Please describe your problem. What isn't working, etc?
When I look at query data on the dashboard, there is zero across the board. I keep receiving diagnosis notifications which are "query from unknown sources".
Also in the debug log I see my vps server's interface resolving addresses.
I've been trying to remove my server's public IP address but I don't see in any config files how to do so.
Thank you
Your debug log shows that your Pi-hole host machine is receiving DNS traffic from public IP addresses, e.g.:
*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Pi-hole diagnosis messages
count last timestamp type message blob1 blob2 blob3 blob4 blob5
------ ------------------- -------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- --------------------
1 2023-04-23 00:01:51 DNSMASQ_WARN ignoring query from non-local network 103.203.59.3
This indicates that your router's and/or your Pi-hole machine's firewalls are allowing public DNS/port53 access.
You are just on step away of running an open resolver, posing a potential threat for all Internet users, e.g. by serving as a multiplier in a DNS Amplification attack .
Note that the Pi-hole team strongly discourages Pi-hole’s usage as an open resolver, and we won't provide support in that case.
