Sshuttle: DNS not forwarding

Question

I have Sshuttle running on a Raspberry Pi 3. The intention is to use the Pi IP as a gateway so I can connect any networked device to Shuttle just by changing the gateway address to that of the Pi. All that works perfectly fine if I set a DNS up on each device (e.g. 8.8.8.8) If I set no DNS, or the IP of the Pi as the DNS, I get no data throughput. I have Shuttle connected to a remote Ubuntu 16.04 server. I don't know if I need to set up a DNS server, such as BIND on that or not - Do I? I have tried setting up BIND but all I know about that is what I can glean via the Net. I definitely want to forward my DNS requests so that all traffic goes via Sshuttle. Any helpful advice will be appreciated.

Answer 1

This is the main thing you need to add:

forwarders {
        8.8.8.8; #example dns servers
        8.8.4.4;
};
forward only;

into /etc/bind/named.conf.options. Anyways, this simple step is not recommended if your Pi is somehow accessible from the Internet.
