block dns request except from opendns

Mar 02 10 3:33 pm

wingate server under DNS resolver, DSL modem & LAN card are all set/bind to use wingate default dns & opendns.

seems everything works great, it blocks & allows what has been configured. but if i change dns settings in workstation using any public dns, wingate can no longer recognize the restricitions, in other words it gets bypass.

is there a way i could set wingate NOT to let workstations access or utilize other dns service aside from what i want to allow like opnedns? or to let all dns query pass thru wingate using opendns.

any idea guys. thanks

this has somehow block dns request from public dns

under Extended Networking > Port Security > LAN connection to Internet / Wingate PC <udp & tcp selected>
set port range 53-53, Redirect Packet to 192.168.0.1 <wingate> override port 53

seems working well, but if the public dns service port uses other than 53, thats another problem.

I don't think there are any DNS servers that use anything other than port 53, and I don't know if you can change a client to use a different port either (possibly by editing services file)

So you should be pretty safe with this one.
