    Not Spam emails but Spam clients.
    Client(s) who got the IP Address of new DNS server and started using it for DDoS.

  • Disable DNS over UDP.
    Enable DNS over TLS.
    No amplification attack possible.

  • You mean AdGuard home right? The below works if you are only using AdGuard home to serve your VPS and WireGuard clients.

    Under Settings | DNS settings, scroll down to the Access Control fields at the bottom. Under allowed clients, enter in ip ranges to whitelist. For example, I have whitelisted my VPS and wireguard clients in the 10.9.0.0/24 range.
    127.0.0.1
    10.9.0.0/24

    This will indeed fix your problems, @deepak_leb .But if you absolutely must DNS over UDP, you can try the following:

    But I do wonder; is AdGuard listening on the correct interface? Since it shouldn't be listening on your public IP if you use WireGuard to connect...

    Yes you might be 100% correct as probably in listening interface all interfaces were selected instead of only wireguard interface . Saw the same issue when i did this exact mistake . Once Wireguard interface is selected their are no unknown clients

    I only selected eth0 Wireguard interface alone

    eth0 should be the NIC and wg0 as wireguard interface or whatever name was given for listening interface

    No guide required . Just select wg0 in listen interface when you setup Adguard

  • Add the domain in disallowed domains and limit the rate limit for example 3 per second

    But I couldnt get the wg0. On interfaces, am getting only eth0 and l0 interfaces

  • Whats is your wireguard interface ? Select that interface on Adguard setup page , listen interface

    Will pm u

  • Or maybe you can stop setting up your own DNS server and use 94.140.14.14 / 94.140.15.15 instead

  • Everything has been sorted out. Thank all for your time 🙂

    Please share how you solved your issue. Like I told you via PM; a forum is to share knowledge, not to keep it secret in private messages.

    🥺 Nothing special, Before Installating the wireguard, I simply installed the Adguard, that's in DNS Interface I haven't got the wireguard WgO interface.

    Besides I followed the NAT Vps Guide blindly though I don't use that NAT VPS

  • So I guess OP replicated the setup I use.

    1) have the adguard/pihole/ANY_dnsserver listen exclusively on wg0 (wireguard nic)
    2) use wireguard tunnel for all internet traffic and the private wg0 ip for dns-nameserver value .

    The dns bots will move on.
