Set up your DNS to Lumu - Windows 10

Configure DNS in Windows 10

Setting up DNS forwarding on a Windows 10 device is the configuration suggested for testing purposes. We recommend you configure your DNS server or your router to take the most advantage of Lumu Continuous Compromise Assessment on your entire network.

This guide will walk you through the DNS configuration process for a Windows 10 operating system.

Requirements

  1. A device running a Windows 10 operating system.
Remember that for using Lumu DNS servers through Lumu Gateways collectors, you first need to register your public IP address or group of IPs as a gateway for your company at the Lumu Portal before configuring your DNS. If you are using Lumu Virtual Appliance (VA) as a DNS resolver, remember first to deploy and configure your VA.
