Dear all,
I’ m new with pi-hole and I need you support to complete its setting.
Expected Behaviour:
I have install Pi-hole on a raspberry pi4 and I have update my router to define my raspberry as primary DNS server but all my device are visible in pi-hole but with « use Pi-hile » = No
I have defined 2 static addresses : one for my Raspberry running pi-hole (192.168.1 .250) defined also as Primary and secondary DNS server + one for a local printer (192.168.1.76).
Check if your raspberry pi has internet access by SSH or Logging into it and see if you have enabled the right interface WIFI/ Ethernet to connect to internet and cross check the ip of LAN/ Ethernet.
Additionally check your router's additional settings for DNS Server Setting , i had it it misconfigured by adding Pi Hole Ip.
The IP address is being shown with it's subnet mask. The "/24" indicates that the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. This is a normal display.
From one of the clients on your network that is shown as not using Pi-hole, please run the following commands from either the client terminal or command prompt, and post the output here:
It is likely that your router is configured in such a way that all the DNS traffic from individual clients is shown as originating from the router, and not from the clients.
Let's take a look at which clients are sending Pi-hole DNS requests. Please post the output of:
That is odd. There should be at least a line or two, as there should always be at least one client (localhost). Check that the quote symbol didn't get smartened - manually overwrite the quotes from your terminal.
Could you manually verify if the devices (client) ip settings. There could be some time cache / DNS Set to Router's IP address. Try to reset that as well just in case, hope your client does not have DNS like 8.8.8.8 (Google' DNS)
Seems the Pi is able to capture the devices present, however the traffic is still not routed via the PI for some reason
Try this and see if it helps in any way
I hope you have disabled IPv6 routing in the Pi hole settings . If possible post the snapshot of those settings as well. I dont have rights to access your logs.
Also in the worst case, some times the router may have limited capabilities and have hardcoded DNS, try with a temporary router without internet connection should also do inorder to test the possibility. This was a pain for me initially to setup being a NOOB but once i completed it , i reaped the benefits of completing the setup.
