Added a pihole to my network a few days ago. Pretty noob with networking overall. Have it all setup up on a Raspberry Pi 4. Also installed unbound to resolve DNS queries on the pihole.

I pointed one of my Vlans at the pihole IP. It seems like my Omada gear finally accepted it once I assigned the “physical” port on my switch to the same Vlan. At that point everything seems to work when I test it. I can switch between Vlans and see that the pihole blocks things on the assigned one. I wanted to use only one Vlan to test it before potentially using pihole for all Vlans.

I want some of my networks to have different adlists so I started tinkering with that. Made different groups on pihole and added a new Vlan ip to the new client list.

For some reason it works fine, but how is it working when I have not told that Vlan in Omada controller to use the pihole IP as DNS resolver?

It seems like after I upgraded my iPhone 14 Pro Max to iOS 18 that latency is really noticeable using pi hole after upgrading.

Like maybe Apple changed something because it seems to be more an Apple problem. Seems like if I reboot pi hole it improves for a while.

If I use cloudflare and bypass the Pi Hole. No issue..?

Hello everyone, let's say I have a Raspberry Pi with either eth0 and eth1 or eth0 and wlan0. Only on interface has access to the internet. Is it possible to accept dns queries from the network without internet access and resolve them using the internet access of the secondary interface?

I don't want to use it as a proxy or anything else and I know that the first interface will not be able to connect to any resolved IP address becuse it doesn't have an internet access.

Thank you :)

Hello,

I have a pfsense firewall with a unifi layer 3 switch. I just enabled 4 vlans 0,1,2,10. All 4 vlan are configured on the same NIC. The switch have vlan 0 as third party gateway and vlan 1,2 and 10 are configured to be routed in the layer 3 switch. All DHCP are on pfsense.

Unifi create a vlan4040 for inter-vlan networking and it's configured also in the pfsense firewall without DHCP.

My pihole is on vlan 0. In the network tab, I have the hardware ID of everything on vlan 0 but none on vlan 1,2 and 10. Pihole is configured for conditionnal forwarding 192.168.0.0/16 to pfsense

For now, the only way I fixed that is to put a pihole on each of the vlan and configured each dhcp to talk to these pihole but there's surely a better way to do that? My goal would be to have only 2 piholes (HA) for all vlan.

Thank you

An iPhone 8 has voicemail notifications not come through even when I turn pihole blocking off. However an iPhone 15 works. I have set iPhone private relay to false in the FTL config file. If I turn private relay on, because it will then bypass the pihole, will this make voicemail notifications work? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Does any body know if there is an alternative extension option to adam:one assist?

I have searched this reddit and only found stuff about 5 years ago.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I have pihole running on DietPi OS on a Raspberry 2B, and everythings -seems- to be functioning well. I have adblocking on all devices, everything is connected, no issues anywhere in functionality.

However, something still seems to be wrong. After getting everything to work, I can't install PiVPN on my pi because github fails to respond. I can ping/dig/nslookup google just fine, but I can't ping 8.8.8.8

I can't upload a debug log because

curl: (7) Failed to connect to tricorder.pi-hole.net port 443 after 3163 ms: Couldn't connect to serve

Otherwise, there are some errors in ipv4 and ipv6 resolution:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Name resolution (IPv4) using a random blocked domain and a known ad-serving domain

Any ideas what the issue may be? For further context- my pi isn't currently appearing as a connected device on my router which appears odd to me. This may be why it's acting strange? Though it's clearly still getting internet as I can SSH into it, use the web interface, etc.

I do also have unbound installed but I am not currently using it because everything seems to SERVFAIL with it

Hello my beautiful piholers, any of you use pihole on an Intel compute stick? I have 2 of those laying around and wanted to implement them as pihole. The specs are more than enough: 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, Intel Atom. The 2 questions I'd have:

1. Is this an issue with using such stick with usb3 to ethernet adapter for pihole? I made a dry run (no pihole installed yet) for a few days on ubuntu and the connection seem to be stable (static port on ubuntu server configured with netplan)
2. How would you implement a fail over for those 2 sticks? Configure 2 same piholes and make then 2 separate dns servers on 2 different IP adresses? Or is there some more efficient way of sorting it out? Thanks a lot for the help.

HI, guys. I beg your pardon, but I'm very noobie on these type of things, but I have a compulsion that I want to manage to have a better marriage with my wife...but anyway, you don't need to know that haha.

I really want to know how to install this Pi-Hole on my windows and phone(android) and block adult websites. I know that people can block huge lists with this thing. The only problem is that I have no idea how to do anything of this. Where should I start? Is there a tutorial for really dumb people like me xD? Thank you so much!

I want to setup pi-hole for my whole network as well as devices going through tailscale. should i select tailscape or the eth for the network adapter?

Hello all,

I have a raspberry pi5 hardwired into my router. I was following a tutorial that told me to change the DNS to that of the PiHole, so traffic would flow through it first. However, I am using an xfinity CB8-T router that does not allow you to modify the DNS route (those bastards.) Is there a way, without purchasing new hardware, to bypass this? Has anyone had a similar problem?

Thanks

Hello everyone, I’ve been using Pi-hole for two days now and I must say it works incredibly well.

I’m running it on a Raspberry Pi 3B, which is otherwise not being used for anything else, and aside from the LAN cable, nothing else is connected to it. I’d like to install it as cleanly as possible on my router.

The problem is that the original power supply has a cable that’s too short. Is it possible to power the Raspberry Pi via the USB port of my router without risking a fire or functional issues?

I set up pihole and tried using 9.9.9.9 and 9.9.9.11 as the DNS servers but they're blocking www.tiktok.com. Is this an error or do they filter services?

Is there a test software available which one can use for privacy tests?

I'm not sure, if I set up everything correct in my private network and I want to uncover leaks in my configurations.

I have a DO droplet that runs Pihole and Wireguard thus providing anonymous ad free browsing. Unfortunately I have forgotten how to be able to access the pihole/admin interface.

The DO droplet has a public IP of 174.138.xx.yy. When I look at my Wireguard tunnel, I see the following:

Interface: Full
Addresses: 10.19.aa.bb/24, <IP V6 address>
DNS Servers: <DNS IP>

Peer: <Key>
Endpoint: 174.138.xx.yy:<listen port>
Allowed IPs: 0.0.0.0/0

Appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction to be able to reach the pihole admin interface. If you need more information regarding the setup/configuration please let me know.

For example on Reddit, whenever I click on a YT link it doesn’t load but when I disable pi-hole the link goes through. How can I fix this without disabling pi-hole entirely?

Hi all, dunno what the boys on twitter/ x are doing but the ads (mainly video ones) are just endless, i mean they need to make a buck all good but I'm slowly avoiding it now as its just so much and again, alot of videos

Anyone got anything I can add to my pihole that will perhaps reduce it? Even by 10%

Thank you

Long time Pi-hole user, and I’m in the process of migrating my primary Pi-hole to a new server (Rpi 3B). I’ve been using Pi-hole Remote for monitoring, and also use the Blocked Services function to block various services. I’m wondering if adding a bunch of regex blacklisted domains is going to significantly slow things down?

Hey everyone, I've recently somewhat got PiHole setup in Docker on my Linux laptop. I've been quite confused on what IP address to use to manually setup all my devices on the network. If I run ifconfig I get this. Which IP address should I use and what do they mean (except for wlp2s0 and lo)?
