r/technitium

This might be a total shot in the dark and an unusual request, but I have Technitium doing split DNS for my public facing homelab services when I'm in the house.

Problem is out of the house, my Wireguard clients then use these split DNS records too when I really only need them to use it for my stuff not exposed to the internet.

It would be cool if I could somehow exclude these records when a request comes from the Wireguard client. I thought of hosting a separate instance just for this, but figured it was worth asking first.

Using Technitium DNS Server v15.4

I've setup a cluster with a primary and a single secondary server. I have used mydomain.local for the cluster domain name and I have mydomain.co.nz as the zone I'm using for my lan. The cluster creation appears to have completed successfully and I have zones for cluster-catalog.mydomain.local and mydomain.local created on both servers.

mydomain.co.nz exists on the primary server with all of its associated records but it isnot being replicated on the secondary server. The dns sever logs on primary show zone transfer requests for the .local domains but nothing for the .co.nz domain. Zone transfer for the .co.nz domain on the primary server is set to allow all.

On the secondary I tried using the dns Client to import the zone from primary but this resulted in the zone being created with only the SOA, NS and @ A record being created.

What else is required to enable the full zone transfer for mydomain.co.nz (or am I not understanding how the clustering functions)?

Hey folks, I have two Technitium servers, one's running in a Proxmox LXC, the other is on a physical Dell Wyse client.

I was wondering, what do you guys set the DNS servers for the actual Linux OS to?

Currently I have each Linux install server pointing at each other for primary DNS, and at 9.9.9.9 for the secondary.

Does this seem right? Curious what others are doing?

Cheers

Hello!

I guess I've begun my homelab journey and I'm seeking help from you all if you have done this before....

Before I start...Yes I am aware of the downsides of a virtual firewall. Please do not give me crap about "ohhh it should run on a separate bare metal system" or "you should invest in a real firewall"....give me the money to purchase a hardware firewall then...

Now...I have a Dell Precision T5500 that has basically assumed the role of my home server....it will be utilized as a local NAS, Firewall, DHCP and encrypted DNS server. It has three NICs....one for WAN, another for trusted LAN devices and a third for Guest/Untrusted/Cameras. I've set up proxmox on it with OPNsense as a VM and Technitium DNS in a container as the DNS server. OPNsense also behaves as the DHCP server for all devices connecting to the network. It works...my router that is in AP mode issues the IP addresses from OPNsense perfectly. The problem is getting the OPNSense DHCP server to use the DNS IP of the Technitium DNS container. Basically, I can't get my devices to use the Technitium DNS resolver without manually adding that IP in on EACH DEVICE. They just go back to using the WAN DNS which I do not want. How can I get OPNsense's DHCP server to point the DNS IPs to the Technitium DNS container, so all devices can use it without manual config and I can block ads/trackers network wide?

Hi, i want to ask if anyone have any way to enfoce safe search for the technitium?

i know adguard has one click feature for it but i haven't seen or aware of such feature in technitium, i'd love to know if there's a way to do it.
