DNS for host

[avidesh]

Hi, I have installed openWRT on my proxmox. I used static ip address of openWRT (192.168.1.1) as DNS for proxmox host. I am unable to access internet from proxmox host. I am able to access internet from all other clients of openWRT.

up on investigating further, I noticed that the using openWRT static ip as DNS for proxmox was causing the issue. When I added a secondary DNS 8.8.8.8 proxmox host was able to connect to internet.

What did I do wrong while using openWRT host as DNS for proxmox host?

Hey,

is the OpenWRT VM also the gateway, or do you just use it as a DNS? Can you ping the OpenWRT VM from your PVE host? Are they on the same network? Could you also post the outputs of these three commands

cat /etc/network/interfaces

ip a

qm config <vmid>

<vmid> is the ID of your OpenWRT VM.

hi @avidesh did you solve the problem?
I'm having the same issue, but even defining 8.8.8.8 as a dns provider in proxmox doesn't help.
