Show ipv6 address from clients

Good evening.

I have a short question about ipv6:

My pihole on my raspberry is also the dhcp server. Is it possible to see the ipv6 as it can be seen with the ipv4 addreses from the devices.

Sorry for my bad english.

Please upload a debug log and post just the token that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or do it through the Web interface:

Tools > Generate Debug Log

noone have a answere?

I may not understand your question. Your screen capture of the dashboard shows that some clients are being reported by IPv6 address.

yes but is it possible to show the name from the devices.

If I only see the IPv6 address I don't know what devices it is.

That may be expected for some IPv6 addresses - could you provide some examples, including the results of respective nslookups?

How you mean examples?

IPv6 addresses from my wifes pc

fe80::1854:4e90:1663:a737

fd00::15b

fd00::1854:4e90:1663:a737

fd00::8d11:7868:1168:da24

fd00::5c49:b172:bbec:28b5

nslookup from my wifes pc to google.at
C:\Users\cornelia>nslookup google.at

Server: pihole.lan

Address: fd00::c889:5f45:5990:6d8e

Nicht autorisierende Antwort:

Name: google.at

Addresses: 2a00:1450:400d:804::2003

  172.217.19.99

Sorry, I probably should have been more specific:

I'd be interested in the results of reverse nslookups for some of the IPv6 addresses you are not seeing a name for, e.g.

nslookup fd00::1234:abcd:cafe:9876

You'd have to substitute with an appropriate IPv6 address, of course.

You could also try to set REFRESH_HOSTNAMES=ALL in your /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf. Run pihole restartdns to apply those settings.

thanks for your answere.

When I run nslookup fd00::219d:1c87:a192:2524 from my linuxpc then the output is:

nslookup fd00::219d:1c87:a192:2524
** server can't find 4.2.5.2.2.9.1.a.7.8.c.1.d.9.1.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.d.f.ip6.arpa: NXDOMAIN

I try REFRESH_HOSTNAMES=ALL

Is that the machine running Pi-hole?
If so, please repeat on a client.

Also, if dig is available (it commonly would be on Linux), it would be preferred to run:

dig -x fd00::219d:1c87:a192:2524

no my pihole runs on a raspberry with ipv4: 192.168.178.222 and ipv6: fd00::c889:5f45:5990:6d8e

output from dig
daniel@danielpc:~$ dig -x fd00::219d:1c87:a192:2524

That machine is using a local stub resolver for DNS resolution.
It is unclear what DNS server is ultimately handling that DNS request.

You could try to force dig to use your router:

dig -x fd00::219d:1c87:a192:2524 @192.168.0.1

where you substitute 192.168.0.1 with your router's IP.
