Introducing Pi-hole v6
-
I use it in this configuration.
It works well except, if you lose connection temporarily the cloudflared stops responding until some, long (60s or so) timeout period.
A minor annoyance, I usually just manuirestart the service... but I cannot find the setting that is causing this.

What does nextdns do that pihole can't?
-
This is my setup too. I use WG-Tunnel to manage the VPN connection on my phone. It just monitors whenever you disconnect from your trusted WiFi network and automatically enables the VPN.
Only hiccup I've found is wireless Android Auto isn't a fan of a VPN.
-
I was running Pi-hole on an actual Raspberry Pi 4 that was apparently running Raspbian 10. My upgrade did not go smoothly. But I got it and I'm liking the new version. The only issue I see so far is that the admin panel in v5 used to have a "remember me for 7 days" checkbox when logging in, this version does not.

+1 for running pihole in an LXC, and a redundant pihole in a docker container.
They never update at the same time, or in the same way so near as dammit constant uptime.

Update went fine on a bare metal install. Customising the webUI port is a little easier now, instead of editing lighttdp.conf I think you can do it in the UI.
I struggled to find some settings, I looked for ages for the API token. Found it in all settings: expert, scroll for half a mile down the webUI API section.
Also, struggled with adding CNAMES in bulk, I thought you could do that in the old UI. You might be able to in the new UI. I just 'one by one'd them.
Docker update went flawlessly.
I have an lxc and to go which is a task for another day, unless TTeck's updater beats me to it.

Thank you. That's incredibly insightful. When I get the cash I'll setup a PiHole

The biggest feature for me is the ability to use it on any network (cellular, vpn, WiFi, etc). I never see ads. Pihole can’t (easily) do that.

Pi-hole is one of my favorite pieces of software. It is the reason I began self-hosting six years ago.
