Pi-hole® - A black hole for Internet Advertisements

The original post: /r/pihole by /u/TuffNutzes on 2024-10-07 06:40:21.

I just setup pihole via a container on my linux box. Using Google Wifi, it looks like the way it does DNS relay, every client appears as the router IP.

I see the solution to this is to use pihole's DHCP server, but I have extensive IP reservation and forwarding rules I'd rather not have to reproduce on pihole.

Is there any other way around the DNS relay IP issue?

Hi, I’m a first time user of PiHole and have a few questions about the setup - I just ordered the kit which hasn’t arrived yet yet.

I’m currently running a mesh Eero network and I understand that the ideal setup is to have the pihole device hardwired in. I’m currently using all of my Eero’s Ethernet ports, so would it be possible to use the pihole with a Ethernet hub or with the second Eero node, or does it specifically need to be directly hardwired to my main Eero node?

Also, I want to make this as user friendly as possible to pass the spouse test. I know there are several software solutions to pause the pihole functionality, and even some physical button options. A physical button is ideal, but all of the DIY options I’ve seen are large and ugly - is there a simple button I can buy that works with IFTTT, HomeKit, etc, that I can set up to do the same thing?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!

I've searched google and reddit, Not finding the answer,

I installed Pi Hole via Docker Desktop last night, I changed my IPV4 Preferred DNS Server to Pi Hole, and it seems to be working on my local device and Edge browsers, however, Its not working on Fire Fox, Its I Enabled/Disabled Http to DSN as previsous posted stated, It keep not connecting to the Server when I type in Google or Bing or anything.

Any Ideas?

I have Express VPN, but its currently Off and the firefox plug in is disabled.

I'v also tried disabling my IPV 6 no change.

Hi all, by blocking ads, I'm assuming pihole thwarts RTB? Is this correct, or can a profile still be constructed via other means?

Turns out my router allows me to set the IPv4 DNS, but not for IPv6. What routers would you guys recommend?

I'm going insane. I've reinstalled everything a million times at this point.

I'm running pihole on a pi zero with a good charger and a lexar SD card (have also tried SanDisk) but it just keeps breaking itself in some way. It'll be working for days or weeks and then one day it just stops working. Today the web interface broke and even though running pihole status says it's fine, running lighttdp status says it fails to start. Now trying to update the os gives an error. Fix install also gives an error. Anything I try to do to fix it gives an error, so I have to reinstall everything again.

Can someone please help me? I don't know what else to do. I'm so tired of this

For anyone else out there with AMC+ (I know. I know) I have the following whitelisted items that helped get it working for me. Without these whitelisted Streaming itself worked, continue watching worked, but the watchlist itself would not work. Hopefully it helps one of the dozens of us subscribing:

customerevents.netflix.com ichnaea.netflix.com jssdkcdns.mparticle.com jssdks.mparticle.com identity.mparticle.com js-agent.newrelic.com 9qobsh-launches.appsflyersdk.com fastly-mobile-collector.newrelic.com config2.mparticle.com nativesdks.mparticle.com bam.nr-data.net mobile-collector.cell.nr-data.net

Note: some of these may be specific to the device you use to access AMC+. For example, the js ones where being blocked when adding things to my watch list from the web browser. the netflix ones were interesting because it's obviously not netflix, but it seems like some of the images for items already in the watchlist were being served by those URLs (whitelisting them fixed the thumbnails)

The router settings give the option to set/unset router as DHCP server but I do not see where I can assign DHCP to my Pi's IP address.

Hi! Is anyone using Docker/macvlan to host multiple instances per host? I'm interested in running my 4 instances on 2 hosts, but before starting the process, I figured I'd see if anyone has a working compose file.

Thanks!

Recently, presumably after one of the recent updates, I've noticed my Hubitat C-7 (Platform version 2.3.9.184) has been trying to reach "acbsahcbczvlj-ats.iot.us-east-2.amazonaws.com" in excess of 4,500 times in every 24 hour period. I've blocked the address in my pi-hole but that doesn't stop the network traffic, just stops it from going through.

I do not have a cloud connection set up for my Hubitat, nor do I have ANY cloud-connected devices on my network which is locked down pretty tight. Avoiding dealing with "the cloud" was the main reason I purchased my Hubitat in the first place! There is no reason - that I can find - for these connection attempts, much less for THOUSANDS of them daily. Anyone have any ideas?

Default is only 7 days which I think is not enough, I can still make do with 7 days though as it's not absolutely crucial for me to extend beyond that but would be nice if possible.

