#pihole

A few days ago home internet started acting funny.

At first I blamed my ISP, than #PiHole that runs on my #RaspberryPi, but none turned out to be the reason. The reason was this UPS that powers my main WiFi router base.

When I pulled the plug out of the UPS I found a cable in quite a miserable state as you can see.

Having examined further I found that a small zener diode got shorted.

Replaced it with the one with a higher voltage rating and it's back to work as expected.

@sidereal I feel the same way about it. A PiHole improves the overall internet experience. It doesn‘t kill ALL the anoying stuff, but I still consider it a big improvement. But you are right. It is sad enough that one has to take care about this shit rain by her/himself.

So the thing I can’t work out is this. I’ve got an Octoprint raspberry pi on my network. It’s assigned a static IP address on my dhcp server (#PiHole server).

So far all good

But. I’ve got an #Amazon Fire Stick which has a completely different IP address, but it seems to be saying its host name is the same as my Octoprint server, just with a .lan extension instead of .local

@schb @iverbpunkt ich meide es. Punkt. Tutorials suche ich in Textform. Videos suche ich bei @peertube (leider ist hier nach wie vor zu wenig los). Wenn es aus irgendwelchen Gründen gar keine andere Möglichkeit gibt, nutze ich zumindest ein #frontend wie #piped oder @invidious , funzt aber mittlerweile auch eher schlecht als recht. Sei's drum. Mein #pihole blockt YT im Heimnetzwerk (und mobil via VPN). Es nimmt mir die Frage also ab.

Of course I spoke too soon!!

Didn't realise about the dnsmasq changes made in v6 and I've got some custom config for the routers and to make sure both #PiHole servers are in the dhcp settings.

But found the tick-box and it's all working again

The #pihole s inform me they've blocked traffic to google-analytics almost 50,000 times in the last 24 hours. The next-most frequent domains were blocked 500 times, and the most-hit permitted domain was hit 2000 times.

So like, what percentage of my bandwidth does Google have to use up before they pay me for it? Because at this point they're literally stealing (or trying to steal, love you piholes <3) lots% of the Internet I'm paying to use. To track me without my permission. Um.

Finally got a little time this morning, so upgrading the primary #PiHole instance to v6.

Updated the DHCP earlier in the week so devices are using the secondary first (weird sentence that), so this one can take a little interruption.

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?
