Advanced DNS config

Josh edited this page Feb 19, 2025 · 7 revisions

If you want to have the NoPE DNS server resolve real hostnames from a different DNS server than the preconfigure DNS server inside NoPE (i.e. google's DNS at 8.8.8.8), Then you need to add or modify one of NoPE's properties files.

Note this change only has an effect when "Use the Above 'DNS Response IP' ..." is unchecked.

  1. Navigate to the following Path (windows or *NIX). ~/.NoPEProxy/
  2. Edit the dns.properties file.
  3. Add or Modify the variable extDNS to your specific DNS server.

autoStart=false
interface=0
dnsport=53
extDNS=208.67.222.222

Note if running as root on OSX, the properties file is located at ./System/Volumes/Data/private/var/root/.NoPEProxy/dns.properties
