I have posted already how to prevent hijacking of your DNS by your IP. There are some ISP's like Verizon, T-Mobile, ... which do send all traffic over port 53 (yes, they hijack your DNS), regardless of which DNS servers you use. Here is how to get rid of that and redirect it to some another address with help of iptables instead editing dnsmasq in WebIF (which is still my preferable solution for most tasks), in this example I'll redirect all dns requests to my custom dns server, to lan1 in this case, which is my local DNS Server Openwrt (I think ddwrt should work too, but I did not test it on ddwrt but basicly it should be the same, just check the names of devices) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.1 On openwrt and other releases, switch on masquerading, it is required. Now a question to TorGuard, do you/can you offer alternative ports for those who maybe can't use first method described, neither this second solution. To find out what is going on through your DNS port, read here.
