Unable to load the Winston Dashboard or establish private DNS with an Apple AirPort router
Modified on: Fri, 7 Feb, 2020 at 11:02 AM
Some Apple routers require modification of their settings in order to access the Winston dashboard at my.winstonprivacy.com.
1) Click the icon representing Airport
2) Click Edit
3) Select the Internet tab
4) Under Primary DNS Server enter 192.168.102.1 and click Update
Additional Option: Bridge Mode to avoid Double NAT
With Winston installed, AirPort will offer a warning that your system has Double NAT. You can set the AirPort into Bridge mode to remove a layer of NAT.
In addition to the steps listed above, under the Network tab set Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)
Note: DHCP mode (NOT Recommended)
In the event you have a unique setup and need DHCP mode, note that Apple AirPort routers prevent resolution of the Winston dashboard while in "DHCP and NAT" mode but works fine in "DHCP" mode. To update the mode on an Apple AirPort:
1) Select the Network Tab
2) Select "DHCP only" and click Update
Note: We do not recommend DHCP only, because it does not allow a proper range of IP addresses. Winston will assign 192.168.102.150 to your AirPort, and then you can only select AirPort to serve 192.168.102.151-192.168.102.200
