Hi, 

I have setup the WAN port on our AC750 (Archer C2) router to use OpenDNS and have disabled VPN passthrough to protect our Home network. 

I just can not find a way to add the firewall rule to block requests to port 53 for so to stop teenagers from adding their own DNS servers to their devices. 

This is a Simulator of the Router Interface

Any help will be appreciated.

  A quick look at the simulator doesn't show any option to create your own custom rules like this.

  If you think it's supposed to have that ability you should contact TP-Link support since they are the experts in how to use their router since this is a general router task, not something that is limited only to OpenDNS.

  Blocking port 53 passthrough may work.  Try this:

  Access Control  >  - Target   >  Add New

  • Mode:             IP Address
  • Description:  Port 53 passthrough low
  • IP Address:   0.0.0.0 - 208.67.220.122
  • Port:                53 - 53

  • Mode:             IP Address
  • Description:  Port 53 passthrough high
    
  • IP Address:   208.67.222.223 - 255.255.255.255
    
  • Port:                53 - 53
