1. Configure Dynamic DNS Service

Then open the [Services] menu and enable the Dynamic DNS item. Then configure the various fields as follows: »Service: Select Dyndns.org.

For example Filter. »User Name: Enter the username or email you used to register for the Filter Cloud. »Password: Enter your password, received by email to the address specified during registration. Click on the [Change] button to save.

Alternatively, the DNS of the various devices within the network can be changed manually.

3. OPTIONAL: Deny DNS changes by users

It is possible to increase security by denying the user the ability to browse unfiltered, as a result of changing the DNS on their device. To do this proceed as follows: » Click on [Network] and open the [Firewall] item. » At this point you need to create rules to block all traffic on port 53 (DNS Service), both TCP and UDP, except those directed to our IPs. See the image below to understand how to create the various rules. PLEASE NOTE: It is impostante to respect the order to create the rules correctly. So first there must be the allowed ones and then the blocked ones, as you can see in the image below.
