Upgraded all four of my pihole instances to v6. They’re working perfectly!
I love how a bunch of the “advanced” settings are now available from the UI. It makes initial set up so much easier.

And of course, if it’s not the router it must be the DNS…#PiHole trouble. Might be time to schedule an occasional restart.
Ridiculous that every 5-10 seconds my computer pings it's maker for some reason.....

Edit: Lösung ist rebind-Schutz
Ich stehe gerade wie ein Ochs vorm Berg.
Ich habe 2 #pihole Instanzen im Netz laufen.
Denen habe ich lokale DNS-Einträge für einen existierenden DNS record eingetragen.
Frage ich die Server direkt, bekomme ich auch die (lokale) IP zurück.
Frage ich die #FritzBox, die diese beiden Pihole-Instanzen als Upstream konfiguriert hat, bekomme ich ein "Unknown host" zurück.
Warum?

@bradley I'm NOT exposing my #pihole (s) directly to the internet - I use one at home and another one via #wireguard #vpn whereever I may roam 
Exposed ports for GUI and "healtchecks" are on a "random" highport which keeps logs mostly clear of "noise". Sometimes some scanners like #censys (or #shodan ) might also find these ports, but #iptables is very helpful 
Feel free to ask my via PM if something is not clear. I like feedback to make my docs better.
Gah! I just noticed how much of my pihole top block list is accidental new masto instances.

@lxs I am currently only using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts list. However, I have had to manually add things to both the white list and the block list for specific things in our house. There used to be a whole bunch of lists that came with pi-hole by default.. but many have slowly died off. #pihole

@michaelrowe01 observed quite a number of rabbit holes for proposed #PiHole lists…
Example:
https://avoidthehack.com/best-pihole-blocklists
Will see how my journey progresses before meandering down too many…
…and will be seeking to add whitelists for sites that offer splendidly meaningful services!

#Synology: CloudSync spamt den DNS mit Anfragen. Dutzende Mal in der Sekunde. Leider funktioniert die Lösung oben nicht bei mir, weil #PiHole auf der Synology läuft. Ich hätte dann beide DNSe auf dem gleichen System.
Der Support sagt, das sei ein "notwendiger Aspekt des Designs der Cloud Sync-Bibliothek (#cURL)".
Aber cURL kann doch #DNS-Ergebnisse cachen, oder verstehe ich das falsch?

@michaelrowe01 after far too much procrastination - finally deployed Pi-Hole onto local NAS. You have voiced endorsement on many a GatW.B episode!
Tested = doing the desired task!
Added extra blocklists (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists#recommended-lists)
Also trained allowed-list with regex for #quad9 ;) = thankful for their DNS service
Might you share your 
lists?
Yet to setup backup local #PiHole instance on separate low-power hungry device (contemplating bringing back online #NSLU2 for this purpose)
I guess it is time to find a cooler place for my PiHole Raspi, since the CPU runs above 60 °C - and it is not even under any meaningful stress (AFAIK).
Maybe the kitchen closet top is not the perfect place for it after all.
The “Please disable your Ad blocker” is akin to…
Leave your house keys under the mat and turn off your security system.
Nope, I’m not having it.

OK, #tailscale works together with #pihole , I'm very happy. It is also installed on my #synology #NAS
Next step: disable all Synology-related #portforwarding on my #router (especially 5000, 5001 and 6690 for Synology Drive).
I can't understand how to use my #DSM without those ports being forwarded. Do I need to autorise them somewhere? How does it work in conjunction with #QuickConnect or synology.me ?
Thanks!
@tailscale Hello! I'm discovering #tailscale and want to thank you and congratulate you, this is splendid!
I'm facing 1 weird issue when trying to make tailscale work with #pihole
My Pihole setup works when tailscale is off. When I turn it up, I:
- make sure that my client has "use tailscale for DNS" set to "ON"
- on my tailscale admin > DNS, I have added the tailscale IP of my Pihole as the *only* "Global nameservers" and I make sure that "Override DNS Servers" is set to "ON".
But then, no URL gets resolved anymore 
Did I miss something despite have read https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole ?
Thank you!

Estoy pensándome lo de #Pihole. ¿Alguien lo tiene? ¿Qué tal funciona?
Y mejor: si tenéis un tutorial explicado para usuario normal de Linux que tampoco controla mucho de manejar la terminal, os lo agradezco.
