Hello, First I would like to thank you for all the dev and features. I'm using the standard version of pihole Pi-hole [v5.15] FTL [v5.20.1] Web Interface [v5.18.1] And I tried to use "aliasclient" so as to get name instead of ip address in the interface. I successfully added names by doing : I…

Sorry for the delay - your answer slipped past me. [image] gulian: And I tried to use "aliasclient" so as to get name instead of ip address in the interface. alias-clients are not required to show hostnames instead of IPs. That experimental feature will aggregate dashboard statistics for se…

Hello, Here is the url: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/kgQOEsfc/ pihole runs in a docker container on a synology with its own virtual network/ip address. Here is the docker-compose who create the container (my router is 192.168.8.10): services: pihole: container_name: pihole image: piho…

Hello, Do you need a more recent debug log? I just made a new one: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/CRX5Pmr8/ Here is my pihole-FTL.conf: PRIVACYLEVEL=0 DBINTERVAL=60 RESOLVE_IPV4=yes BLOCKINGMODE=IP-NODATA-AAAA I just added: DEBUG_ALIASCLIENTS= true and restarted pihole-FTL. I downloaded /…

Thank you for your detailed explanation and advices. I understand what aliasclient is for then. I was hoping of using it as a way to identify names clients in pihole from their mac address instead of ip address. (client MACs to hostnames instead of client IPs to hostnames) Most of the devices in …

I configured specific leases on the router dhcp config for all clients. This allows me to customize the host file in the pihole container. Thanks for all. Apart from that, a problem is that stock android smartphones put automatically 8.8.8.8 as secondary DNS (or third) in network wifi config; and I…

[image] gulian: then, I can see in the dashboard the names I entered! However, when I click the name, there is no query recorded for the aliasclient. The url is: http://192.168.8.5/admin/queries.php?client=aliasclient-0 Would you know if this is normal, or if I missed something? Same prob…

not related to aliasclient but I found this regarding android auto adding google dns : https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/aqjrqo/android_auto_adds_8888_to_dns_list/

[image] gulian: Apart from that, a problem is that stock android smartphones put automatically 8.8.8.8 as secondary DNS (or third) in network wifi config; and I didnot find any way to prevent this. Are they OnePlus devices? To clear up a misunderstanding, its not Google Android doing that ..…

A friend of mine has an OPPO phone which is running their version of Android called colorOS . He's on colorOS v11.1, based on Android 11. His phone does the same thing. We were trying to configure it with his router and Pi-hole and no matter what we did the phone always adds an additional DNS entry f…

The one that made that up must have been sniffing the wrong glue. Every sane admin can tell you that any redundant DNS server(s) should be identical in the way they reply / the records they hold. Google 8.8.8.8 doesnt know about your local DNS records. Very strange that another brand adopted the …

Maybe related to Chrome feature "Async DNS resolver" for example. This seems to allow the use of another dns than the primary. My phone is a realme, and it does exactly the same : adding 8.8.8.8 as dns at the end.
