## Overview

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

## Configure the Device DNS

First, you need to change the DNS of the device. To do this, click on the **Network** menu, then look for the **WAN Network Settings** item. Enter the address **185.236.104.104** inside the **Primary DNS IP** field and **185.236.105.105** in the **Secondary DNS IP** field. Click **Change** to apply the updates.

## Configure Dynamic DNS Service

Next, open the **Services** menu and enable the **Dynamic DNS** item. Configure the various fields as follows:

- **Service:** Select Dyndns.org.
- **Host Name:** Enter any name you like, for example, Filter.
- **User Name:** Enter the specific username assigned to your dynamic network inside our dashboard. Do not use your main account email.
- **Password:** Enter the specific password assigned to your dynamic network.

Click on the **Change** button to save.

It is absolutely not necessary to be registered for the DynDns.org service. Our system will automatically intercept and redirect the DynDns.org update connections directly to our web filter.

## Configure the DHCP Server

To distribute the cloud filter DNS to all devices within the local network, open the **Network** menu and look for the **LAN Network Settings** item. Fill in the fields as follows:

- **Range Start:** Enter the first IP address of your DHCP range.
- **Range End:** Enter the last IP address of your DHCP range.
- **Netmask:** Enter your subnet mask.
- **Lease Time:** Set a DHCP lease time in seconds.
- **Primary DNS IP:** Enter the IP 185.236.104.104.
- **Secondary DNS IP:** Enter the IP 185.236.105.105.

Click **Change** to make the modifications active. Alternatively, the DNS settings of the various devices within the network can be changed manually one by one.

## Optional: Deny DNS Changes by Users

It is possible to increase security by denying users the ability to browse unfiltered by manually changing the DNS on their local devices. To do this, proceed as follows:

Click on the **Network** menu and open the **Firewall** item. At this point, you need to create rules to block all outbound traffic on port 53 for both TCP and UDP protocols, except for requests directed specifically to our cloud IPs.

It is crucial to respect the order of the firewall rules to ensure they work correctly. You must place the allow rules for our specific IPs **185.236.104.104** and **185.236.105.105** at the very top of the list, and immediately follow them with the general drop or block rules for all other port 53 traffic.
