Point your router or box to Warda

01The method, for every router

1. 1Give the box a fixed address: in the DHCP of the router, reserve an address for Warda ("static lease" or "reservation"). Network → Network analysis shows the address to give.
2. 2Try on one device first: set the address of Warda as its DNS, browse a few minutes; the ads go and the device shows in Devices.
3. 3Then the whole network: in the DHCP of the router, the address of Warda as the only DNS server, the second one empty. The devices take it at their next connection (turn the Wi-Fi off and on).

02A box that does not let you change the DNS

Some boxes always give their own DNS. Then let Warda give the addresses: Let Warda give the addresses of the network (DHCP) in the assistant, turn the DHCP server of the box off, and Warda checks that no other one answers before it starts.

03Freebox, Livebox, SFR Box, Bbox

• Freebox: Freebox OS → Freebox settings, advanced mode, DHCP: the address of Warda as the only DNS server. For IPv6, the tab IPv6 DNS (verified).
• Livebox: it does not let you change the DNS it gives. Turn its DHCP server off (Network, DHCP) and let Warda give the addresses.
• SFR Box: the same as the Livebox: its DHCP server off, Warda gives the addresses.
• Bbox: the settings of its DHCP server accept a DNS server on most models (the menus change with the model: Must, Ultym, Fit…). Without that field, Warda gives the addresses.
• Do the IPv6 part too: a box that announces its own IPv6 DNS lets the devices go around Warda.

04Check that it works

From a computer of the network, ask Warda a name of advertising, with the address of your box in place of the example: the answer must be the address of Warda (the block page) or 0.0.0.0. In Reports → Query log, each device must show with its own name, not one single address for all.
