I got some networking questions. Right now I have a router in which DHCP/DNS is turned off. I still use its WLAN functionality and the firewall.
- 1. A problem which bothers me is that when I use wireless devices I have to set e.g. static DNS 8.8.8.8 (or any other public DNS) in those devices as they will not find the amahi DNS. Any ideas what the problem may be?
2. From my RJ45-wired devices I can use amahi DNS. Yet, whenever I click on an app on the amahi-home landing page I get forwarded to the "This is the Internet home of amahi.net" only when I use IP:port I can access the services. Any idea why this is not working?
3. I would like to install iptables on my amahi machine to be able to turn off the firewall on my router. Now:- 3.1 Does anyone has experience with iptables on amahi - does that work?
3.2 When I turn off the firewall on the router: will all traffic physically first go through iptables or do data-packages take "shortcuts" (wlan and modem functionality provided by the device from my provider)?
- 3.1 Does anyone has experience with iptables on amahi - does that work?
best regards and merry x-mas
