Introducing Pi-hole v6
-
Thanks, I haven't used pi-hole in a while, but it looks the same for me.
-
upgrade went without a hitch (docker), only thing needed changing is the web UI password in docker-compose.yml. everything works, UI is infinitely faster, first impressions very positive.
-
I can tell you something: I'm using some free apps on my Android phone and never notice ads at home, but when I'm on the mobile network or on a different wifi (at work or some public place) I start seeing them.
-
Yes , that's how I run it in my Proxmox.
Just create the lxc, wget the installer and run it. -
Good news! Hope they implement detailed query log and support for upstream DoH DNS next.
-
Whew, this is why I pin on
sha256. I fear for thelatestcrowd.Edit: At least it seems updating the container doesn't break things:
Replacing any v5 image (2024.07.0 and earlier) with a v6 image will result in updated configuration files. These changes are irreversible.
-
What is DoH?
-
DNS Over Https
Not to be confused with
DNS Over TLS
It's just a way of keeping your ISP from reading your DNS requests.
-
Not just reading. A while back, some ISPs moved towards replacing DNS queries to known DNS servers with their own replies.
-
I don't use pihole, but everything I use is pinned by major release version. No problem yet with surprise breakage.

Is this not that, or is Cloudflare on the naughty list these days?
-
I layer up. Always pihole, and whatever I can run locally on a machine or browser.
-
Has anyone tried https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns? It seems to be a complete DNS server instead of what looks like a bunch of bash config for a standard Linux tool. There are block lists you can configure as well, and it supports pretty much everything.
It's way overkill, but hey, why not?
-
That's a good point
-
I still prefer NextDNS
-
That says it will only function for 300,000 queries per month. Based on my last 24 hours from pi-hole, that wouldn't even last a week. Are you using a paid plan?
-
Ah, I saw another comment about this. The free plan is 300,000 queries a month. That'd last me almost a week before it stops working.

Top premitted domain: e621.net
A fellow sysadmin furry I see
-
I have both but just use pihole as a local DNS server/forwarder. I bump into too many random times where sites or redirects don't work properly since they get blocked.
-
DNS over HTTPS. It allows encrypted DNS lookup with a URL, which allows for url-based customizations not possible with traditional DNS lookups (e.g. the server could have /ads or /trackers endpoints so you can choose what to block).
DNS Over TLS (DoT) is similar, but it doesn't use URLs, just IP addresses like generic DNS. Both are encrypted.
