UniFi FINALLY added DNS - How to add DNS records to Dream Machine Pro 8.2.93

UniFi has Finally added custom DNS records in their latest update for the dream machine pro. I have been waiting for this to come out for a long time! In this video I will be walking through the new features and discussing some common use cases, including how I will be implementing them.

Saw the title and instantly jumped to update my UDM-Pro to update. Thank you for the heads up!

Saw the title. I got jealous because I have a UDR. Then I just logged in to my router and there it was the 8.2.93 waiting for my UDR. I started the update, and it seems that DNS Server is a thing for UDR too!!! Great video as always.

Love this, as I use Adguard Home, I would love to see more custom blocklist and custom DNS rules.

Great video as always!
One thing that's missing on YouTube, is an instructions video on how to use Ubiquiti camera (NVR) and have it save images and/or videos on the NAS in case of motion detection. Might not be possible, but it should be!

So glad they have forwarded domains so we can use active directory servers properly, yay!!

fantastic video and I jumped onto my UDM and configured DNS. Now working on some use cases where I can use this in combination of pihole

Thank you for all of your interesting and helpful videos. 😊

Bought one of these a while back and havnen't had the chance to set it up yet. THANKS!

Video with a huge payload punch of knowledge. DNS the backbone of everything

[philippwaller]

Great feature! The last puzzle peace is an API for automated DNS record management. Then I can finally retire my dnsmasq.

Thanks for the videos, Network Stiffler

Great video, will look in to the new DNS option in DMP. Furthermore, the best way to run DNS (like adguard/pihole ) is on kubernetes. Then you can reboot a node and you will not be down.

This is awesome news. Really great video. 🥳

Thanks for a great video ⭐️ Christmas is coming early this year.

Nice they offer this now. Personally I have Adguard as my DNS running on my server then my UCGU has a second dns if my adguard goes down to a openDNS server.

Any chance the custom DNS records settings will be coming to USG-3P (or UXG-Lite or UXG-Max)?

I don't see the DNS pane under "Routing" after upgrading to 8.2.93. (Running locally installed controller + USG-3P)

correction: "Running DNS locally is THE SAFEST experience to survive the internet of the 2020's and above".
I run a local Bind9 full root-resolver (NOT FORWARDER) feeding a pihole with more than 1Mi blocked sites.
When I go out of my home without this kind of security, I feel naked.

[MrSunDevil]

A caching DNS server would be really great especially for home/SMB users.

[corporateGuy]

I'm totally new to networking - is there anything wrong with just putting a single word without a domain - for example just type "//NAS" and it resolves to my NAS ip address? It seems to work but doesn't seem like the right way to do things.

Can you do more videos on this all? Reverse proxy to be exact. Thanks
