I would not have changed the clients to use adguard directly, but leave them as the default using the windows server dns and then get the windows dns server to forward to adguard.ĭoes the home version allow business use? are you just purchasing multiple personal licences? The cloud service is aimed at commercial use. Alternatively configure a forwarder and set it to use the adguard home server. Obviously the server itself will not have external dns etc then. If you don't want the windows server to resolve external dns then disable root hints and do not enable a forwarder. why does it think Opens a new window is external - simply because it does not have a local forward zone for Opens a new window so it will send it external. In most environments the dns server needs to resolve external dns. Why is windows dns server trying to resolve it? because that is defualt behavior.

you don't mneed it if the fqdn suffix of AD is The client should not be trying to do this lookup " Opens a new window" - check to see if you have added an additional suffix of " Opens a new window".

I could use AdGuard after Windows DNS Server instead of before but I would'nt be able to apply DNS resolution rules policy based on client.


I could disable Windows DNS Server forwarding, but I would'nt be able to use it as DNS Server for other critical servers. Why Windows DNS Server try to solve externally a query for an "internal" zone instead of returning failure? So I made ADGuard upstream servers configuration similar toīut when from a Windows computer on the lan (whose DNS domain suffix is ****) I try make a name query for, say, Opens a new window, it happens that the os resolver send to ADGuard a query for Opens a new window and later Opens a new window.īoth queries goes, I suppose, from ADGuard to Windows DNS Server who can't solve internally and, I suppose, forward to public DNS server: the first one is not resolved externally, but the second one is resolved, because *. is registered and point to my public ip. I deployed ADGuard Home in my network and I was planning to make all clients use ADGuard as DNS Server and let ADGuard forward query to Windows DNS Server for LAN domain and to public external DNS Server for others names.
