Problem resolving DNS inputs

Help
1

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

Hi
I have a Raspberry PI Kit from Pihut

I have unbound installed and followed the instructions in https://crosstalksolutions.com/the-worlds-greatest-pi-hole-and-unbound-tutorial-2023

I deselected upstream DNS servers in PI-Hole and enable custom #1 field to 127.0.0.1#5335 as per the crosstalk instructions

I have no internet access with custom 127.0.0.1#5335 set.

Please be aware I am in my 70s and not as Tech savy as I might be so please keep it as simple as possible

Thank you

Please run pihole -d from the terminal of the Raspberry Pi and type y to allow the debug log to be uploaded. This will help us see what the current configuration is and prevent us from having to ask a lot of questions while troubleshooting your issue.

Thank you for the reply I have uploaded the log

4

If it helps I also have a Rate_Limit notification

When you upload the log, a TOKEN will be generated and printed on your screen.

You need to post the TOKEN here (it will be something like this: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/XXXXXXXX).

I did read a post that contained a very similar issue to the one I am experiencing and the poster had also followed the Crosstalk instruction.

If the error "no internet access with custom 127.0.0.1#5335" is the result of following the Crosstalk instructions, might one of my options be simply removing the whole of the install and starting afresh?

If the above is an option where would I find a reliable, simple, set of instructions to follow, I used the Crosstalk instructions as they were well presented on YouTube and also clearly written down.

It would be a good idea to start anew and follow our own documentation at Prerequisites - Pi-hole documentation

It would be best to start with a fresh flash of the latest Raspberry OS using the Lite version of the distribution. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

I think that’s what I will do, a fresh start :+1:

Does your own documentation provide a nice step by step guide with lines of code to install?

12

Yes, it does.

I'm moving forward...slowly :joy:

I have completed a fresh OS install on the SD card after reformatting the card.

I have installed PIHOLE using the your instructions, it was much easier

I have set my router to use the fixed IP address of the PI

A couple of questions

  1. I still have the Rate_Limit error message is this associated with the set up of my LOCAL network?

  2. My upstream DNS is currently set to Cloudflare what do I need to do to enable Unbound ?

  3. I have also added a few adlists but get this error with each one.

Adlist with ID 1](http://192.168.8.xxx/admin/groups-adlists.php?adlistid=1) was inaccessible during last gravity run.

I have tried to provide a Debug log but get this message

  • The debug log can be uploaded to tricorder.pi-hole.net for sharing with developers only.
    [i] Debug script running in automated mode
    * Using curl for transmission.
    * curl failed, contact Pi-hole support for assistance.

I have turned off the Pihole as I don't understand what is happening as I have so many queries, see the insert and the bottom of this post, if I do have a loop, which maybe the case I don't know how to rectify it. I have a fresh install and do not want to change things and make the problem more complicated!!!

I have turned off my Routers redirection to the PIhole and have been able to generate a debug log, the token is 4eqSxEH7

I think the issue may not be helped by the strange way you have to have to allocate a Manual DNS in the GL.iNet GL-AX1800(Flint) router. This are not my settings but I have the Mode set to Manual DNA and in DNS Server 1 the fixed address of the pihole, DNS server 2 in blank, the two options are also selected on my router. There is a third setting on my router "DNS Rebinding Attack Protection" this is also selected.

Hi

One of the issues I'm having is I am unable to update gravity or upload a debug token I have searched for a solution however, the response I receive after running

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

Is different to the one in the solution

My response is

Search............................ lan
nameserver ...................(the IP address of my router )

I don't want to add to the problem by altering anything

18

You can temporarily change the nameserver on the Pi to be able to update gravity and upload a debug log.

Try:

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

Edit the nameserver line to nameserver 9.9.9.9 or your preferred third party DNS service, save and exit

Run

pihole -d

and upload the debug log.

Thank you for the response

I did run the following
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

And the response came back in the format below

Search............................ lan
nameserver ...................(the IP address of my router )

So, just to make sure I have this correct, I simply edit out the IP address of my Router, as in the text above, and replace it with 1.1.1.1

My Pi skills and knowledge are very basic once I have replaced my IP adress with 1.1.1.1 how do I save the change ??

20

If you are using nano, you can save with Ctrl+S and exit the editor with Ctrl+X.
