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.<br><a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PiHole</span></a></p>

Chad :vbike:<p>Upgraded all four of my pihole instances to v6. They’re working perfectly!</p><p>I love how a bunch of the “advanced” settings are now available from the UI.

dazfuller :rickwhoah:<p>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 (<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PiHole</span></a> server).</p><p>So far all good</p><p>But. I’ve got an <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> 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</p>
Chris Pitts<p>And of course, if it’s not the router it must be the DNS…<a href="https://agilodon.social/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PiHole</span></a> trouble. Might be time to schedule an occasional restart.</p>
S e l y F r i d a y 🇵🇸<p>Ridiculous that every 5-10 seconds my computer pings it's maker for some reason..... </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Pihole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pihole</span></a></p>

dazfuller :rickwhoah:<p>Of course I spoke too soon!!</p><p>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 <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PiHole</span></a> servers are in the dhcp settings.</p><p>But found the tick-box and it's all working again</p>
Hieronymous Smash<p>The <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/pihole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pihole</span></a> 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. </p><p>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 &lt;3) lots% of the Internet I'm paying to use. To track me without my permission. Um.</p>
dazfuller :rickwhoah:<p>Finally got a little time this morning, so upgrading the primary <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PiHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PiHole</span></a> instance to v6.</p><p>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.</p>
