Beginner in OpenWRT : Can't set Adguard home as my DNS for all my networks

Hi,

I am new to OpenWRT and managed to have my network configured as well as a guest network. Now I'm trying to put everything behind Adguard Home. I tried to follow this guide : https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/dns/adguard-home#installation

But after doing so I have 2 problems :

  1. The guest network no longer have DNS access (so no internet)

  2. OpenWRT doesn't have internet access (so it can't download opkg packages for example)

Adguard works only for my main network. Could someone help me to set it up properly ? I can't find how.

I made a post about this with my whole config : https://forum.openwrt.org/t/adguard-home-as-my-primary-dns-doesnt-work-for-guests/155083

By the way, I am new to OpenWRT so if you see errors or bad things in my config, or have tips to improve it, I'm very interested.

Thanks in advance for any answer, have a great day

I don’t see the config for AGH itself. Did you configure it properly first?

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I configured it properly, I did the initial config. But the problem is that during this initial config, I can only choose 1 interface on which AGH will listen for the DNS.

I couldn't find those setting anywhere in Adguard unless in the initial configuration that I can no longer access. What was listed was the interfaces and networks I have here in my config file, which means I had to choose between br-lan and br-guest. I chose br-lan. But I couldn't find a way to make it work for both br-lan, br-guest and the internal openwrt internet access for its features. So technically I think AGH works as expected, but I have a problem for adapting my network to be fully compatible.

My adguardhome config file only contains this : 

config adguardhome config
        # Where to store persistent data by AdGuard Home
        option workdir /var/adguardhome

And this folder only contains : 

root@OpenWrt:/tmp/adguardhome/data# ls
filters      sessions.db  stats.db

So I'm not sure how to access the settings from outside of AGH

I don't have a guest network, but I did install Adguard and now can't download opkg just like you. Let me know if you get a fix.
