Conditional Forwarding

Hi,

sorry can't find any detail informations about this new feature.

After updating to 4.0 I am using Conditional Forwarding with my Fritzbox Router to get the client names direct from my router - a nice feature!

Ip from Fritzbox is 192.168.178.1 and name is fritzbox.
Also I deleted the old ip entries in the host file.

Top Clients Output on Pi-Hole is now:
tv-lan.fritz.box
iphone6.fritz.box
ipad.fritz.box
...

Why is it fritz.box and not fritzbox and is it possible to remove the appendix fritz.box?

Thanks, Frank

Hi,

yes, I understand this AVM .box fail.

I would like to remove fritz.box from the client name.
So the clients get back their real names, like they are stored in the router.
Benefit would be real client names and shorter output in pi-holes dashboard like I had before when using /ect/hosts.

Hi,

changed back the router's name to fritz.box - this was also the original name.
Conditional Forwarding activated always displays client name + router name.

So I switched back to /etc/hosts entries to display my client names in dashboard.
But was worth a try...

I also have a FritzBox. But in my settings I have not set any domain name.
"Conditional forwarding domain name () is invalid!" is shown in pi.hole.
Can I use it without any domain name set?

Thanks a lot.

A local domain is required. It is probably something like lan, local, or box.

Required for Pihole, right?
So to use this feature, I have to set a domain on my Fritzbox router. OK, I will keep it in my mind!
