Hi,

I installed DNSMasq out of curiosity. By default it suggest the below. Is the DHCP range correct?

Did you choose the WAN interface? Because there’s not a private IP address…

They are public IP addresses.
They are generated from the choosen network interface. Perhaps you are using it on a VPS?

If your server has multiple interfaces it could perfectly be the case Markus says.

Yep…

Sorry for the noise!

So I forgot my own little ‘dummy network’ trick So I created a dummy interface on my 1 node cluster and it is getting me somewhere

So i added some quick NS8 dummy interface notes here:

It’s worth mentioning that the installed module is just for local area networks (LANs); Dnsmasq isn’t intended for cloud environments.

Why dummy interface?

LayLow · March 30, 2024, 10:08am

Because my VPS (Contabo hosted) has only 1 ethernet interface .
