Why do speed tests no longer work?

jesiwag330 · June 23, 2020, 7:05pm

I'm concerned that I might do it wrong based on the experience in this thread:

Uninstall, doesn't really uninstall.

We noticed the only user with sudo privledges was pihole. Tried uninstalling and it failes instantly. Went through his journal and didn't see any weird logins. Assuming his pi was compromised, for whatever reason, I checked mine. I updated just fine and decide to uninstall it and the user account, leading to a ton of artifacts. I went through the script and manually removed each of the remaining locations. It looks like the script is just bouncing out if it can't kill the service. I would prefer to not reinstall at this time. I may install on another pi however I'll update if any definitive information is found. > Nice template btw.

I'm open, though I'd rather not, to frying my raspberry pi and starting from scratch.

DanSchaper · June 23, 2020, 7:18pm

Start all over from scratch. You have issues with the operating system itself if pinging an IP address fails.

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 5:30am

@DanSchaper, I started over from scratch and this issue is persisting. I followed the docs on the rasp pi website for install the pi os and then followed the docs on the pi hole website to install the pi hole. When I go to fast.com, it says that I'm not connected to the internet and my router says the same thing.

DanSchaper · June 25, 2020, 5:53am

Post up a debug token.

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 4:26pm

This is my debug token https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/exdqmdta3e.

The speedtest on fast.com worked up until the moment that I installed pi hole. It worked through every step of the installation of the raspberry pi up until then. This installation has no custom blacklists and only uses the four default lists that are provided and it works with an eth0 connection. I did not do anything to my router settings after installing pi hole (curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash) in a screen share on the raspberry pi. Thanks!

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 4:29pm

I can still ping websites in the terminal. I can write ping google.com and it will work from the raspberry pi and from my machine. It's specifically any internet speed test that fails to work. (speedtest.net, fast.com, so on)

jfb · June 25, 2020, 4:40pm

Does the speed test not work at all, or are the results not what you expect?

These tools can help you determine if any of the domains that load with the speed testers are being blocked and causing problems.

I will note that with stock blocklists and some additional regex, I have no problems with speedtest.net (I don't use the other site).

You also might want to try different upstream DNS servers to eliminate any interference from the two you are now using:

    PIHOLE_DNS_1=208.67.222.222
    PIHOLE_DNS_2=208.67.220.220

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 5:00pm

It does not work at all. It says that I am not connected to the internet on both sites.

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 5:01pm

I'm editing this in the WAN DNS Setting tab on my router. Should I be updating these elsewhere too?

The speed test works when I choose connect to dns server automatically on the wan dns settings tab in my router. My concern is that setting up dns servers automatically means I'm no longer using openDNS.

~~I'm wondering if this might work:~~ (I tried this an the speed tests still don't work)

Use automatically selected dns server in my router
Add the open dns nameservers to the upstream server ipv4 options in the pi hole admin console

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 5:07pm

Sorry for all the messages. I think we're very close to a solution.

I set automatically choose dns server on my router and I checked the box for opendns in the pi hole console. BUT, I did not put in the name servers for open dns on my router or on the pi hole.

Yet, when I go to https://welcome.opendns.com/ it tells me that I'm connected to open dns.

AND, the speed tests are working. So, I think this means we've solved it. Does that sound right?

DanSchaper · June 25, 2020, 5:51pm

Does ping 192.168.50.1 still fail?

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 6:30pm

That ping works

DanSchaper · June 25, 2020, 6:39pm

The debug log still shows that as failing.

If ads are still being blocked and you can dig or nslookup pi.hole then things are working it seems.

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 6:40pm

Should I be adding the open dns name servers anywhere or does this happen automatically?

DanSchaper · June 25, 2020, 6:43pm

No, just a bare dig since that will use the DNS server that the client is configured for. If the client truly is using Pi-hole then dig pi.hole will be successful.

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 6:50pm

Sorry, I mis-stated my question. I mean, in general, do I need to add the open dns name servers anywhere?

DanSchaper · June 25, 2020, 7:06pm

My general response to that is "Does it work?"

jesiwag330 · June 25, 2020, 7:07pm

Awesome, I'm going to mark this solved. Thanks Dan!
