Is it possible to specify more thant one DNS address in the DNS field for manual network config ?
David
Do you mean a secondary DNS?
Yes
Reason:
I am hosting AdGuard on ZimaOS and this is the only DNS configured (by manual config). Yesterday i got a notification that there is a new AdGuard container version. I tried to apply the upgrade but since ZimaOS wasn’t configured with a proper seconday dns, the upgrade failed.
I believe you have an architectural issue there, you should use a clean and unfiltered DNS server for your system reason being for that is that you wouldn’t get any type of connectivity restriction with Torrent clients, tunneling services and remote connectivity if you happen to have any IP block being potentially blacklisted.
Adblock services is designed for user browsing and host internet surfing, while your infrastructure services such as routers, VPN servers, selfhosted services and external connectivity daemons should get a reliable and lean DNS service - eg. your ISP router, Cloudflare or Google servers.
Lastly, you’re already experiencing the consequence of bad network design when virtualizing your own host connectivity dependency on the host itself. Sure, it will work but it is definitely not the most wise decision.
As for the secondary DNS option I believe it’s a good suggestion as the user would be given the option to a more reliable connectivity in case of DNS issues and that makes sense.
Tagging @Zima-Giorgio to consider bringing this suggestion to IceWhale’s team as a potential feature for the future.
