Sure is difficult to use a pi-hole almost seems like a conspiracy, doesn't look like xfinity or dlink want to make it easy
I want network wide pi-hole that auto assigns DNS server that is the pihole
This way the folks in my house don't need to do anything to get a ad-free network connection
My wifi/cable modem doesn't allow custom DNS servers- great
I connected my old WRT54GS and the modem in bridgemode
Slow Wifi I bought a new router I specifically went to see if DDWRT was supported
and it was (or so I thought) Turns out it isn't because of randomized hardware revisions, so lets try to use the stock firmware (after looking at the hack processes just no)
Secondary DNS must be set, Secondary DNS cannot be the same as the Primary DNS
Firmware won't allow it
If I set dns in the router to google 8.8.8.8 it will resolve and serve me ads as its the seondary dns fallback and the separate container will have separate statistics and admin page etc and slow everything down.
If I set the dns in the router to something that doesn't exist then the dns will 404 and slow down everything on the network as the secondary dns is used quite often to speed up regular loading
if I setup another pihole docker container and put it on its own macvlan (which the pihole is already on a macvlan)
pihole needs port 80 clear and I want to use the computer as a server as well with its regular hostname
I setup dockers IP tables as well as the IP tables in linux to relay traffic from the second IP address 192.168.1.98 to 192.168.1.99 (where the pi-hole is) but that didn't work, I also tried to open things up in docker but didn't get very far
I setup another docker container with DNSmasq and pointed it to 192.168.1.99 but that also didn't work
how can I have a pi-hole with two different DNS IP addresses without setting up a different container that runs pihole I want the statistics to be correct
