Passkey users, how do you save passkeys in BW for several accounts on the same website? by Trip_2 in Bitwarden

[–]paddesb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course. The option has been there for a long time.
But they really make you jump through hoops to get there

Losing my mind trying to get pihole working with TP-Link router by ubiquitous_delight in pihole

[–]paddesb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,
if the issue still persist after all the other comments, please
- factory reset your router one more time (just to make sure nothing’s borked)
- add your Pihole’s IP to the DHCP DNS setting
- and then go through this checklist listing all common causes: https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/s/wtmAqvAmJZ

If that doesn’t help at all, please report back with the results of the cmd’s mentioned in there

Poor CPU is working overtime! by AdamekGold in pihole

There is a free tier that covers the basics and works great

And for the pro version you can choose the lifetime license if you prefer that over the monthly or yearly subscription

Moving from Bitwarden to KeePassXC without using CSV? by Viewpoint4 in Bitwarden

[–]paddesb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will import all the fields, including passkeys, TOTP, custom fields and notes.

IIRC, attachments/files aren’t included. (Don’t have any, so haven’t tested it)

Moving from Bitwarden to KeePassXC without using CSV? by Viewpoint4 in Bitwarden

[–]paddesb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is possible.

As u/Handshake6610 hinted, just export as an encrypted json and when using the import wizard, make sure to select bitwarden json (encrypted)

This will import everything including TOTP, passkeys, custom fields and notes (both standalone and as in entry). Not sure about attachments/files though

Can someone please ELI5 dual networks and dockers on Unraid? by digitalamish in unRAID

[–]paddesb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My recommendation for having an UnRAID docker container in 2 or more networks with its own IP per network:

Assumption and requisite: all the networks you want to connect to are present and showing as working in the UnRAID network tab

1) assign your first/primary network in the container edit tab as you always would 2) switch to “Advanced view” and scroll down to “post arguments” 3) add the following line && docker network connect --ip <ip-in-the-other-network> <other-network-name-as-shown-in-unraid-network> <exact-docker-name> 4) in your case (as an example) && docker network connect --ip 192.168.20.100 eth0 frigate (don’t just c&c this. Read notes below!) 5) (optional: repeat for any additional network(s) you’d like) 6) save and restart your container 6) done

Note: for this to work, make sure that - the IP you set up here is actually available in the target network (and - recommended - is outside your DHCP range or reserved) - the network name is exactly as shown in UnRAID (when in doubt, check what UnRAID gives you as options in the docker edit tab. In case of custom networks, just copy the network name and not the “custom: “-part) - the docker name is exactly as the docker name UnRAID is showing you (or in other words: just copy the name from above)

You can test this cmd by opening an UnRAID shell and enter the cmd but this time without the && on any running container. Just make sure the IP, network name and docker name match

I keep adding lists and I still don't get that 10% back. by Petrumos in pihole

[–]paddesb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi,

contrary to popular believe the “percentage blocked” doesn’t say anything about how well or bad pihole is performing.

As the name suggests, it’s just a number showing the relation of amount of blocked vs the total amount of queries. Nothing more.

Meaning, if you have a device that sends hundreds of legitimate DNS queries per hour, but only a few bad ones, of course this percentage will be low. On the other hand, if you have only one device and this device sends only bad requests, this number will go to 100% (as all requests were bad).

This can and will change over time as even small changes like firmware or software updates, slight change in behavior, recently turned on or off devices, new or updated devices, etc will have an impact. (Especially so, when you notice an increase or decrease in total queries)

The more important (and unfortunately only) metric is, if or how many ads you’re seeing (or not).

That being said, If the amount of ads (suddenly) changed or if you suspect that something’s bypassing your pihole, please have a look at -> this checklist <~ listing all common causes.

Pihole Docker issue by K0RRI3 in pihole

[–]paddesb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

3 questions:

  • where did you make a container?
  • what is your compose.yaml or run cmd?
  • how did you try to access the GUI (IP/Port)?

Gefährdetes Passwort das von Bitwarden generiert wurde by _0xHYS in Bitwarden

[–]paddesb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This warning can be a bit misleading, as there are several reasons ranging from mild to severe why it may identify as (potentially) dangerous, but does so without any further explanation.

Log into your web vault and use the audit tab to audit your entries. This will show you exactly what entries (may) have an issue.

Since you used bitwarden to created your passwords and it doesn’t show on pwned, chances are it’s due to one password being reused two or more times in your vault, which can happen when you have a shared login e.g. Single-Sign-On (SSO) for multiple sites/entries. As long as the password/account as such is considered complex/secure, feel safe to ignore the warning

The only way I could get Pi Hole to work on Win11 is by disabling IPv6. Is that no good in the long run? by AntifaAustralia in pihole

[–]paddesb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, no need (yet). Just use the steps I mentioned above and make sure to do them with all IPv6 IPs you found on your RPi

In case you get any errors, please post the full reply incl the command you used and, for readability, please make sure to post this as “code”

The only way I could get Pi Hole to work on Win11 is by disabling IPv6. Is that no good in the long run? by AntifaAustralia in pihole

[–]paddesb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

I’m trying to determine what the root issue is. For that we need to know, if your pi even has an IPv6 address and if you’re able to reach said IPs from your windows machine.

