Setting Up DNS Relay on Synology NAS Using Docker
For those using a Synology NAS and looking to monitor DNS requests across devices, setting up a DNS Relay using Docker is a great option. This allows you to track DNS requests and apply different filtering policies based on VLANs.
Complete the following steps for an effective setup
- Deploy the DNS Relay using Docker (as VMs won’t work on Synology NAS).
- After deployment is complete, you can configure LAN subnets in the Relays section of the DNSFilter dashboard and assign them to different VLANs, allowing you to apply specific filtering policies for each subnet.
Check out our Docker Setup Guide for DNS Relay linked above for more detailed instructions.
Have you set up a DNS Relay on a Synology NAS before? Any tips or advice for handling VLAN traffic and assigning policies? Let’s discuss!

Just now setting up a relay server on my Synology after returning to DNSFilter.
I'm still in the testing phase of this. I was able to set up subnets with different filters and was able to configure it to use DoT only.
Is there a way to make the relay resolve local domains without having a separate local resolver? Example: if sub.test.com is requested, it resolves to 192.168.1.10, etc.

Hello Eric,
Unfortunately, at this stage. the relay still requires you to define internal domains that fall outside of the default .local domains per: https://help.dnsfilter.com/hc/en-us/articles/38529184620563-Direct-internal-resource-traffic-to-local-servers-when-using-Relays#h_01JMAWN9PBZTA7QQNYNMED41XZ
If you have any more questions, let me know.
Kind Regards
