Unknown – What does this mean?

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.k

    ibosh.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. 

Unknown –

If your DNS Client Portal shows Unknown – 

This means that none of your installed KiboshDNS Browser Agent(s) have registered your WAN IP in over an hour. 

NOTE: This does NOT mean filtering has stopped.

However, if your KiboshDNS Browser Agent(s) do not register your WAN IP, there is a chance your WAN IP has changed, inside that hour (a very low chance), which would then lead to a non-filtering Internet scenario. 

How to resolve: EASY: simply install / re-install the KiboshDNS Browser Agent on PC(s) that never (or rarely) leave the home/office.

NOTE: the goal here is to ensure that if / when your WAN IP changes – your KiboshDNS Client Portal knows about it. For it is your WAN IP that grants you access to Kibosh’s Internet Security Service. 

Ultimate Solution: call your ISP and get a Static IP – you would only need to install a KiboshDNS Browser Agent 1 time, activate it one time, and after that you’ll never have to worry about it again. 

Super Ultimate Solution: get a Kibosh Router and don’t worry about any of it anymore – use the coupon code dns2025 for 15% off. 

Troubleshooting:

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 Server IP you have two options:

    1. Replace the ISP router with your own personal router.
      • Return the ISP equipment and reduce your monthly ISP bill.
    2. Purchase the Kibosh MT6000 WiFi router – use the coupon code dns2025 for 15% off. 

When I go to test.kibosh.com = test failed

Kibosh Lights DNS-layer filtering will always work if these three things are in place:

      1. You have valid Kibosh Account
      2. You have successfully installed Kibosh Server IP on your WiFi router
      3. You have installed and activated a KiboshDNS Browser Agent

If you continue to get the test-failed page – go through phase 1-3 again, and maybe try a different WiFi router. 

Your Kibosh Browser Agent shows KiboshDNS – OFF

2 possible scenarios…

    1. The KiboshDNS Agent is on a PC connected to the WiFi router that you are trying to install Kibosh DNS on – this means you have not successfully completed Phase 1 above 
    2. The KiboshDNS Agent is on a PC that is NOT connected to a Kibosh Light protected WiFi router…this is by design.  Always check your DNS Client Portalor status.
