I can't get AdGuard do reverse lookups.

[wm-lowe]

All AdGuard is showing in the query log is the local IP addresses, no names. Like this:

For example, If I do a NSLOOKUP from any computer on my network, like nslookup 192.168.1.63, it returns:
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.4 <--- my AdGuard server

*** UnKnown can't find 192.168.1.63: Non-existent domain
But, If I point the request to my router, like this nslookup 192.168.1.63 192.168.1.1. It returns:
Server: Router.LOWEOAK.NET
Address: 192.168.1.1 <--- My router

Name: iPhone.LOWEOAK.NET
Address: 192.168.1.63
Why can't I get AdGuard to route that request properly?

Have you enabled rDNS and all the relevant settings?

[wm-lowe]

Yes, I've tried everything, I can think of. I'm at a loss. I've read and tried everything. I must be missing something.

How is dns configured on your router?

[Dynamic5912]

Is DNS configured on the LAN or WAN side to point to AGH?

[wm-lowe]

In the router? I uses No Redirection.
"No Redirection" will bypass a global redirection, and "Router" will force clients to use the DNS provided by the router's DHCP server

Asus router running Merlin?

[wm-lowe]

Yes. Router - RT-AC68U with ASUSWRT-Merlin ver 386.14_2

[Dynamic5912]

So you need to set your AGH IP as the DNS for you LAN (NOT WAN) DNS.

Then in DNS Director set the Global Redirection to Router.

Add the AGH device as a client and see it to No Redirection (so it doesn't cause a DNS loop).

This is the correct setup.

[wm-lowe]

I don't have the option to add "No Redirection" on Client list of my router. The fields are MAC, IP Address, DNS server, I removed the DNS Server and left it blank. It still only gives me the IP address on AGH. I did change the DNS director to "Router", as you suggested.

[Dynamic5912]

What router are you using?

And is it running Merlin (and if so what version) or stock Asus?

[wm-lowe]

Router - RT-AC68U with ASUSWRT-Merlin ver 386.14_2

[Dynamic5912]

So you should have the no redirection option to set on the device running AGH.

[wm-lowe]

The only place with "no Direction" is in the LAN DNS Director screen.

[Dynamic5912]

correct - per my screenshot in the other thread...

Set the LAN DNS to point to the AGH instance.

In DNS Director set the DNS to Router with an entry added for the AGH instance set to No Redirection.
