How to setup KiboshDNS

 

Preface: DNS is the phonebook for the internet and every router in the world requires DNS to work.

Most WiFi routers allow you to change these DNS numbers, BUT if your ISP equipment does not allow the changing of the DNS – you can easily replace the ISP router with your own personal router. 

If this is your situation – consider the Kibosh MT6000 and use the coupon code dns2025 for 15% off. 

Kibosh DNS Server IP – 

  1. 209.124.51.246
  2. 209.124.51.245

!!! Internet Filtering will only work for active Kibosh Accounts  – (sign up for a free 14 day free trial). 

Start here: 

Phase 1: Install Kibosh DNS Server IP on your WiFi Router.

Phase 2: Install KiboshDNS Browser-plugin, and then Activate.

Phase 3: Enable KiboshDNS status monitoring.  

Troubleshooting.

 

Phase 1: Install Kibosh DNS Server IP on your WiFi Router –

  1. To do this  you will need to find IP address of the WiFi router you’re using now, and type this IP into a browser (chrome, firefox, edge, etc), which will open the Admin Login of your WiFi gateway router – this is where you set Kibosh Server IP.
    • How to find WiFi gateway router IP (in order of recommendation)
      1. Check underneath your router usually Gateway Admin IP address is listed there (and hopefully the password). 
      2. Try the following defaults – most routers use one of these:
        • type each one of these into your browser (http://192.168.0.1)– if you get a login screen that’s it:
        • 192.168.0.1
        • 192.168.1.1
        • 192.168.1.254
        • 10.0.10.1
        • 10.0.0.1
    • If you still haven’t found your modem/router login, do a Google search for your ‘[router model] admin login’.
  2. Once you’ve logged into your existing WiFi Router –
    • Locate Domain Name Server Settings
      • These are usually found under advanced settings, or advanced networking, or WAN config.
      • Ask Google using “router model + change DNS“
  3. Enter Kibosh DNS Server IP and Save Changes (wait 5 -10 min). 
  4. How to verify Kibosh is working to go test.kibosh.com from any device. 

Phase 2: Install KiboshDNS Browser-plugin, and then Activate –

  1. Log into your DNS Client Portal (Kibosh.com/login) – on a PC that does not leave the home/office (ideally, but not necessary). 
  2. Go to DNS > Agents Tab
  3.  Select ‘Download Extension for this Browser and Install
    • Chrome, FireFox, Brave, Edge
  4. Enter your DNS ID & Password as shown
    • Client Portal > DNS > Agents:
  5. Click Validate
    • If validation is successful:

 

Phase 3: Enable KiboshDNS status monitoring – 

Access to KiboshDNS’s Internet Security Service is predicated on your WAN IP being registered with our servers. This is what the Browser Agent does – ensures your WAN IP is always registered.

If you would like to be alerted to any potential issues with your Browser Agent(s), you can setup alerts by:

  1. Log into your DNS Client Portal (kibosh.com/login)
  2. Go to DNS > Settings
  3. Enable Alerts
    • Enter an email(s) to receive KiboshDNS status emails 
    • Save Changes

Now if your any of your KiboshDNS Browser Agents fail you will be notified. 

 

Troubleshooting:

test.kibosh.com test failed = KiboshDNS will always work IF you have access to Kibosh’s Internet Security Infrastructure, which is granted by installing the Kibosh Browser Agent as noted above (phase 3), and you have put Kibosh DNS IP servers on your WiFi router (phase 1). 

KiboshDNS – OFF = 2 possible scenarios:

    1. If your PC is connected to the WiFi router that you want to install Kibosh DNS on, and KiboshDNS Agent is showing KiboshDNS-OFF….this means you have not successfully completed Phase 1 above
    2. You are using a different WiFi router that does not have KiboshDNS installed.
