Raspberry Pi cannot resolve host

Hello,

My setup is brand new raspbian install (Jan 11 2017 build) and using one-step automatic install. I picked Google upstream and blocking both IPv4 and IPv6. I'm using ethernet.

After I update the settings on my router like this



Restart all my devices - including router, pi, and desktop.

My internet does not work on any device and says dns failed to resolve.

On the pi itself, curl -I google.com does not resolve either.

Been trying for hours and getting nowhere. Would appreciate some help.

We are here and will assist you. Two questions:

  1. Have you tried disabling IPv6 on your router to see if it would work if everything goes via IPv4? (only a question, not recommending to disable IPv6 for all time from now)
  2. Could you generate a debug log (pihole -d) and provide the token to help us assisting you?

Change the DNS settings in the LAN section, not the WAN section.

@Mcat12 that fixed it. Thank you so much.

@DL6ER thanks for the offer to help. I will consider donating to the cause.

Not sure why this is happening now - http://i.imgur.com/tgjDN3r.png

I have tried running the install script again and tried pihole -r as well.

My debug token is: kpyxk0w7du

Update: never mind, I rebooted everything - router, pi, desktop and then ran the install again.

What was the problem? The empty IPv6 field? If so, the fields are only populated during running the installer. That will have updated it for you.
