# DD-WRT Router Setup

If you have static IP or use a DynDNS service, you can set up SafeDNS on your DD-WRT router just like any other router using [this guide](https://docs.safedns.com/books/installation-guides/page/router-setup).

Alternatively, you can configure the SafeDNS filter on a DD-WRT router using its native firmware:

1\. Go to the **“Setup” tab > “Basic setup” >** find the section **“Network Address Server Settings”** and set **195.46.39.39** and **195.46.39.40** as DNS servers.

<p class="callout info"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Select the "**Forced DNS Redirection**" to force all DNS requests from the network to use SafeDNS servers, even if the end device has custom DNS servers.</span></p>

2\. In the **"WAN Setup"** section check the **"Ignore WAN DNS"** option.

3\. Go to the **DDNS** tab.  
4\. Select **Custom** for DDNS Service type.  
5\. Type in ***www.safedns.com*** in the **DYNDNS Server** field.  
6\. Type in your login (email) from the SafeDNS account in the **User Name** field.  
7\. Type in your password in the **Password** field.  
8\. Type in any name (hostname) in the **Host** field.  
9\. Type in ***/nic/update?hostname=*** in the **URL** field.  
10\. **Save and apply** settings.

If all settings are correct, you will see the successful update of your address in the DDNS Status block.

After that, you can continue configuring your filtering options in the [SafeDNS Dashboard](https://www.safedns.com/cabinet/main/).
