I wondering why I am not getting internet when I just use Pi-Hole as DNS on my router, but when I add a secondary DNS on my router, everything is working normally (or is it....) .
Do i need to do anything else while following the guide from Pi-Hole Faq.
When Rebooted, Pihole Cannot resolve anything without secondary DNS
[Router] ->[Pihole],[No Secondary DNS] ->No Internet
When Rebooted, Pihole resolves internet when there is a secondary DNS
[Router] ->[Pihiole][8.8.8.8]-> Internet
Did I miss something from following the config from the guide.
From Tomato Router with googledns as secondary there is internet | If i removed google dns and restarted or release&renewed the whole network internet breaks:
I ditched using my router ip as custom Upstream DNS Server. And used Google(ECS) for upstream, PiHole IP is being advertised from all devices, no secondary(googledns) just in pihole, everything seems to be working fine, doesn't break the internet after reboots (took just a little while to comeback, but it works fine)
I noticed something really weird. When using GOOGLE(ECS), I find "Total Queries" increases really quick (like reeeeaaaallly quick.. in 10mins i have like 100k entries). So i flushed the pihole logs "pihole -f" , changed to cloudfare dns and Total Queries stops from increasing rapidly.
Well I just gave up and set my Pi-Hole as DHCP server . As much as I want to make my tomato router as DHCP being protected is much better than none
THank you.
