Hi,

you should have the DNS on the Network -> DNS page. What are you using for your LAN devices, the internal XG interface address they talk to to?

ok tried changing the dns to my ISPs one instead of using googles dns but still the same result, i cant resolve hostnames, maybe it needs an internal dns on the LAN?

Hi,

that was what I asked, what are you usng for your internal DNS?

I use the interface IP address as the DNS, but as you can see from the screenshoot you can change that.

Network -> DHCP when you open your DHCP server settings.

If you choose to use the devices dns, you will need to add a rule to allow lan devices access to port 53 .
