I have a heating system at home. That system is polling every 2 seconds to the manufacturer (probably for the "system is disconnected" push notification). Once whitelisted the domain I was hoping the domain wouldn't show up in the query anymore. But it still appears in the query log, which makes fi…

Had a similar problem with wifi lights pinging every 5 seconds. Find the mac address and place this in your /etc/dnsmasq.d/ directory . cd /etc/dnsmasq.d/ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deathbybandaid/piadvanced/master/piholetweaks/dnsmasqtweaks/04-bypass.conf nano 04-bypass.conf (replac…

Which mac address do I need to enter? from the remote host or from the local sytem device? and in which format do I need to put it into the file?

Find the mac address of the heating system. Where it says M.A.C.A.D.D.R.E.S.S , put your devices mac address there. Essentially, what this does is completely bypasses the pihole dns, and sends those querys directly to google's dns.

The reason I asked the format is because it isn't working. Still a lot of entries inside the query log to the heating system API. Two times almost every second :frowning:

I know that for my lights, I had to reboot those too. Maybe rebooting your heating system as well. I'm not sure what you mean by 'format'. Mac addresses look something like 00:A0:C9:14:C8:29

I was wondering the format for the bypass config file because it has dots for example and I know it's with a semicolon officially but it could be that the config required something else. Nevertheless; it doesn't work both. Also rebooted all systems but that doesn't work either. Still a lot of entr…

mac addresses must be in lowercase or it wont work

MAC addresses should work in either upper or lowercase, they are just hexadecimal values.

Ignore explicit whitelisted domains from query log
