PiHole - VPN with iptables

Help
6

Hi there! :wink:

Just in case some users were still, like me, unable to reach their Pi-hole DNS when connected under OpenVPN (DNS not resolving issue), here's a quick fix :

  • First, modify /etc/dnsmasq.conf in order to replace:
    #listen-address= with listen-address=127.0.0.1, 192.168.xxx.xxx, 10.8.0.1
    where the second IP is the Pi-hole local network IP and the third IP is the tun0 interface.

  • Then, simply restart DNSMasq with:
    sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq

This fix was found on PiVPN wiki and I thought that it could help others PiHole users under a similar configuration.

Hopefully it'll be useful for anyone :slight_smile:
