Hi there, I am currently blocked since several days on this issueā€¦ i tried some things, but unfortunately not working! šŸ˜Ŗ **My issue** : i have a UK Sky router ER115 and apparently i cannot have a NAT loopback. I have a domain (on [changeIP.com](http://changeIP.com)) with a letsencrypt certificate, and access on external network is OK. **But i cannot use this domain to access within my local network.** I tried to add dnsmasq via the ncp-TLI, but it does not workā€¦ Access via chromium send me ā€œERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSEDā€ And I do not want (unless it is mandatory) to add another rpi to install a DNS server (like pihole). Is this possible ? Is somebody can help me to understand ? Many thanks ---

I solved it in my case with a dnsmasq server, running on the nextcloud server. My router uses that dnsmasq as dns-server and suplies the network. The (local) IP-Address of my Server is stored in the dnsmasq ---

Split-horizon DNS is the best solution and the most efficient (traffic goes directly to NC instead of having to be received and re-sent at the router). About the only other possibility is manual hosts entry, but doesnā€™t work on some devices and will cause a headache if they leave home. ---

Thanks for your help. I ve already tested thisā€¦ Lets say: - router ip 192.168.0.1 - rpi nextcloudpi ip 192.168.0.20 - domain [test.mydomain.com](http://test.mydomain.com) In fact what i have right now as a config is - dnsmasq configured via ncp-tli - pointing to my router ip If i stay like this, not working If i add on my linux or win laptop hosts file : 192.168.0.20 [test.mydomain.com](http://test.mydomain.com) It is well working But i have some doubts on this configā€¦ As stated by @KarlF12 AND Still not working on android devices (as i do not know how to manually configure host) May you provide more tech info of your solution and provide your dnsmasq.conf ? ---

Many thanks Do you have an example of split horizon dns implementation ? My router is very limited, so this solution could be complicated to configure i guess ---

