Setting up Pi-hole
- Thread starter NoNameNoNumber
- Start date
Nice coming back to this. Needed a very fast and dirty way to push some basic filtering into a couple of networks so have jumped on Pihole.
Upstream DNS are set to 1.1.1.3 & 1.0.0.3 and then running a couple Hagezei lists over the top. Seems to be doing the trick with only AirBnB messenger being a casualty.
@Feek did you try to dig out any possible domain names to whitelist for wifi calling to explicitly allow or just disabled the list that you found causing it?

Oh yes, I need to update.
I had a situation a couple of days later when I had an incoming call, which I answered but couldn't hear anything, it was from the local surgery so I called them back and they said I'd not answered. I went straight onto my Piholes and dropped them both down to just the minimal list but at the same time, I remembered that a few years ago, I had a situation with my work desk phone, which is an IP phone. When anyone called me, I couldn't hear them and all my outgoing calls failed.
The fix for that was to reboot my Draytek 2865.
So I rebooted my Draytek 2865 and WiFi calling has worked perfectly since. I've left my Piholes with just the minimal Hagezei list enabled and nothing else and that's been perfectly adequate, I've not noticed any ads getting through which were previously blocked.
It was probably my router, perhaps a little confused by something.
Quite annoyingly, migrating my PRTG network monitor to a new machine broke the pihole update sensor. Genuinely can't find anything different between the two machines (other than a slightly newer version of power shell, which doesn't affect the generated XML) so have given up.
Have set up GitHub notifications from the pihole repository for any release alerts.

Setup pi-hole on Thursday on a spare RPi 3b+ I had lying about. One thing I can’t figure out is why my wife’s iPhone is still having blocks being applied. I have the default group with a few lists added to it and a new group e.g. “No block” which has lists applied to it. My wife’s iPhone is in the “No block” group but is still having issues with blocks being applied.
For example, her mail app was showing the warning about network privacy settings blocking content and this is because the mask.icloud.com and mask-h2.icloud.com domains were being blocked, even though no block lists are attached to the “No block” group. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

That sounds like an iPhone setting. Does this still happen when not connected to the WiFi?
So Pihole has had an update, but also i have noticed the Hagezi github addresses have stopped working for the moment, the alternative links do work

Also for me, after updating pihole, i needed to rename the FTL database in order for pihole to start working again and the web interface to be accessible
sudo service pihole-FTL stop
sudo mv /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL-old.db
sudo service pihole-FTL start

This is why I don't jump on updates straight away.
