Not sure if this is already in the works but it would be nice to define DNS manually.  I have an OoenDNS Home account so I can define what categories I want to block and allow. I would like to use those servers instead of the built in Family Shield servers.  Thanks and keep up the good work!

  The feature already coded, just matter of time to get it out ... hopefully in the next beta.  If not, should be the one after.

  Using own DNS as Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and/or another will be great and usefull!
  Is it implemented or still on hold?!

  In that menu I can see and copy the DNS that is being used, but I cannot change it (I'm in simple mode)

  I just got my Firewalla Gold and set it up. Still getting used to the interface. Is there a way to manually set the DNS IP addresses yet? (My Gold is in "router mode" and connecting to my ISP via DHCP mode).
  
  Update: looks like it is possible! According to https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046703673#h_01EDNZSTWSTDX9PA34NM2NQKJF you don't change the WAN DNS, you change the LAN segment DNS...and that intercepts all DNS requests that would otherwise go upstream. If you also enable DNS over HTTPS, then the DNS requests that are passed along to your chosen DNS server are invisible to your ISP. Neat!