Sure: In my case I have two servers running on Ubuntu in a Network behind a Fritzbox Router. The Local Network is 192.168.188.0/23 That represents a subnet with an IP address range of 192.168.188.0 to 192.168.189.255 The servers (with- or without) internet access (DMZ) is located In the range 192.168.189.0/24 My private network uses the 192.168.188.0/24 ip-range. 192.168.189.1 - nextcloud, mysql, redis-server, dnsmasq 192.168.189.101 - clamd, dnsmasq, unison-replica of the nextcloud on 192.168.189.1 to create consistant backups As you see, I use 2 dnsmasq to be more redundant but it works with one as well. Since ubuntu uses systemd.resolved, I use the following configuration, which is on both servers almost the same. Here the config on 192.168.189.101: # systemd.resolved `man systemd-resolved.service` We have to change the behaviour of systemd.resolved. edit `/etc/systemd/resolved.conf` to make it look somhow like this: ```auto # My favorite DNS servers: DNS=80.80.80.80 9.9.9.9 DNSStubListener=no ``` Now remove `/etc/resolv.conf`, which is a symlink to `/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf` and make a static `/etc/resolv.conf`: ```auto echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf ``` This is to tell the host system to send its dns-queries to localhost, which now will be served by dnsmasq # dnsmasq `man dnsmasq` ### config files: `/etc/default/dnsmasq`: ```auto ENABLED=1 DNSMASQ_OPTS="--conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.conf.mine" CONFIG_DIR=/etc/dnsmasq.d,.dpkg-dist,.dpkg-old,.dpkg-new IGNORE_RESOLVCONF=yes ``` `/etc/dnsmasq.conf.mine`: ```auto domain-needed bogus-priv resolv-file = /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf server = /188.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.188.1 listen-address = 127.0.0.1 listen-address = 192.168.189.101 addn-hosts = /etc/dnsmasq.addn-hosts.local ``` `/etc/dnsmasq.addn-hosts.local` ```auto 192.168.188.1 fritzbox-7580.fritz.box fritzbox.fritz.box fritzbox fritz.box fritzbox-7580 home.box heimat.box 192.168.189.1 alias1 alias2 %MYNEXTCLOUDDOMAIN.TLD% 192.168.189.101 optiplex-380-0.fritz.box optiplex-380-0.fritzbox optiplex-380-0 255.255.255.255 broadcast ``` As you can see, the file `/etc/dnsmasq.addn-hosts.local` is now the ā€œhostsā€ file for all queries coming from within the local network. All other queries will be served with the results from the dns servers configured in `/etc/systemd/resolved.conf` Now you can do much more with dnsmasq. To redirect all queries from google websites to google dns, which is a bit faster, since it is their realm, add this lines to `/etc/dnsmasq.conf.mine`: ```auto server = /ytimg.com/8.8.8.8 server = /ytimg.com/8.8.4.4 server = /youtube.com/8.8.8.8 server = /youtube.com/8.8.4.4 server = /googlevideo.com/8.8.8.8 server = /googlevideo.com/8.8.4.4 server = /ggpht.com/8.8.8.8 server = /ggpht.com/8.8.4.4 server = /gvt3.com/8.8.8.8 server = /gvt3.com/8.8.4.4 server = /gvt2.com/8.8.8.8 server = /gvt2.com/8.8.4.4 server = /gvt1.com/8.8.8.8 server = /gvt1.com/8.8.4.4 server = /doubleclick.net/8.8.8.8 server = /doubleclick.net/8.8.4.4 server = /googlesyndication.com/8.8.8.8 server = /googlesyndication.com/8.8.4.4 server = /googleapis.com/8.8.8.8 server = /googleapis.com/8.8.4.4 server = /google.com/8.8.8.8 server = /google.com/8.8.4.4 server = /google.de/8.8.8.8 server = /google.de/8.8.4.4 server = /google.nl/8.8.8.8 server = /google.nl/8.8.4.4 server = /google.ch/8.8.8.8 server = /google.ch/8.8.4.4 ``` You can log all dns-queries dnsmasq makes to `tail -f` it live. Therefore create a logdir: ```auto mkdir /var/log/dnsmasq chown dnsmasq.adm /var/log/dnsmasq ``` apend this lines to `/etc/dnsmasq.conf.mine` ```auto log-queries log-facility = /var/log/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.log ``` In this case, you will have to setup a logrotate rule for that logfile: `/etc/logrotate.d/dnsmasq.log` ```auto size 100 M daily rotate 2 compress missingok notifempty postrotate service dnsmasq force-reload endscript } ``` Now you can watch dnsmasq live whyle doing its work: ```auto tail -F /var/log/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.log ``` I have the same configuration on the server 192.168.189.1, with the only diference is in `/etc/dnsmasq.conf.mine` ```auto listen-address = 192.168.189.1 ``` Finaly you have to configure your router to not automatically use the DNS server of the provider, but instead to use the DNS server(s) that you have set up (192.168.189.1 and 192.168.189.101 in my case) as the primary (and eventualy secondary) name servers. I hope I could help _Even though I have created this post with the greatest possible care, I know with certainty that I (as usual) made at least small mistakes. If you find any inaccuracies please point them out to me, I will correct them immediately if possible or your comment will be the correction._ Happy hacking ---

> [@marsjungle](#): > > UK Sky router ER115 You are not making it easy to me, I had to figure out what your ā€œrouterā€ can, and what not. There are no manuals in the web, i only found [this youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ0VdGAGYWo) which shows the options step by step. > [@marsjungle](#): > > Do you have any workaround for this ? Yes of course. Since there are always workarounds. As the video showed me, you can disable the dhcp function of your router. Now you only have to make dnsmasq your local DHCP-Server: omit this line from my above example `server = /188.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.188.1` add this lines to your `/etc/dnsmasq.conf.mine`: ```auto dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h dhcp-option=6,192.168.0.20 dhcp-option=option:router,192.168.0.1 ``` The `dhcp-range` line specifies the range of IP addresses that dnsmasq will assign to DHCP clients, and the lease time for those addresses is set to 12 hours. The `dhcp-option`: - The first line sets the DNS server to 192.168.0.20, which is the IP address of your dnsmasq server. - The second line sets the default gateway (router) to 192.168.0.1, which is the IP address of your router. With these options set, all clients connecting to the network via DHCP will receive the correct DNS and router settings. Please note that the advice given here is based on the information provided and is intended as a general guide only. It may not be applicable to your specific setup or environment. Additionally, this advice was not thoroughly tested by me first and is a ā€œshoot from the hipā€ suggestion. Therefore, it is important to test and fine-tune the configuration to ensure it works properly in your specific case. Furthermore, please be aware that if you choose to use dnsmasq as your local DHCP and DNS server, the host running dnsmasq must be online at all times. If it goes down or experiences any issues, your network may experience problems until the dnsmasq server is brought back online. ---

