RV042 responding to DNS requests from the internet

[captain15]

Hello;

My RV042 is responding to DNS requests from the internet. Is this supposed to happen? If not, how do I stop it from doing so?

Thank you,

David Kellett

Hi David, can you be more specific?

Here's is a nifty tool you can check out

Originally I was having trouble with a DNS attack slowing down my system. But when I had my ISP check things out after I stopped the attack I had them check to see if everything looked alright from their end and they informed me that my router was answering DNS requests from the internet, not just from my intranet. I need to know how to stop it from doing that. I do not want it answering DNS requests from the internet.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi David, so what DNS query is being sent and how did you confirm it is the router that is responding to it?
