC still fails to block ads. Here are the troubleshooting steps I have already tried:

• Verified DNS Configuration: I have double-checked and confirmed that my PC's DNS settings are correctly pointing to the Pi-hole server's DNS IP address.
• Tested on Other Devices: To ensure it's not an issue with the Pi-hole server itself, I have tested ad-blocking functionality on other devices connected to the same network, such as another PC, both wired and wireless, and various cell phones. Ad-blocking works perfectly fine on these devices, confirming that the Pi-hole server is functioning as intended.
• Previous Configuration with Docker: It's worth noting that I initially had Pi-hole installed on my PC using Docker, and it worked flawlessly in that setup. However, I later switched to using a separate device (Orange 3 LTS) dedicated to running the Pi-hole server. This is when the issue with my PC not blocking ads started occurring.

Considering the steps I've taken and the fact that ad-blocking functions properly on other devices, it appears to be an isolated problem with my PC. I'm puzzled as to why the DNS configuration is not taking effect on my PC specifically.

 

Browser DNS querries-?

Hello @Chris77 I may be wrong but a slight hint of mildly objectionable old tracker/spyware may be suggested in the description you have provided so far. Many Internet users would prefer their devices refrained from "calling home" even years after the fact...

1. Please share the browser's name and its full/current version number of the one in question. Chrome or a derivative?
2. Also, when that browser in question makes that DNS server query, is it the same DNS IP address value as in that computer's Windows' Network Connections setting?
3. If you were to change that computer's Windows' DNS server IP setting, would the unknown browser in question DNS query follow?
4. Regardless of that computer's Windows DNS server choice, will a possible gateway's/router's override setting take presedense over that of any device request on its LAN side?
5. Concerning the gateway/router in use - is it ISP provided and you are disallowed from re-configuring?

It would be most helpful, and appreciated, if you answered by number. Thank you.
