No internet after installation dns requests timing out

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

running an ubuntu 18.04.1 VM in Hyper-V on a Windows machine

Point DNS to Pihole IP and internet/ dns requests should resolve

Actual Behaviour:

all dns requests timing out from windows machine after pointing dns to pi hole's ip
am able to ping the pi hole ip
requests in the vm are working fine

Debug Token:

fyzuofd5vg

Do you see the requests in /var/log/pihole.log? If not, then Pi-hole is not receiving the request, and something is causing the query to not reach Pi-hole (such as an IPTables rule).

No I don't. I see requests from the VM but not the host.

Do you have any suggestions on how to investigate further?

Here is the output of iptables -L -v after following Redirecting... Is this right?

You should consult the VM software on how to open the firewall it sets up so you can communicate with software listening on the VM's ports.

Hi again,

so I am now installing pi hole on a an actual pi running raspbian and having the same issues :frowning:

new Debug token: p7dgy1o4hb

Is this a new install of Pi-Hole on a fresh OS install? The install doesn’t look clean - web version is on a different branch.

Other than that, the debug log shows the Pi-Hole is working properly, so the problem appears to lie in the configuration of the Win client.

I switched the branch to a previous version because of some recommendation for another issue to no avail. I just uninstalled and reinstalled wooooooo it works!

Had to use the dhcp server because my router doesn't allow changing ipv6 dns.
