Domains are not HTTPS, HTTP, FTP, or anything else. Those are all protocols and DNS does not know about protocols, let alone care about them. It only deals with domain names, and if the domain you are trying to block is included in a blocked category, or individually blocked then it will be blocked regardless of the protocol used.
I have a Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 successfully flashed with DD-WRT v23 sp2. I have 4 LAN clients connected to it (3 with static DHCP IP addresses and one with a dynamic IP). One of the static client is a web server. I registered a domain name (let it be mydomain.com for the example). A Canonical Name record specifes that a domain name is an alias for another domain, the “canonical” domain. To specify that the web server also doubles as the FTP server, one might use: uci add dhcp cname uci set dhcp. @ cname [-1].cname= "ftp.example.com" uci set dhcp. @ cname [-1].target= "www.example.com" uci commit dhcp / etc / init.d Prefetch Domain; Enable pre-fetching of domain names with prefetch-domain yes to improve query hit rate. by default, Smartdns will send domain query request again before cache expire, and cache the result for the next query. Frequently accessed domain names will continue to be cached. This feature will consume more CPU when idle. Serve Expired OpenDNS is a free DNS (Domain Name Server) service which makes internet browsing safer and allegedly faster. By simply using their DNS servers instead of your ISP's you are automatically protected from their list of Phishing websites.
Jan 10, 2011 · One of the (many) nice things about DD-WRT is that it has a built-in, lightweight DNS server that you can use as a DNS forwarder. Also, one of the primary things that controls how “fast” a network feels for you is the amount of time it takes to resolve a domain name.
Note: A time server is hard-coded into the DD-WRT firmware. If you enable the NTP Client (that's the default setting) but leave the Server IP/Name field blank, your router will synchronize anyway. If you enable the NTP Client (that's the default setting) but leave the Server IP/Name field blank, your router will synchronize anyway. Oct 10, 2011 · What is DNSMasq? DNS (Domain Name System) is often compared to a phone book for the Internet. When you type in a web address, the name of the website is truly linked to a string of numbers that represent that website’s location or IP Address. Of course, the system is a bit more complex than that but what is important is DNSMasq is a local DNS server that speeds up host-name searches from The necessary .ovpn file will be generated, as well as the chosen VPN server domain name. II. Set up DD-WRT OpenVPN® client . Once your router is configured for your ISP, and everything else is just how you like it, you can start the DD-WRT OpenVPN® setup. Follow these few simple steps: 1. Open your DD-WRT router interface. In DD-WRT, go to Services->DNSMasq (Enable) In the DNSMasq box, enter each hostname in the following format, one per line: address=/localhost/127.0.0.1 After applying settings, and if DNS is not cached, you should be able to resolve the new names.
There’s a good chance you haven’t noticed this setting in DD-WRT because it’s not something most people would ever think to use. Plus DNSMasq can be found in two different areas within DD-WRT since it can be used for both DHCP assignments as well as internal/local DNS management. What I will be focusing on is the local DNS aspect.

Also, one of the primary things that controls how “fast” a network feels for you is the amount of time it takes to resolve a domain name. Before following this guide, you will need to install DD-WRT on your router. To do this, you will need to go to the DD-WRT router database and search for your router model number to see if your router is compatible or find a beta build of the firmware for your router. But in the meantime, I can access my blog with its fully qualified domain name from both my Intranet and Internet and now a bit more about DNS configuration :p Notice: You can have a lot of troubles while testing the various settings on the DD-WRT as many values are cached either on the Synology, or on your PC.
