In reply to @stefano_mbp you said,
Presumably his router would forward requests to his ISP's DNS. I infer he's trying to bypass this in favor of Google's public DNS which answers requests to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
I blow hot and cold on this. My ISP is Verizon/FiOS. Sometimes I use Google, sometimes I use Cloudflare, and often out of laziness I just default to Verizon.

Quote:When you set a static IP address, the Primary DNS should be same as the Gateway address which in your case is 10.0.1.1. The Router should proxy all the DNS requests coming from clients.
