[Dnsmasq-discuss] DNS Upstream routing

Hi Everyone,

I can't thank you enough for the work on DNSMASQ, it's an utterly brilliant
piece of software. I'm amazed at the flexibility it gives me in securing my
home network, thank you all who put in so much effort.

Gushing aside, I'm stuck on one config I can't figure out though, so I
wonder if anyone could advise please? My server is routing everything
perfectly, and DNSMASQ is sitting there diligently dealing with DHCP and
DNS, and I have DNSSEC enabled for upstream requests (off to 1.1.1.1 or
1.0.0.1). However I'd quite like to route the upstream DNS requests over a
Wireguard VPN, which is on another interface.

Is there a way to tell DNSMASQ to do it's upstream DNS requests over an
alternative interface, rather than the standard (unencrypted) interface?
Once the data are cached in DNSMASQ internally it's fine, that's on my
internal network and the clients query it. It's the upstream requests I'm
interested in routing privately over my VPN.

Any advice? Many thanks,

Bon
