# DNS-Firewall

## **Status**

![dns-en-00.png](https://eblocker.org/wp-content/uploads/docs/360017302173-dns-en-00.png)

If you enable this feature, you can use your eBlocker to distribute DNS requests to a list of different DNS servers or have them resolved over the Tor-Network.

eBlocker Pro and Family customers will benefit from the domain blockers after activating this function.

There are three different options available to you.

**Internet Provider**

The setting of your local network is used here. This means that the DNS server is used, which you have stored in your router configuration.

**Tor Network**

Here, the DNS requests are routed through the Tor network and passed to a DNS server at the Tor Network starting point. Make sure Tor is available. You can check this in the IP Anonymization > Tor Network menu.

DNS requests over the Tor Network may take longer to complete.

**Custom list external DNS Server**

With this option you can store a list of DNS servers. This list can then be processed by the eBlocker in order of availability or in random order. You can create the individual DNS servers in the **DNS Server Custom List** tab.

**DNS cache**

The eBlocker uses an internal cache for DNS queries. In rare cases, emptying the cache can resolve problems if changes have been made to the settings.

## **DNS Servers Custom List**

Here you can create a list of DNS servers from external providers you trust.

![dns-en-04.png](https://eblocker.org/wp-content/uploads/docs/360017302173-dns-en-04.png)

Enter the IPv4 address of the desired DNS server directly using the **Add** button. To remove an entry, select **Edit**, select the line and select **Remove x Entries**.

## **Local Network**

The eBlocker DNS Server can be used to create your own meaningful entries for the home network. This allows you to name controllable devices in your home network via a web interface and call them up more quickly.

Instead of setup.eBlocker.com or its IP address, the eBlocker can then be reached under eblocker.box, for example.
