Can someone please explain this behavior? Why is doing http://rpi-dnshole and http://pi.hole not working the same way leading to the admin page?
Is the http://pi.hole hostname/address somehow hardcoded into Pi-Hole? I never defined that hostname and address during setup and cannot find any options regarding it
This is intended. Only the specific pi.hole domain will automatically redirect to the admin page. For custom domain names, you will need to add /admin to the path.
This is a security feature to prevent someone external to your network being able to access the admin page.
Soo, question, is this related to the same security solutions as mentioned above already - or shouldn't the ping results show the same server name as entered in the query?
Maybe its only the app showing stuff in a weird way?
I think the app is doing revers lookup of the server answering. You can control that with PIHOLE_PTR. If you set it to hostname, it should respond with rpi-dnshole
Thanks for pointing me to the proper manual pages. Do I assume all configuration in /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf is optional?
Mine looks like this. Shouldn't there be all the options from [Configuration - Pi-hole documentation] in here so I can change them according to the manual?
