The Hillstone device acts as a DNS proxy server and provides proxy service for the connected PCs and other clients.
To enable a DNS proxy, take the following steps:
- Configure a DNS proxy list that contains domain names and corresponding DNS servers.
- Enable DNS proxy on an interface of the Hillstone device (for more details, see Configuring an Interface).
- Connect the client to the interface with DNS proxy enabled.
In the Server and Proxy page, you can execute the following tasks:
- Click New in the DNS Proxy section to create a new DNS proxy.
- Click Edit in the DNS Proxy section to edit the selected DNS proxy.
- Click Delete in the DNS Proxy section to delete the selected DNS proxies.
