Tons of hits from local address

[FirstGeekDanny]

I have just installed a fresh install of Pihole using Log2Ram and the Cloudflared daemon

Everything is working fine but I'm getting tons and tons of hits like the attached image.

Using Your Existing Router For Network-wide Ad Blocking You might not need to use Pi-hole's DHCP server: In many home environments, your router also functions as your DHCP server. In this case, you can often set Pi-hole to be the DNS server for your network clients in the router's DHCP (or LAN) settings page, which allows all of your network clients to block ads simply by connecting to the network. Setting it up this way is also what makes Pi-hole very powerful for network-wide ad blocking. …
