changing IPv6 DNS server in Jio Fiber router

[biscut0803]

Hi!
I was able to find and change the IPv4 DNS severs in the Jio Fiber router settings but not for IPv6. since the last update it has become very complicated and hidden to change WAN configs, but anyways I was able to find the IPv6 WAN configuration settings but when I pressed save to save the updated DNS servers it says the entered DNS servers are invalid, I wanted to change my IPv6 DNS servers to cloudlfare's IPv6 servers, kindly request you to help me with this issue, also I'm getting massive packet loss with Jio servers as high as 70-80%.
Thank you in advance.

you can't change ipv6 dns.

@romil123 but then how will I use cloudflare DNS services?

 

[romil123]

for android phone use private dns, for pc browser use dns-over-https

@biscut0803 CloudFlare IPv4 DNS will also reply IPv6 Addresses when queried.

You were doing it wrong. You need to change the LAN side ipv6. Im using pihole using this way and all devices connected to the router will pick up the setting when you reconnect them. There is a bug in the router that changes dns from use below to dns proxy everytime you reboot so dont reboot the router. FYI you can change wan side as well but then landline wont work.

@JB701 It does but devices connected prefer ipv6 and hence only use the ipv4 dns address when the ipv6 is too slow or times out.

@ackr8 I am using pi hole and changed the dns of both ipv4 and ipv6 but it doesn't seem to work for ipv6

I am facing this exact bug. IPv6 DNS revert to DNS proxy on reboot of Jio Gateway.

When I change DNS, it asks for domain name on the same page, what has to be entered in that?

you can leave it empty. else just enter anything, it won't harm your subject config.

I tried to leave empty, it won’t let me do that. So i entered local in there, both for ipv4 and ipv6.
