How to setup netbois name as can only use rdp with ip address

micahmo commented 1 year ago

Hey @kylelliott, this is an interesting question. You can set the DNS server that the clients use to be the one on your network, like 192.168.1.1, as opposed to a public server like 8.8.8.8. However, you may be limited by the capabilities of your DNS server.

In my case, my router is my DNS server. It does not have a configurable domain name, using .local by default. And apparently DNS requests to .local are not routed through WireGuard (reference). So I was unable to get this working with my setup. If you had a more intelligent DNS server, then it would probably work.

Does that help?
