16. What is DNS proxy?

If enabled, DNS Proxy allows the P-202H Plus v2 to act as the DNS server for
the local network. The P-202H Plus v2 gets the IP address of the actual DNS
server from the remote site via IPCP negotiation. Note this feature only works if
the remote site supports RFC 1877.

How do I turn on DNS Proxy?

DNS Proxy is enabled only if the selection of the DHCP field under DHCP Setup
in Menu 3.2 is Server and the Primary DNS Server is set to 0.0.0.0. (this is the
factory default). If the DNS Proxy is enabled, the P-202H Plus v2 will assign its IP
address as the Primary DNS in the responses to DHCP requests on the local
network.
