Expected Behaviour: Pihole resolves DNS, and the Pihole admin is accessible Ubuntu Linux Oracle Cloud - Micro Instance Unbound as a DNS resolver Wireguard (split tunnel) for DNS resolution for clients (iDevices, Android Phones, Windows Laptop) Actual Behaviour: The Pihole randomly stops respondin…

[image] Anant: the admin interface is accessible over the Internet This is unwise. A misconfigured scraper or bot (or a malicious attack) could easily absorb significant system resources. It would be much better to have the admin interface secured behind a VPN the same as the DNS server.

Makes sense. I was actually planning to do this. Will just do it sooner (i.e. now) than later. The web interface accessible over the Internet wasn’t a long-term plan.

[image] Anant: I’ve disabled Pihole’s NTP based on suggestion on Reddit That's puzzling, as pihole-FTL showed it as enabled,e.g.: [image] Anant: ubuntu@pihole-vpn:~$ pihole-FTL --config ntp.ipv4.active true Perhaps your weekly sync would overwrite those settings? Please verify that …

[image] Bucking_Horn: Perhaps your weekly sync would overwrite those settings? I would be surprised. NTP is disabled on both the local and the cloud Pi-holes. Without changing any pihole settings, the web-interface right now shows the following: Local (RPi): [rpi-pihole-ntp-settings-2026-…

[image] Anant: I would be surprised. NTP is disabled on both the local and the cloud Pi-holes. Then how come those --config ntp.{ipv4|ipv6|ntp}].active all returned true? Did you toggle them true and false just before creating your debug log? And what do they return now?

[image] Bucking_Horn: Then how come those --config ntp.{ipv4|ipv6|ntp}].active all returned true? Did you toggle them true and false just before creating your debug log? I have no idea why the settings conflict, but I haven’t toggled or changed ANY NTP setting, especially before or after cre…

What would the commands return if you'd run them with elevated rights, e.g. sudo pihole-FTL --config ntp.ipv6.active

[image] Bucking_Horn: What would the commands return if you'd run them with elevated rights, e.g. ubuntu@pihole-vpn:~$ sudo pihole-FTL --config ntp.ipv6.active false ubuntu@pihole-vpn:~$ It shows false with sudo

[image] Anant: It shows false with sudo This looks like a bug in pihole-FTL. I can recreate that observation on an RPi Zero 2 running RPi OS Trixie/13. While puzzling, this would seem like a display issue - internally, your pihole-FTL is using the values as configured. I don't think it wou…
