Hi, I am using ( https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Force_users_to_use_specified_DNS_server) for redirecting all Clients to forcefully use DNS 208.67.222.222 · 208.67.220.220
But I want to exclude one Client to use google dns 8.8.8.8
I have created src nat rule and filter rule (jump) ; placed at 1st position; but then also client is not able to use 8.8.8.8 AND all its dns request are redirecting to 208.67.222.222 · 208.67.220.220
Please guide
Take rules from that article and add either src-address=! (if it’s just one) or src-address-list=! (if it’s more than one and you added them to address list ).
And next time post exact rules, because it’s not clear from your description what exactly you did.
That is a strange WIKI document and not sure if the person writing it had a wandering mind…
From the WIKI
In /ip firewall nat
add chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=192.168.88.1 to-ports=53 protocol=tcp dst-port=53
add chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=192.168.88.1 to-ports=53 protocol=udp dst-port=53
From Trainer Anav yuck yuck yuck…
add action=redirect chain=dstnat comment=
“Force Users to Router for DNS - TCP” disabled=yes dst-port=53 protocol=
tcp src-address-list=!VLAN_Interfaces
add action=redirect chain=dstnat comment=
“Force Users to Router for DNS - UDP” disabled=yes dst-port=53 protocol=
udp src-address-list=!VLAN_Interfaces
What is the difference between these two???
and is what your suggesting…
add action=redirect chain=dstnat comment=
“Force Users to Router for DNS - TCP” disabled=yes dst-port=53 protocol=
tcp src-address=![sourceIPaddress_exception]
add action=redirect chain=dstnat comment=
“Force Users to Router for DNS - UDP” disabled=yes dst-port=53 protocol=
udp src-address=![sourceIPaddress_exception]
OP wants redirection to external server, so action=redirect won’t work here (it’s for redirecting to local service on router).
Hi Thanks for reply:
Please find the configuration for IP and Firewall.
The Client IP 10.38.7.19 need to exclude all filters/firewall and need to map to WAN ip - 10.38.0.76
and lan network 10.38.6.0/23 will src-nat to 10.38.0.10
I have created 2 entries in ip-nat field and 2 - entries in ip-filter field. The traffic from 10.38.7.19 should have more priority than others and DNS should not be redirected; whereas all other clients dns traffic need to redirect to Router dns ip - 10.38.7.1
Please check and correct me if any error is there.

You missed exception for tcp dns redirection, but otherwise it should do what you want.
