## Overview

If you have not yet registered for the service, you can do so by visiting our registration page. Connect to the control panel by entering the IP address of the Linksys device in the address bar of any browser. Then, log in by entering your administrative credentials.

## Configure the Device DNS

First, you need to configure the DNS of the device. To do this, open the **Connectivity** menu and then click on **Internet Settings**.

Click on the **Edit** item next to **Type of Internet Connection** and choose the connection mode of your network.

Please note that in this example, the Static IP mode will be used. Should you wish to use the Automatic Configuration DHCP mode, you would need to configure our DNS directly on your network DHCP Server instead.
:::

Fill in the various fields exactly as follows:

- **Internet IPv4 address:** Enter your Static Public IP.
- **Subnet mask:** Enter the network mask of your connection.
- **Default gateway:** Enter the IP of the default gateway, which is usually the local IP of the router.
- **DNS 1:** Enter the primary cloud IP 185.236.104.104.
- **DNS 2 optional:** Enter the secondary cloud IP 185.236.105.105.
- **DNS 3 optional:** Leave this field completely blank.

Click on the **Ok** button to save the changes.

## Configure Dynamic DNS Service

To configure the Dynamic DNS service, open the **Security** menu and then click on **Apps and Gaming**. Select **Dyn.com** from the drop-down menu next to the **Select a provider** item, and configure the service as follows:

- **Username:** Enter the specific username assigned to your dynamic network inside our dashboard. Do not use your main registration email.
- **Password:** Enter the specific password assigned to your dynamic network.
- **Host Name:** Enter the exact address.

Finally, click **Update** to make the changes active.

## Enable the DHCP Server

At this point, you can enable the DHCP Server so that it automatically assigns network parameters, including our filtered DNS, to the various internal devices.

Open the **Connectivity** menu and click on **Local Network**. Check the **Enabled** box next to **DHCP Server** to enable the service, and then configure it with the specific parameters of your local network.

Next, enter the following cloud addresses in the static DNS fields:

- **Static DNS 1:** Enter the address 185.236.104.104.
- **Static DNS 2:** Enter the address 185.236.105.105.

Finally, click **Ok** to activate the service and distribute the new settings. Alternatively, the DNS settings of the various devices within the network can be changed manually one by one.