I've recently set-up a new Pi-hole, and it's working well on my PC's/laptops. However, on android phones they automatically use IPv6 and it stops the Pi-hole from working. Even after turning off private DNS, there's no setting to turn off or change the IPv6 address on these phones.

From some googling it looks like I can block/redirect all port 53 traffic not coming from my Pi-Hole on my router. I have no clue how to go about doing that, what can I do from these settings?

Edit: my router is Sagemcom Fast 5866T

Is it recommended to enable or disable "Limit IP Address Tracking" option on Wi-Fi/Cellular on iPhone? All my DNS queries route to my Pi-hole whether on home Wi-Fi or remote (via Wireguard VPN). I want to make sure I have all my Apple devices configured optimally. I do have iCloud Private Relay disabled.

My pihole is up and running (seemingly) perfectly - all devices are using it, ads are being blocked, everything working as expected.

I went to install PiVPN today, but I could not reach GitHub. If I try to ping 8.8.8.8 or 192.168.2.1 (router), but hosts are unreachable.

Pinging other websites works as well.

I've been having some issues with this setup- my router forces ipv6 but I cannot modify its settings at all, so I need to run ipv4 with ipv6 support on the pihole. That all works fine. However when I tried to het unbound working, everything broke, I can't seem to get ipv6 working with unbound.

I don't really mind not having unbound as my primitive brain never actually grasped what it does, but I would like wg as I travel for work often and use a travel router to connect to wire guard remotely.

Tried to get a debug log for y'all, but

curl failed, contact Pi-hole support for assistance. * Error message: curl: (7) Failed to connect to tricorder.pi-hole.net port 443: No route to host

[✗] There was an error uploading your debug log.

i'm using AdGuard DNS over HTTPS in Firefox and windows network adapter settings but don't know how to make sure that it's actually working and when i test it in https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/ it showed these results..what does it mean that it can't know whether i'm using a secure dns or not? And how can i know if the dns over https is working or not?

Hi, I need you help guys, my setups is this:

RPi5 with et0 connected to Vodafone Station Router

I use iptables as firewall, my INPUT policy is to drop everything except for ports 53, 80, 443, (ssh port) and vpn port, both tcp and udp for each of them are allowed.

I use pivpn wireguard on port 5****, so my router has a port forwarding on that. The vpn works like a charm.

For networking i use the RPi5 network manager (nmtui), I set up a static ip 192.168.1.8, as default gateway the address of the router and as dns server again the address of the router 192.168.1.1.

I set pihole with google dns but if i set "allow all" on the connection security section I get warnings of too much queries (things like 150 or 1000 queries per minute) if I only permit one hop devices I don't get any queries but from the localhost of the pi. On my router i set the DNS for all devices to be my RPi5 ip.

Even when I'm getting queries pihole doesn't work, I added instagram.com on the blocklist but I can access it flawlessly.

Any ideas, please? :/

Hello all,

I am wanting to host my PiHole on an AWS EC2 instance as I am fully moving my on-prem infrastructure out.

I have PiHole installed on an Ubuntu instance and it is working, but I would like to add an SSL cert so I can log into the admin interface using HTTPS.

I've tried following instructions on both of these sites;

• Add LetsEncrypt SSL certificate to Pi-hole • NetWeaver
• Enabling HTTPS for your Pi-hole Web Interface - FAQs / Community How-to's - Pi-hole Userspace

However, steps on neither site work, if I try to connect to the gui using HTTPS, it stops and says it cannot connect.

I had a DNS outage last night (using AdGuard) and my kids almost rioted without their precious internet. I'd really like to get this up and running so I can be a bit more-self reliant.

Anyone have any ideas?

Pi-hole working perfectly on all devices but one. My Mac mini has both Wifi and Ethernet enabled. Both setup to use the same DNS but if Ethernet is enabled it seems to be bypassing the PI-hole.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve?

I've setup my pihole now and all seems to be good/right on my rpi, but when I check on PC, phone and tv I still get ads..anything I'm missing? I tried adding the DNS adress to my tv and still not working..

Hello

I’m experiencing an issue with my Pihole setup and could really use some help. I'll try my best to explain the situation. Please be patient if I miss something obvious.

For the last few days, my devices using Pihole have been unable to access many websites and apps—they just sit there waiting to load. However, when I switch to another DNS , everything works fine.

I have Updated Pihole (everything went smoothly) via SSH . I can still access Pihole through SSH using pihole -up, so the system seems to be up and running.

The issue is when I try to access the Pihole web interface by going to http://[Pi-hole_IP]/admin/ in my browser, I get the error: "Unable to connect".

Has anyone experienced this before or have any advice on how to troubleshoot? I'm not sure if it's a DNS issue or something with the web interface.

Thanks in advance!