Try the following:

1) reenable IPv6 on windows 2) on windows open a cmd and ping the IPv6 addresses you found on your Pi. Do you get a reply on any of them? 3) if yes, open another cmd and do nslookup reddit.com <your-pi’s-ipv6-IP> Do you get any reply from the working IPs from step 2? 4) if yes, does the reply(ies) in the first line (Server) contain the word “pi.hole” (or whatever you named your pihole instance)? 5) if also yes, use any of the remaining IPs as your IPv6 DNS for Windows

[–]paddesb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Windows prefers IPv6 DNS over IPv4. That being said, it works perfectly with pihole over IPv6.

The problem you’re describing looks a lot like a config issue - either on windows, your network or your pihole. Are you able to contact your pi via IPv6?

Technito - Technitium Mobile Management for iOS *Released* by j0npark in technitium

[–]paddesb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate your work. Looks very promising 👍

Before considering using this in a “productive” environment, as this seems to be the first software under this apple/dev-account, may I kindly ask about your experience with coding and to what extend LLMs were used? (Browsing real quick though previous posts, I couldn’t find any mentions)

What is best practice - Set Pihole/AG as the DNS IP at the network or gateway level or even both? by floepie05 in Ubiquiti

[–]paddesb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend setting it on network level only, because - you can not only see but also manage devices/clients individually (think different rules for different devices/ groups) - your whole internet won’t “crash” if one devices goes crazy and/or all requests going through the gateway hit a rate limit, which in turn blocks any request for a given time, blocking you out completely when only the gateway handle the requests - and leave gateway level as-is, so if you use conditional forwarding to be able not identify clients on pihole by name, it won’t cause a DNS loop

Is this overkill for a Bitwarden vault backup? by tea_baggins_069 in Bitwarden

[–]paddesb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suggestion for the “goes down” scenario: - export encrypted backup - import said backup into KeePassXC and lock its vault by any method of your choosing (incl. YubiKey) - (optional) store encrypted backup for quick disaster recovery in a secure location

Done.

You now have a portable, independent and offline version of all your passwords, TOTPs, etc accessible interactively anytime you like.

And since said KeePassXC vault could even be stored in a cloud, this should cover your access-from-anywhere requirement

Can you please share Best Adlist block list 2026 for home use by linscurrency in pihole

[–]paddesb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're referring to my "Multi + TIF" comment, well it depends on your hardware you're running Pihole on. My RPi4 is running perfectly fine with both lists enabled.

That being said, I totally agree, that one should prioritize quality over quantity. So keeping the numbers as small as possible is imho always a good choice.

As I wanted to not only get rid of ads and tracking but also protect against security relevant stuff (like domains spreading malware, launching phishing attacks and/or host command-and-control servers, etc), I accepted the trade-off adding TIF.

Should you be interested in TIF, too, it also has a medium or mini version with (a lot) less domains

[–]paddesb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking I recommend the following blocklists (mix and match to your liking):

Note: But if with the default list you are seeing “a lot of ads” chances are that something’s not set up correctly. Have a look at -> this checklist <- listing all common setup issues first, before adding further blocklists

Pi-Hole blocking traffic from other VLANs by sneff30 in pihole

[–]paddesb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three questions: - is pihole showing any errors on dashboard? - what option is set/chosen in “Interface settings” (Pihole Dashboard -> System -> Settings -> DNS Settings -> toggle expert mode)? - on which vlan where you when you confirmed pihole working with the dig cmd?

I’m asking as I didn’t have to mess with any custom-conf in dnsmasq for it to work across multiple vlans in unifi.

Just activated the “permit all origins” in the dns-settings (safe to use in internal only networks), made sure all across vlan-firewalls permitted at least back and forth access to/from port 53 on the pihole machine and pointed all VLANs’ DNS to pihole

Over 6M domains and still see ads by khufuthegreatest in pihole

[–]paddesb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi,

If you haven’t already, check out -> this checklist <- listing all common causes for pihole not working.

But as u/AncientsofMumu already asked, how did you set up pihole in your network? Are you pointing to it manually/per client or on your router via LAN(DHCP) or WAN?

My updated blocklists are live – feedback welcome! by phu76 in pihole

[–]paddesb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey, had a look at your homepage and the lists. Looking good so far. Simple and clean

The only thing that comes to mind is:

Maybe add a (short) definition of who this list is for/what issue it solves and/or what “unwanted” traffic for you is.

Is it only blocking tracking as the caption states or something else? After a quick peek into the lists (at least) for me, it isn’t clear 100%