I finally found a solution to modify DNS route, but not sure it is working ! Do you have some linux commands to verify all the routes ? So i tried to apply your solutionsā€¦ Again, letā€™s say: - 192.168.0.1 is the router ip - 192.168.0.20 is the ncp ip - 192.168.0.50 is a machine ip **So on the ncp rpi 192.168.0.20, i modified the following file as is :** Here is my `/etc/systemd/resolved.conf`: ```bash DNS=9.9.9.9 #QUAD9 i guess! DNSStubListener=no ``` Here is my `/etc/resolv.conf`: ```auto nameserver 127.0.0.1 ``` Then my `/etc/default/dnsmasq`: ```auto ENABLED=1 DNSMASQ_OPTS="--conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.conf.mine" CONFIG_DIR=/etc/dnsmasq.d,.dpkg-dist,.dpkg-old,.dpkg-new IGNORE_RESOLVCONF=yes ``` My `/etc/dnsmasq.conf.mine`: ```auto domain-needed bogus-priv resolv-file = /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf server = /188.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.0.1 listen-address = 127.0.0.1 listen-address = 192.168.0.20 addn-hosts = /etc/dnsmasq.addn-hosts.local log-queries log-facility = /var/log/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.log ``` ā†’ One question however on the line `resolv-file = /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf`: it should that dnsmasq.service is returning an error (systemctl status dnsmasq.service). So i guess we should point to `/etc/resolv.conf` instead, right ? Then my `/etc/dnsmasq.addn-hosts.local`: ```auto 192.168.0.1 sky.box 192.168.0.20 %MYNEXTCLOUDDOMAIN.TLD% 255.255.255.255 broadcast ``` ā†’ Here i was completely lostā€¦ I tried to do this thing, but should not work as my undestanding here is limite. May you help me ? ā†’ I guess %MYNEXTCLOUDDOMAIN.TLD% should be replaced by the domain name? _In the end, i did not try for the moment your solution with DHCP_. My understanding is those lines replace the DHCP server from the box ? So all devices can have an IP@ ? Maybe i have to test the routes to see if the solution that iā€™ve found is working, no? Again, thanks a lot for your help ---

To resolve the hostnames provided by dhcp, but since your router does not seam to have the posibility to give static names, you can omit that line. > [@marsjungle](#): > > So i guess we should point to `/etc/resolv.conf` instead, right No. Try with `/var/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf` or better, look where it is located in your system. > [@marsjungle](#): > > I guess %MYNEXTCLOUDDOMAIN.TLD% should be replaced by the domain name?

You can implement split-horizon DNS with any DNS server (although perhaps not your router which may only be a DNS forwarder). Some of them have it has a built-in feature, but it can also be easily implemented by simply using your own server internally. For example, your phone is on your WiFi. It gets your local DNS server via DHCP. Your DNS server gives it the LAN IP in response to query for your Nextcloud FQDN. Your phone leaves your network. Now it uses some other DNS server that will ultimately give the public IP for the same FQDN. Thatā€™s split-horizon DNS in a nutshell. It will always get the appropriate IP automatically. > [@ernolf](#): > > > [@KarlF12](#): > > > > About the only other possibility is manual hosts entry > > Thatā€™s what dnsmasq is for, so that the ā€˜hostsā€™ file is configured only for the queries from inside of the network. No, the hosts file is an actual file in most operating systems that allows you to manually override name resolution for specific names.
