Microtik: Removing ISP DNS servers
March 18, 2024If your ISP provides DNS servers by default, Microtik will use them even if you have a custom DNS server.
Doing a /ip dns print
will show this in dynamic-servers
field:
1[admin@ATik-Pro-1G] /ip/dns> print 2servers: 1.1.1.1 3dynamic-servers: xxx.x.xxx.xx,xxx.xxx.xxx.xx <--- From ISP 4use-doh-server: 5verify-doh-cert: no 6...
To disable this completely, set use-peer-dns=no
on your WAN interface's DHCP
client:
1/ip dhcp-client set 0 use-peer-dns=no
Results:
1[admin@ATik-Pro-1G] /ip/dns> /ip dns print 2servers: 1.1.1.1 3dynamic-servers: <--- No more! 4use-doh-server: 5verify-doh-cert: no 6...
This will ensure your custom DNS server is always used, instead of your ISP's.
