Me reading you:

Fourth gosh darn level of agree

I’ll never disable my PiHole or turn off ublock tho

[-] theherk@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Fair.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I wish PiHole wasn’t so absolute dogshit about DNS requests from outside the local subnet, might use it then

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Permit all origins, allow all destinations. In the settings.

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Tried that, it just reverts back after a few weeks :/

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Open an issue on the forums if it hasn’t already been fixed.

Mine doesn’t revert.

What OS/computer?

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Tried it bare metal on a Pi 4 and as a VM. I have my LAN using the 10.0.0.0/8 space and I couldn’t have DNS breaking all the time

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

And it would set itself back?

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yep. Default is to not reply to DNS outside the subnet it's in, and it would randomly flip back to that

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Open a bug report; that shouldn’t happen.

Also, think about running two DNS servers

I'm going to try ad guard today... That way I can keep my DHCP

Update: adguard does not block YouTube ads.

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

You can use PiHole without their DHCP.

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Oh yeah? I didn't know. I thought I read on the pihole website that if you use pihole on a system on your network, you have to use static ips and cannot use DHCP.

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Nope. You can use whatever DHCP server you’d like; you just have to set the pihole as your DNS server in DHCP.
