Slow internet using Pi-hole

Help
1

I' m also having this.
I have a fresh install of pi-hole, Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS virtual server with 6GB RAM and 8 CPU cores 100G SSD.

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/f9p3wlqr7s

All devices on the network are running really slow.

Local nslookup is instant.
google.. never makes it.. times out.

░▒▓    ~  nslookup pi.hole  :heavy_check_mark: ▓▒░
Server: 192.168.100.250
Address: 192.168.100.250#53

Name: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.100.250

░▒▓    ~  nslookup google.com  :heavy_check_mark: ▓▒░

DNS is running on my Mikrotik Router not jute Pi-Hole

What do you mean by that? You running an additional DNS server?

How do you announce/configure DNS server on your clients? You DHCP offer does not contain a DNS server

Sorry - I meant DHCP!

On the Mikrotik /ip/dns I have the pi hole as the only DNS server

Not sure how/when I enabled this, and I'll revert it

I'm not familiar with RouterOS, but with a quick search I found

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/DHCP_Server#Networks

I would set dns-server in the Sub-menu: /ip dhcp-server network to the IP of the Pi-hole.

Dis/Reconnect your clients from the network to pick-up the new DHCP information.

Thanks - I've updated that.

How/where do I disable this?

Oh- that was just me testing to see if it sped things up.
I'm renewing all leases, will test and report back

Thanks!

OK. If you encounter issues, please generate a new debug token.
