My Pihole can't resolv anymore and blocking is offline

My debug token is: fma0uao57d

In the past I updated my Pihole. Then after that Pihole resolv nothing, webpage blocking and block ads won't work.

dnscrypt-proxy, unbound+dnsmasq works great but only pihole is working anymore.

pihole -g is working to resolv names and download block-lists but:

[✗] Failed to resolve enayahstore.com;1 via Pi-hole (192.168.178.21) 

Also won't work:

http://pi.hole/admin = This site can’t be reached
pi.hole’s server IP address could not be found.

PLEASE HELP me! Many thanks!

how to fix? dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 5333:

For PiHole to work properly, it should be the only DNS in use, so yes. If the router is serving DHCP, then this DNS address will be passed on to all your network devices. Note that to get all your network devices using the new DNS after you set it in your router, you may have to clear DNS caches, restart, renew leases, etc (depends on the device).

Also, how did you configure your devices to use Pi-hole?

In my router and my pc I use static ip.

Which dns server must I set in my router? I want to use dnscrypt-proxy which is
on 127.0.0.2 and 127.0.0.3 on my pc.

Or? 192.168.178.21 which is local ip + pihole ip

Please take a look and tell me if this configuration is correct or has errors.

Which values do I have to change or add?

192.168.178.21??? [PIHOLE_ip local] static

Set the static IP address of your PiHole as the DNS server on your router. Then all DNS traffic routes through the PiHole.

You currently don't have a DNS server assigned in your PiHole. Set the DNS on the PiHole to the server of your choice. For troubleshooting, you can use Google at 8.8.8.8.

Is that set correctly? (my Router)

Can I use Upstream-DNS_Server = dnscryptproxy? When yes, how to set in SetupVars.conf // 01-pihole.conf

Example:
SetupVars.conf
PIHOLE_DNS_1=127.0.0.1#5353 (dnsmasq) redirects to dnscrypt-proxy

dnsmasq is using dnscrypt-proxy-server: server=127.0.0.2#513 and server=127.0.0.3#513

Or?
SetupVars.conf
PIHOLE_DNS_1=127.0.0.2#513
PIHOLE_DNS_2=127.0.0.3#513

Which setting is correct to use dnscrypt-proxy as upstream DNS server with PIHOLE?

It looks like the router settings are correct for DNS.

I'll defer to others with more expertise on dnscryp-proxy for the settings. I don't use that and don't want to steer you wrong.

Have you tried using Google DNS for the PiHole to make sure the PiHole is working correctly? Once you do that, you can change to DNS of your choice later.

Some idea?

nslookup pi.hole

This is mandatory to be set to the Pi-hole IP 192.168.178.21/24 in order for your router to communicate with the DNS server based on:

image

PIHOLE_DNS_1= needs to be your Unbound resolver

You have all the settings tangled and messed up.

You might want to start from scratch and reference DNSCrypt How-to guide?

Maybe you will find some related information.

I personally use only Pi-hole+Unbound and no DNScrypt

...and how I can set an unbound-ip to my localhost?

correct?

Follow this guide for using Pi-hole with Ubound:

https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/unbound/

ok, I'll tried out the pi-hole unbound guide, all set in pihole.conf @ /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d

Unbound starts, no errors in Terminal but when I type:

dig pi-hole.net @127.0.0.1 -p 5353

Output:
DiG 9.11.3-1ubuntu1.1-Ubuntu <<>> pi-hole.net @127.0.0.1 -p 5353
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

some Idea?

which unbound address must I put in pihole setupVars.conf?
PIHOLE_DNS_1=

Which address to use?
private-address: 192.168.0.0/16
private-address: 172.16.0.0/12
private-address: 10.0.0.0/8

my network local ip is 192. 168. 178. 21, how do i have to change unbound's address?

If you set up per the instructions, PiHole uses 127.0.0.1#5353 to get its DNS lookups from unbound.

...with this config, dig pi-hole.net @127.0.0.1 works now.

can I ignore 192.168.178.21/24 does not match the IP found in /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf???

Or how can I fix it?

:frowning: :frowning: with the new configs, my PIHOLE blocks nothing, no ads :frowning: What I've made wrong... damn....

token: jysgrzc0kb

I'm a little bit further:

sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
service lighttpd force-reload
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
service lighttpd force-reload

now I can get into the pi-hole admin dashboard but can't save any settings in dashboard :frowning:
