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

If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx instead of lighttpd, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

Expected Behaviour:

  • Pi-hole can query the internet, but clients accessing via Spectrum router get no query response.
  • The operating system is Debian

Actual Behaviour:

After updating my router configuration with the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for DNS, all client queries fail.

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/fgtmuq0k1h

Use the nslookup tool on a client PC (Windows/Linux/MacOS) to test connectivity:

nslookup <DOMAIN> <DNS_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS>

Eg:

C:\>nslookup pi.hole
Server:  ph5.dehakkelaar.nl
Address:  10.0.0.4

Name:    pi.hole
Address:  10.0.0.4

C:\>nslookup pi.hole 8.8.8.8
Server:  dns.google
Address:  8.8.8.8

*** dns.google can't find pi.hole: Non-existent domain

C:\>nslookup pi-hole.net 8.8.8.8
Server:  dns.google
Address:  8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    pi-hole.net
Address:  192.124.249.118

Maybe your router does rebind protection:
