After owning a Pi for about 2 years, I've finally bothered to get mine running. I just want to get Pi Hole and Plex on there, and maybe Pi VPN just so I can remote access it from outside in case it goes wrong and I'm not at home (i.e. wife rings me and is furious that I've "broken" the internet).
Just wondering if anyone has a Home Hub and can send me an image of their router settings that enable the Pi? Weirdly I had it running fine on Monday, and then brought it into work to fiddle with it yesterday, set up a load of stuff, and then at home it was absolutely useless!
Edit: so I re-imaged the Pi (for about the fourth time in as many days). got Pi Hole onto it and after some issues with the IP of my router not being set, it all seems to be working!
I found on the Home Hub that the actual settings for the DHCP server mostly don't matter, as long as you point it to the range of addresses that Pi Hole tells you. Disabling DHCP on the router made absolutely no difference, and then I had to run ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew (
https://support.nexon.net/hc/en-us/articles/115000065463-Release-Renew-IP-and-Flush-DNS - didn't do the third step on this website as it worked before that).
So all is well!
Thanks for all the info in here
