What happened?

I was intending to setup a server for me and all of my work friends to play on, and some of them use console.
setting their console's DNS to my instance or 207.244.229.200 both do not seem to redirect them to the server lists, and do not work when I try and use them as my PC's DNS and ping the servers.

this is a problem as some of them do not have phones or other devices to use as a LAN proxy.

For one user, setting his PS5's DNS to any of the addresses breaks his console's wifi network. I guided him through it over the phone, but still no.

Expected Behaviour?

Being able to join the server list after setting DNS.

Steps to reproduce.

If you aren't able to ping or connect to your DNS server at all, it could be a number of issues. Common ones being:

  • Check the status of your Bind9 server to make sure it's up and running without error (e.g. systemctl status bind9, might be a different command depending on your distro)

  • Make sure port 53 (For DNS server) and port 19132 (For BedrockConnect instance) is opened on the network your Linux server is hosted on

  • If your Minecraft game server is also hosted on the same Linux server/network as your BedrockConnect setup, you will need to either change the port of the Minecraft game server away from 19132 (As BedrockConnect needs port 19132 in order for the bypass to work) Or, if you know how, you can technically change the binded ip of either the BedrockConnect server or Minecraft game server

Also when setting the DNS on your game console, make sure you are also setting the secondary DNS to a different DNS such as Google DNS 8.8.8.8, or else the internet may not work on the console.
