Ignoring query from non-local network

Help Community Help

Just installed pi-hole using a video turorial on youtube made by hardware heaven (Blocking Ads With a 15 Year Old Computer - YouTube).
Unfortunately, I got a warning in dnsmasq core, which states "ignoring query from non-local network 23.126.79.140 (logged only once)". Checked the documentation, but found nothing in my help. Also googled the warning, a few possible sollutions came up, but nothing like that could solve mine.
I'm really new to using linux, so please go easy on me.

thanks

Is this your ISP?

As far as I know my ISP is Telekom, can't really say more about that, sorry.

Do you have port 53 open in your router? Is there a DMZ leading to the Pi-hole host device?

port 53 should be free, but there is a DMZ on the host device

Close this. Exposing your Pi-hole to the internet creates an open resolver.

okay, that does solve my problem.
Thank you very much!
