DNS

[Archerious]

Thank you so much for this guide.

I have a a stupid question, will changing the DNS revolvers from AT&T affect ipv6 or the proxy?

Based on my observium info (SNMP) it seems the AT&T DNS goes down a few times a week....

Hey @Archerious,
Most definitely it will impact IPv6 since I was not able to really get it to work properly.

What's the process to remove ipv6 and put DNS on Google?

My ipv6 isn't working as it is and I think changing the DNS resolvers will improve my connection since I get much higher ping when DNS is involved lately (110-140ms) on ethernet. If I just ping 8.8.8.8 I get usually around 8ms ping. Att dns isn't very good imo.

You could try to follow the thread here to see if you want to get IPv6 enabled: jaysoffian/eap_proxy#3

To be honest I use the EdgeRouter basically to get me to the Internet. I then put a Static IP in the Edgerouter for my Wifi Router. From there I configure my DNS on my router to use whatever I want. In my case, I have it going to my Pi-Hole that is configured to use Google DNS. I put a secondary DNS as 8.8.8.8 so that if my Pi-Hole goes down I can still get DNS resolution.

The only thing about doing this is needing to forward the port in two places

• on the WiFi router to the device
• from the edge router to the WiFi router

Your IPv6 connection shouldn't be dependent on you using AT&T's DNS servers. I use Cloudflare's DoT resolver service and haven't had any issues.
