Hello. Could you please add the following information:
test
show up on the “Client settings” page? An anonymised screenshot also would be useful.Thanks!
Hi!
thanks for your reply and sorry for the late reply from my side.
This is a screenshot from the upstream servers (the private IP is the dnsmasq server running on the same raspi where AdGuard is installed but in different port.)
I have also setup the reverse DNS server but I'm not sure if this is required.
Yes test (actually is a real host in my private network, a raspberry PI destined for testing purposes) exists in the clients page.
Thanks in advance for your time. Kind Regards
Thanks for the thorough response. It seems like Windows's ping
automatically adds .local
TLD unless you add a dot in there to make it look like an FQDN. I'm not sure if there is a better solution, but you can add this in your Custom filtering rules:
||test.local^$dnsrewrite=NOERROR;CNAME;test
You could also try adding this rule for .local
upstreams:
[/local/]192.168.2.11:5353
Please let us know if that helps.
Hi!
thanks for your prompt reply!
Custom rule didn't work the same with the upstream.
There is a interesting remark here. I noticed that the linux hosts (raspberrys) reply to the ping from the windows machine even without the dot(.). At the same time, there is another one raspberry running a light version of linux that doesn't. The other hosts (IP cameras, routers e.t.c.) reply only if there is a dot(.) at the end of their name. Again, I don't understand why dnsmasq setup worked without the dot.
I'm also attaching the dnsmasq conf for you references and checking.
port=5353
listen-address=127.0.0.1
listen-address=192.168.2.11
bind-interfaces

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Sorry for the bot misbehaving and for the long silence. Unfortunately, I really can't think of any ways to work around this, if the $dnsrewrite
didn't work.
For now, the best I can do is mark this issue as needs-help
and also probably document this WIndows' nslookup
peculiarity somewhere.
It's OK, I haven't looked into it for a long time now. It's working as it is even with the .(dot) following the name. Maybe in the future I will review every bit of my setup in hope that I will find something's wrong.
Thanks!
Hi,
I just installed in my raspberry AdGuard home and so far I'm very satisfied. I just noticed a weird behavior comparing with my previous setup which was using dnsmasq as DNS caching and DHCP server.
I was using expand-hosts option to resolve some local clients using unqualified names instead of their IP. For example, I was able to ping a host using just a simple name (i.e. test) instead of its IP.
When I installed AdGuard I changed my setup of dnsmasq to do only IP-->hostname mapping to my local network hosts and setup accordingly the AdGuard (using the dnsmasq IP as upstream).
While I'm able to ping everything as before (using just a name) from my windows PC I have to add the "." suffix in order to find the host. For example
ping test.
instead ofping test
I didn't have to do the same with dnsmasq and I'm wondering why.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
