pihole update attempt went awry

[cohete]

Hi all, I tried to update my pi-hole and it stopped working. The web interface is down and it's not filtering correctly. I can connect to it via ssh and probably messed things up further by trying to fix it on my own .

Here's my debug log: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/hsWf8AL4/

The web interface is down ...

Your debug log shows the web server is running.

What do you see if you try to access the web interface using these links:

• http://192.168.50.162/admin
• https://192.168.50.162:8443/admin

... and it's not filtering correctly.

It also shows Pi-hole is working and blocking domains, but your router is advertising Google as DNS servers:

      dns-server: 8.8.8.8
      dns-server: 8.8.8.8
      dns-server: 192.168.50.1
      router: 192.168.50.1

This will bypass Pi-hole and ads will be shown.

Thanks for taking a look! When I go to both from firefox I get an "unable to connect" page. Looks like I can access via safari though. I was using firefox before today, can you think of any reason why that would stop loading for me?

I changed the servers because traffic wasn't moving through without them. But now I'm wondering if that was a firefox issue too? I'll follow the instructions below and send another debug log afterwards.

How do I configure my devices to use Pi-hole as their DNS server?

Three methods Generally, there are three different methods that will enable devices on your network to be protected by Pi-hole. 1. Define Pi-hole's IP address as the only DNS entry in the router Rationale Only is italicized here for a reason: Pi-hole needs to be the only DNS server because it intercepts queries and decides whether or not they should be blocked. If you have other DNS servers configured, you may be sent to the correct domain, bypassing Pi-hole completely. Because of this, we re…

Hi again, it seems like it's working now? And I got the interface to load on firefox after changing nothing.

Here's my new debug log. Do you see anything else that I should address:

Do you see anything else that I should address

You new log shows now your router is advertising 2 DNS servers - Pi-hole and itself:

      dns-server: 192.168.50.162
      dns-server: 192.168.50.1
      router: 192.168.50.1

When your devices use 192.168.50.1, Pi-hole will be bypassed.
You need to set only Pi-hole as DNS server.

If you want an alternative DNS server, we recommend to use a second Pi-hole server, but this is completely optional.

Thank you! I appreciate you taking a look.
