Hi. So I have spent fair bit of time trying to configure unblock-us DNS servers on the Fritz!box 7390. Went to Internet > Account Info > DNS Server. Entered both DNS fields with info provided by unblock-us. Save and restart the modem. Restart the machine. Try and access speedtest.net or any other US based app and it still see's my ISP as Snap.

I did some searches online and this seems to be a common issue with fritz!boxes where it's assigning it's local IP address as DNS server address on the clients itself which I can confirm as the machine states 192.168.1.1 for the DNS server when on the fritz!box itself it's unblock-us details.

Anyone with a fritz!box using unblock-us service? I have 84.05.22 firmware intstalled which came out of the box.

I just want to be able to feed unblock-us DNS on all clients via the router level which should work. just not on fritz!boxes!




Do whatever you want to do man.

As the Fritz!box runs DNSmasq internally as a DNS server I suspect it's caching the requests prior to you changing the DNS.
