Circumventing DNS within the ACCESS CONTROL?

  Come across something interesting within the access control part where you can see all the domains and ip addresses.

  I’ve started to notice that DNS numbers are appearing within the access control part, does this mean if you select a DNS provider you want to use and somehow different DNS numbers appear within the list of the access control, will those domains and IP addresses circumvent through the DNS listed within the access control?

  If so,

  Does that mean your OWN ISP provider, if entered into the whitelist part of the GUI

  technically the ISP DNS could then be used as a DOH DNS tunneling through HTTPS?

  Basically, if you enter an IP address into the white list, you’re allowed to visit that IP. If Access Control is enforced in a profile, then all users in that profile will be forced to use the DNS defined for the profile.

  just a follow up with the whitelist part and ISP DNS

  If one was to enter the ISP DNS into the whitelist section without the “Access Control is Enforced” part enabled, would the ISP DNS be classed as DOH “if” the Internet Link section DOH servers have been enabled?

  @bolozinaction The router enables DOH for the built-in selections. If your ISP supports DOH, you need to add a “Custom Entry” for the ISP DNS with the URL for DOH (on the Internet page).
