Pihole and DNS requests (lemmy.world)

Not sure if this ever got solved, but I’m running Pihole on my network and eero for gateway, routing, Wi-Fi, and dhcp functions. The gateway address (i.e. 192.168.0.1) is the only one that shows up in the pihole logs.

I have DNS Caching off on my eero configuration, and I’ve got conditional forwarding on on the pihole config.

Anything else I can do to have the individual IPs actually make requests to the pihole without being intercepted by the eero?

I followed this guide and have not had any issues since. guide

Are you seeing all of your devices as clients in the Pihole app?

[–] firepenny@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Yes, I see their ips under active clients.

Ok—that is an excellent sanity check. Thanks for confirming.

The only difference for my setup is that I have enabled HomeKit support in the eero. Never thought twice about it, but looks like it works in part by forcing dns onto the gateway router. I’ll be turning it off now.
