That DNS server address is for IPv4 only.
Is there an address to use with IPv6?
Not At The Moment;
Thus You’ll need to use the IPv4 Address
(IPv6 Can Read/Communicate IPv4) NOT Vice Versa;

A technique to prevent DNS spoofing is to only have DNS rules in the firewall that specify allowed IP addresses for the DNS servers. In the Comodo Firewall, I like to create a Network Zone called “Allowed DNS servers”. Then I edit the Predefined Policies rules for DNS to use “Allowed DNS servers” for the destination IP address.
Hi SilentMusic
could u please specify, how to do that (step by step)…I mean a good rule set…suppose my DNS servers are 192.x.y.z and 192.x1.y1.z1…?
Double-click the Comodo TaskBar icon > Firewall tab > Network Security Policy
Network Zones tab > Add > A new network zone… > type “Allowed DNS servers” > Apply
Right-click “Allowed DNS servers” in list on left > Add… > drop down “IPv4 single address” > 192.x.y.z > Apply
Right-click “Allowed DNS servers” in list on left > Add… > drop down “IPv4 single address” > 192.x1.y1.z1 > Apply
OK button at bottom right corner (apply changes, closes Network Security Policy menu)
Network Security Policy > Predefined Policies tab > Web Browser > Edit
Click “Allow Outgoing DNS Requests” > Edit
Highlight the entire Description text > press the Delete key on the keyboard
(Note: new Description text will be automatically generated upon completion, which indicates your customization)
Destination Address tab > Type = Network Zone > Zone = “Allowed DNS servers” > Apply > Apply
Repeat for the other Predefined Policies with DNS entries (Email Client, FTP Client)
OK button at bottom right corner (apply changes, closes Network Security Policy menu)
