DNS LAN Configuration on Workstations
These DNS configuration recommendations are to be applied to the workstations in the local network. For DNS settings of the active network equipment (e.g. Router) see: Router Settings - DNS - Open LAN Ports for Secure Local and Remote Access.
DNS of Work Terminals
All PCs must use the router's DNS (usually 192.168.1.1, depending on their network segment).
Do not use Google DNS, OpenDNS or any other external provider as they compromise the security and stability of the system.
Remember to check first with your network consultant what is the local DNS address of your router.

DNS Browser
Disable "Secure" DNS on Edge, Firefox, Chrome Browsers: It is necessary to disable Secure DNS options on browsers as traffic is redirected by the browser provider's servers. Follow this guide to turn off or disable Secure DNS at the Browser level: https://techdocs.akamai.com/etp/docs/disable-doh-browsers
It is recommended that all computers on the network have a fixed IP assigned to them. In case your company has Novohit installed on-premises, they must be from the same server segment.
Check that there are no other VPNs
Verify that you do not use other VPNs that are provided by your browser plugins or security system services (Bitdefender, Symantec, Apple Relay)
When Finished: Flush DNS and Restart Windows
When finished, clean the Windows DNS with this command from the Command Prompt:
- > ipconfig /flushdns
Restart Windows.
