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.

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.

Edit Windows DNS Settings

Open the Windows Network Connections menu. You can do this by right-clicking on the Start menu and selecting “Network Connections”.

Open the network connections

Click on Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and then click on the menu to change adapter options.

Adapter settings

Right-click on the network connection being used by the device and select properties.

Network device properties - Windows 10

Highlight the option 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and click on Properties.

Network device properties

Adjust the DNS addresses, using the Lumu DNS server addresses or the Lumu Virtual Appliance IPs in the Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server fields respectively.

Setting DNS server addresses

The Lumu DNS resolvers IPv4 addresses are:

50.17.0.10

3.87.85.24

Validate Your Settings

The final step is to verify that your DNS connections are correctly routed through Lumu. See Validate your new DNS Settings for more information.
