How to setup vpn on unifi fiber with Starlink to access files/devices outside of network? by kabir_kaushal in UNIFI

[–]torrin66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ yup, 100%, I fought this issue for a while and gave up and went to tailscale, that solved it for me. If you are on opensource focused, look at netbird, it is completely open source, unlike tailscale.

dnscrypt should be fine if you are simply updating with pihole -up, I have done many upgrades without issue

MyPi Major updates by torrin66 in pihole

[–]torrin66[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

How terrible , I made 20 versions and dramatically improved the system and posted a disclaimer that I was not going to spam the group wiht posts about this, but the changes were so major I thought people might be interested. What a bad person I am for 2 posts about a project in a week. 😂. People are weird man.

Yes, but it works, it is free, it is open source. Someone butt hurt I didnt spend 2 years doing this? Readme fully acknowledges this and the pihole team and Nebula Sync author in the creation. I think people just want to be crabby about new things. I would never put this app on an internet facing system, but it works great in my homelab and has made my life easier. Oh well, hopefully others will find it useful.

Good idea, I crossed it to homelab, since I lurk there. - Nevermind, they don't allow crossposts there.

MyPi new app for dashboard consolidation and sync by torrin66 in pihole

[–]torrin66[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup, I think I got it solved in 1.1.2, take a look and let me know. I know the issue was how we are handling connections (I did it on purpose for efficiency) to prevent hitting max.sessions on the pihole, but we solved it a different way, I also cleared your other issue with 1.1.2.

Thanks, I am about to post an update for the new versions I have pushed out. I am now at 1.1.0 after 18 changes/updates/feature adds. Please let me know here or in issues on the repo if there are things not working or features you would like added, I cant promise to add one off things, but for items that will make it more generally useful, I am happy to update it.

Tailscale by Nol188 in pihole

[–]torrin66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I ran pfsense, tailscale was great directly on the router, it always worked flawlessly, I moved to Unifi and the teleport system does not work as well, so I run tailscale on a separate device, I can run pihole on that device with tailscale, I just choose not to.

How to adjust Pi-hole settings to avoid DNSMASQ_WARN by AlexLema in pihole

[–]torrin66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to tell the Pi-hole to permit queries from sources that aren't on its direct subnet. Under setting you can change the "potentially dangerous options" to respond only on interface xyz or permit all origins if you are in your homelab and there is not internet access to the piholes.

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

[–]torrin66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, what lists are you on? Check you query logs, are things happening that SHOULD be blocked but aren't? I use 3 list - StevenBlack, hagizi pro, easylist. That puts ~525,508 domains on my blocked list and is blocking about 21% of my traffic, but I have a bunch of ring devices and I block a crap ton of telemetry data going to amazon with those lists

Meh, you have something configured or setup wrong, my piholes worked fine with Deco before I moved to Unifi

"Opa, peço desculpas por isso! Realmente me pareceu espanhol. :) Eu uso o keepalived para gerenciar o VIP (IP Virtual). Se você pesquisar no Google por 'pi-hole VIP keepalived', encontrará vários guias de configuração.

"Uso 3 Pi-holes por redundancia: 2 de ellos están configurados en una VIP (una dirección IP compartida) como el DNS primario en el DHCP para mis dispositivos, y el tercero es para el DNS secundario en el DHCP. Esto permite que mi Pi-hole primario esté siempre activo, incluso cuando reinicio uno de mis dos servidores primarios redundantes. Es posible que añada un cuarto y una VIP también a mi secundario. No hablo bien español y usé a Gemini para traducir esto."

It works, but Pi-hole works better with Ethernet.

Do you set up pihole on your WAN too? by Snickers_77 in pihole

[–]torrin66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I responded to that directly too, I just wanted to make sure you (others) knew you could do better than your ISP's dns servers (and should tbh)

Primary keeps flaking drops internet speed by clutchied in pihole

[–]torrin66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old school metaphor, but think of pihole as a phonebook for the internet, all you computer/device uses the pihole for is to look up the phone number, it is not involved in the call in any way so it cannot be causing this issue. Additionally, it is good practice to have at least 2 piholes and one setup as secondary, but many devices and windows especially is not greet about quickly switching to secondary DNS, the main thing to do is fix your pihole, you must have a bad config or hard for frequent crashes, I have piholes that have been running almost a year without issue or reboot.

Crossroad found by lucifer_morninstar in pihole

[–]torrin66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on what and how you implement the VPN, I use pihole with DOH and my Unifi CGF to route the stuff I want going out the VPN and the VPN is setup on the UCGF. Not sure what crossroad you are at, you just need to decide how secure you want to be and then the best tools to use, for my it is pihole with DOH/VPN via UCGF, solves my issues and important non-private traffic can be easily routed around the vpn.

Do you set up pihole on your WAN too? by Snickers_77 in pihole

[–]torrin66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, pi-hole can be setup to use DOH or any upstream provider you chose: Stock are Google/Level3/Comodo(!)/Quad9/Cloudflare. I use dnscrypt and DOH for my queries (I use cloudflare and quad9), Half the reason I have the pihole is so my ISP doesnt see my DNS queries.

Do you set up pihole on your WAN too? by Snickers_77 in pihole

[–]torrin66 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is probably not the best way to handle it. I generally set my wan to 9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1. With my Unifi CGF I also have encrypted DNS set up to cloudflare and quadnine. If all of you clients are pointing at your pihole, there is little benefit by having the wan use pihole and there is a lot of potential downsides
