UniFi FINALLY added DNS – How to add DNS records to Dream Machine Pro 8.2.93
UniFi has Finally added custom DNS records in their latest update for the dream machine pro. I have been waiting for this to come out for a long time! In this video I will be walking through the new features and discussing some common use cases, including how I will be implementing them.

Why are you whispering?
Great feature! The last puzzle peace is an API for automated DNS record management. Then I can finally retire my dnsmasq.
Would love to know how that reverse proxy you mentioned would be set up!
Any chance the custom DNS records settings will be coming to USG-3P (or UXG-Lite or UXG-Max)?
I don't see the DNS pane under "Routing" after upgrading to 8.2.93. (Running locally installed controller + USG-3P)
Setting up a HA DNS setup is not hard, it’s really easy when you use keepalived to manage a vip address for you etc
Unifi is funny. After years release this function. Yesterday i sell my udm pro. I have three udm pro's and not coming back. I think this gateway is overpriced and i think, if ubiquiti dosen't want to have a function you not have that function. Anymay i back to mikrotik ccr2004 and i'm happy, is stable, no provisioning and have tons of function that udm pro not have for most year from now.
Great video. I managed to create some A records for my local homelab servers. But when I access them by the domain name I created they are no longer under https like in your example with Synology. The next step would be to create certificates? thanks!
This is awesome news. Really great video. 🥳
Just to clarify, you cannot do a reverse proxy with the UDM Pro Max without third party script right?
I have 2 Synology NAS's for my primary and backup DNS server. I really wish Unifi supported a secondary DNS server for the forwarding domain feature.
Cloudflare integration is the only thing left on my list.
Running the latest version on a self hosted for myself and a cloud key for one of clients, but I don’t see the option.
Interesting and a nice improvement, but is it possible to run this along with Pi-hole? I want the blocking and control Pi-hole offers, something Unifi doesn't yet have.
Hope it integrates with Windows Server (2016+) DNS
Hey Will, what are your thoughts on the Ugreen NAS systems?
What we need is to bring our own certificates into this system!!!
Gee Will starting to get a bit money hungry like the rest of them…. Lol members only, really…..
what are you looking at? lol.
im glad they got DNS finally, thats why i have stuck with OpnSense
In my config, I used my UDM-SE as my DHCP server & [obviously] router, but I have dual Raspberry PIs serving as my DNS servers (running Pi Hole with Unbound).
Although your video is very informative, you don't even mention this [fairly] common setup.
Ubiquity is known for having used GPL (open sourrce) software in their products without meeting the requirements of releasing the source code.
Wouldn't be surprised if they AGAIN "inspired" their DNS product on open source libraries or software.
The guys at Ubiquity are really evil in my opinion. Shopping GPL software for their commercial purposes.
Finally! Great update.
How do I enable my UDM pro to be the primary DNS server in my setup or do I just add my dns records and we are good?
Any idea if this supports wildcard records?
Go will just 8k subs to go! From sweden
