DNS over HTTPS
-
Heh... another question. It seems like I need to port forward port 53 on my network (keep in mind this is a home network) for it to work on devices on my own network. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm connecting to my DNS server via its external IP.

Quick question. How did you folks set this up? I can't seem to enable it using the admin interface. The settings just revert back on reload.
@atrilahiji That UI is a bit confusing. DNS over HTTPS should work by default, out of the box because it's enabled in the config file. I think that UI is for the case where one can provide their own certs and there is no reverse proxy (unlike cloudron).

@girish Ah I see. So I just had a friend try my DNS server after I forwarded port 53 and added my router IP as the only allowed IP in the admin UI whitelist. Seems like it didn't work for him so I guess me forwarding that port isn't an issue?

@atrilahiji You should configure the devices to connect via the LAN IP of your home server (and not by the public/external IP).
What I did was:
- Configured my router to give my Cloudron server a static internal IP.
- Configured router to publish DNS as the Cloudron server's IP above.
You can also test it first like this from another machine:
# host cloudron.io <cloudron-server-internal-ip> -

@girish Ahhh I ran into issues doing that but it was because I was restricting to the IP of my router. I did that because it was the only way off-network connections worked at all.
Fixed it. Thanks!
@atrilahiji Indeed, you have to whitelist your friend's IP and not router IP.
