Asking a super simple question about DNS
Asking a super simple question about DNS
I should already have the solution, but I don’t. Perhaps it’s midnight, who knows. Anyway... I’m setting up a Pi hole on my home network (a simple 192.168.10.0/24). I need the router to forward DNS requests to the Pi. The problem is I’m unsure what secondary address to use—my mind isn’t on it. I don’t want something like 8.8.8.8, as that would undermine the goal of a Pi hole. Should I set it to 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.10.1 (the default)? Thanks!
I would set the router’s IP as the secondary (192.168.10.1). To ensure only the pi-hole works, add extra IP addresses on raspbian and you’ll have two IPs to satisfy it. If the pi-hole is unavailable, your devices may stop functioning.
