DNS NAT

Hi !^^

There is a LocalDNS(ADGuard) which has 192.168.3.250 (blocking ADS etc)
Im using Sophos XG Home with SSLVPN which uses Local DNS as well.

Ive got a NAT policy which should Translate GOOGLE DNS addresses to my LocalDNS to prevent overpassing and to have adquard protection etc.

NAT policy looks like this:

 

As i understand all traffic requested to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 should be translated to my localDNS ?

If so, If im trying to ping googledns im getting Request timeout ;(

 

What im doing wrong thx for help :)

  • Hi Roman,

    let us examine what your are trying to do. NAT all DNS traffic, very good, but your firewall/NAT rule does not allow ping to your test will fail.

    If you want to test your DNS rule using ping you will  need to add ping to it.

  • Sure, Ive been testing it adding ping to NAT policy - no positive result. "Request time out" ;)
    So i should get responds while im pinging 8.8.8.8 Am I right ? Cuz with NAT implemented in XG i got a little bit confused ^^

  • Hi Roman,

    you will also need the ping in the firewall rule.

    A copy of my NAT rule, there is also a KBA on this subject.

  • So you are using this policy to NATing DNS traffic ? As I want ? -> if so its VERY weird from logical perspective as Sophos named it ^^

  • There is something wrong with my firewall rule. I changed it a week ago and since then it not working.

    Now that you raise that question, the logviewer shows the traffic as still going to 8.8.8.8 even after going through the NAT rule.

    I need to find the original document that I built the rule using that configuration.

  • Thank you for finding that video, that was part of what I was referring to and there should be a document showing step by step as shown in the video.

    I think I saw it in the EAP which is no  longer accessible. I am seeing the redirects, just not the translation.

    Hopefully one of the Sophos support staff will assist.
