I don’t know if this is the right place for this, but I did a debug and it said to upload it here with the token.
What errors do you see that are of concern?
Sorry, I deleted them. I thought the log would show? I get about 6 a week. I’ll try reporting again as soon as I see them.
Thank you.
Are you referring to these warnings?

Yes, especially the reducing DNS packet size and the excessive load.
I don’t know how a “non-local network” could get to my raspberry pi.
And I am assuming that the overload is due to some website trying to slam me with requests?
Take a look at our dnsmasq warnings page. It will explain these messages, with the exception of the load and rate limits.
Look in your query log for a query from that first IP. It's a comcast IP, likely from your router, which is not normally a concern.
nslookup 71.202.52.118
118.52.202.71.in-addr.arpa name = c-71-202-52-118.hsd1.ca.comcast.net.
Excessive load can be something as simple as you running a gravity update. On a low-powered system, this can max out the CPU. You can disable that check if you don't want to see this warning:
The rate limit shows that the client at IP 53 exceeded the default rate limit of 1000 queries in 60 seconds. This limit is also adjustable, and is discussed here:
